” though critics say it seeks to provoke violent responses from Antifa.”

What???? How do they provoke Antifa? By existing?

So. two groups opposed to facists (themselves) are fighting each other? Or something? The old “We hate them more than you do.” “Nuh uh. We hate them more.” “Oh yeah?”. Will any of them actually do any time other than the initial incarceration? Good thing they’re peaceful huh?

At least seven people were arrested after clashing with police in Portland where white nationalists and Antifa counter-demonstrators faced off in tense dueling protests on Sunday.

Patriot Prayer is not white nationalist. But the media always has to try and create some kind of moral equivalence between free speech conservatives and communist antifa thugs.

Back in 2002, I spent a month and a half in Portland. While I was there George Bush made a visit. And of course there was a "demonstration" in downtown Portland. The people I was staying with, good conservatives, said that most of the people who show up and do damage to the storefronts are not from Portland.

So, these antifa people are just the same people with a more fierce cause, plus we now know that they are getting paid to show up.

I think they will show up anywhere. But the media seems to portray their victims as “far-right” and “asking for it” as if the definition of “far-right” is “Anyone that Antifa attacks”.

Hmmm. I originally heard that the two groups were both (yeah, I know there are no “both”) protesting white people. Which is what it boils down to. By mostly young white folks. Uh, WTF? Slackers need to be kissing the ground every morning that they weren’t born in friggin’ Zimbabwe or Mogadishu. Hard times? They don’t have a clue. Ungrateful snots!

Who has time to demonstrate and march around for or against this-n-that?

Oh, that’s right. Unemployable Liberal Theater Majors!

*SMIRK*

(As the weather cools and the snow flies, I’m thinking we’ll see less and less of this idiocy from either side...)

These would be the easiest kinds of violence for law enforcement to stop. An on the ball intel effort doesn’t even need to have the leaders arrested. Just find the thug’s paymasters and hold them as long a possible. Send them to Gitmo. Cut off the money and these “protests” die on the vine.

I’ve noticed that on these news sites and such that aren’t directly designed for babykillers, like NYT or WAPO or HuffPost, that the feed back is always overwhelmingly for Trump. If liberals are such a majority where are they?

My post was unclear I meant sites other than dedicated liberal sites. On general news sites Trumpets outnumber RATs overwhelmingly.

Just arrest anyone with a mask who refuses to take it off. Violent protesting over.

My thought as well. A mandated tag.

"White Nationalists" ... what kind of b.s. label is that? It's voiced in derogatory fashion. Are they saying it's bad to put our nation first? Or, are they saying it's bad to be a caucasian? The reporter proves himself either a one-world-order type, or a racist.

Antifa is “Occupy Wall Street” version 3.0.

(”Black Lives Matter” was version 2.0)

The same know-nothing imbeciles, only with more violence.
