“Mostly peaceful” Antifa and BLM protesters almost beat a man to death

Something awful happened in Portland. The “mostly peaceful” protesters who we were assured would leave the moment Trump pulled federal law enforcement officers from the federal courthouse, tried to beat a man to death.

This is what happens when Antifa and BLM run riot in the streets. They are socialist terrorist groups, and they are doing what Hitler’s brownshirts and Mussolini’s black-clad militia did in the 1920s and 1930s: Taking control of the cities from the streets through murderous mob violence and political intimidation.

Will the police go after citizens who try to put this down because the police can’t do their job with the leftist thugs?

Most metro police forces answer to leftist thug mayors and “city managers”.

“Peaceful death beatings” are now a thing in Democrap mitthole cities...

[FreedomPoster]

They already have. Or at least the local prosecutor, part of the law enforcement system.

Is this the guy they dragged out of the truck?

[dhs12345]

Yes they will. Your choice but maybe it is best to leave the scene for your own safety of course.

You will get no justice if you remain.

In normal times, it would be best to stay. However times are no longer normal. We are in the middle of a civil war. Of, and be prepared to have the rioters armed.

You bet:

They were charged with felonies.

But most of us won't be well-off lawyers like Mark and Patricia McCloskey with the ability to fight back. We'll be just regular people with regular jobs, which we will immediately lose because right or wrong, our employers will not want to put up with the hassle of angry mobs showing up every morning.

After losing our jobs (good luck finding another one. "Racist" will be the first word that shows up when future employers google your name) we'll lose our savings, our cars will be repossessed, and our homes will be foreclosed. Our children will be bullied in school and our spouses will likely lose their jobs as well.

So, if we're lucky, we may stay out of prison but forever branded as racists, we'll be professionally and socially destroyed, unemployable, and financially ruined.

Antifa doesn't have this disadvantage. They have no families to support, no mortgages to pay. If they have jobs, they don't get fired for being "woke".

Some people remember this still.

The world knows who these “protesters” are.

[HighSierra5]

Mostly VD free.

In a country where savagely dismembering an unborn child is called “choice” and starvation-euthanizing is called “compassionate care” - “peaceful attempted murder” comes with little suprise.

I think this “incident” was the first time I saw a man in khakis and a pink Brooks Brothers shirt holding a rifle...

Pull your F’n pants up.

but most of them were peacefully watching, cheering, and clapping.

[stremba]

Why do we continue to allow the left to play linguistic games? (Rhetorical - they control the media for the most part). The term “mostly peaceful” is really quite Orwellian. It really just means violent.

Would you want to fly on an airplane that’s “mostly mechanically sound”? Would you want civilians in a combat zone that’s “mostly secure”? Mostly peaceful is mostly just a big load of BS.

If a mob tries to stop my vehicle I will keep driving. I’d rather do a bit of time rather than spending the rest of my life drooling on a pillow or dead. Better them than me. I would avoid this situation in the first place.

My opinion is if the government won’t protect us than vigilantism will eventually follow and rightfully so.

He has not died, good!

Rumors circulated yesterday that he had passed?
