They seem to fail to report early ANTIFA’s social media posts that encouraged its members to “bring guns”. Zero Hedge had an article on it about a week ago. Our side we be stupid NOT to bring guns in light of that.

Yes.

Landscape mode only, please.

And have your BACK to the sun.

The only thing worse than portrait mode is "SILHOUETTE" mode where you can't see anything but black blobs.

Antifa rioting could potentially turn the voters against the leftists this November.

Get stills of all the participants, and have outliers photographing vehicle plates. Get several heavy-troll signs and focus on the reactors around those.

It is Portland after all.
To be sure the city police are getting their stand-down hiding places ready as to be out of camera range of any bad press.

The Patriot Prayer group reportedly had a permit for their rally, but police revoked the permit after the riot began.

Portland police are on top of their game.

The winner is the side that gets to wave the bloody shirt.
You do NOT want guns, no matter if the others have them, you want martyrs.

You want people willing to be martyrs.

That is acceptable. Almost happened to us in NYC.

If a person waves a bloody shirt in the forest where no one can see it, was there ever a victim?

Think about that if/when our side is the one waving the bloody shirt.

“... and self-described anti-fascist counter-protesters “

Uh yeah, why do you let militant communists and anarchists define themselves in neutral terms?

Ten years ago Antifa was anti-cop calling all police Fascists. They also called GW Bush a Fascist.

Since anyone to the right of Marx is a Fascist in their worldview, take that mythmaking out of the description.

They also are not counter-protesters. They are a violent mib who riot and march even ehen no one from ‘the other side’ shows up. So scratch antifascist counterprotesters.

Portland officials are PRAYING for a “Charlottesville” to result on their streets.

The “worry” is an open invitation to “come on in and smash heads.” I dislike that commie city. Too bad that it doesn’t just slide into the Columbia River to be washed out to sea.

“Sure, msm keeps stirring the pot.”

Yup. Trying to instigate an incident they can report on. They are hoping someone will get hurt or killed. Tell me again how they are not the enemy of the American people.

The entire Hill article is a disinformation campaign. Let's start with this picture, which is very prominently displayed at the very top of the article:

It's not quite the perfect trifecta, lacking a LARPer in full Nazi SS regalia holding a Swastika flag, but pretty close. You've got the full on KKK (kostumed klown) and of course lots of rebel flags.

So, before we've read WORD ONE of this article, we know it's about REALLY BAD PEOPLE

Is the picture of the people protesting in Portland this weekend? No, clearly not. I have followed the Patriot Prayer group closely, and their rallies in the area. They are not a White Supremacist group, the founder Joey Gibson is ethnic Japanese, many of the most prominent members are from various non-white ethnic group. So, that picture is NOT from anyone associated with what is going on in Portland.

Well the story theme is "Portland may be like Charlottsville" , which itself is a strange way to prefigure an event to begin with, so obviously the picture is of the infamous Charlottsville march, right?

Well Google Picture Search show it's a very popular picture, with over 120 occurrences of it on various sites, many news organizations, mostly foreign, and a lot of bloggers.

It's frequently used as the static 'cover photo" for videos on the topic of racism, far-right and anti-semitism, even thought the image isn't in the video.

The clear implication of the article in using the term "another Charlottsville" is that the upcoming Portland event will be like the infamous 'Unite the Right Rally' in Charlottesville took place on Aug 12, 2017, during which one counter-protester died, and for which a protester has been charged with murder.

Well, looking around some more we find out that this picture is *NOT* from the infamous "Unite the Right" rally, but from an actual KKK rally a month earlier. Here is a report on the KKK rally (also in Charlottsville) on July 8, 2017 from the Times of Israel, story dated July 11, 2017. This rally had the visuals that the Leftist media wanted the Unite the Right rally to have, so they just use them.

FAKE NEWS.

The whole story is Fake, because, as I pointed out the Portland event has nothing to do with the KKK, nothing to do with the events of Charlottsville, doesn't feature any of the same people, or groups, or themes.

Far Right huh? Beginning to sound like Europe where everything that's not socialism is automatically labeled Far Right.

I too have noticed that change in American media lately. They are getting desperate.

Wasn’t the founder of the SPLC recently accused of having diddled one,or more,kids?

Someone obtained court documents from his divorce. It was alleged that he attempted to rape his stepdaughter with a sex toy.

Well the rights of the people to peaceably assemble and petition the government for the redress of grievances is being trampled on in Portland. And, the local police are in cahoots with the violent mobs doing the trampling.

It is reminiscent of the Civil Rights era, where blacks protesting were set upon by white mobs backed by the local police. The Selma Bridge incident, where protesters had dogs and fire hoses used on a peaceful march, it the most famous example.

The marchers in Selma were protected by Federalized National Guard Troops who eventually gave them enough protection to allow them to finish their march (which was 60 miles long)

It is well past time for President Trump to use Federalized National Guard Troops (perhaps from Idaho, to go around the Gov. of Oregon) to enforce the rights of the Patriot Prayer group to exercise their First Amendment rights.

Yesterday I saw an interview with Joey Gibson (mentioned in the article) who stated his side would be armed with concealed firearms. He said that is their standard practice.

After having posted my comment I did a little research and found that there was more to it than that.In addition to what you observed he was also caught peeking into that girl's bedroom window...at night.When she called his name he ran away.

So,IOW,the SPLC...just like Planned Barrenhood...was founded by a filthy,depraved piece of filth which,given the mission of the two organizations is very,very fitting indeed.
