Woke mobs are coming for you if you are an elected official with conservative values. In cities and towns all across America, organized and well-funded protest groups have begun attacking city councilors, mayors, county commissioners, and members of school boards. It’s not just the big cities. Increasingly, small towns have faced similar harassment. The woke mob has targeted local elected officials for the sin of not being sufficiently woke. Its goal appears to be to intimidate conservatives from getting involved at any level of government. It also appears that the mob efforts are expanding faster than anyone realizes.
Here in Oregon, the small, rural, conservative-leaning towns of Estacada and Mollala have recently seen elected officials threatened with recall. In Oregon City, a medium-sized city south of Portland, a protest group has organized a recall against the mayor. The suburb of Gresham saw resignations from its mayor, city manager, and chief of police. And in Salem, the state’s capital, several school board members have been targeted for destruction.
This trend is growing and expanding and it appears to be the work of well-funded progressive groups on the local level with ties to large national non-profits pushing a radical agenda.
In Estacada, Mayor Sean Drinkwine was forced to apologize after he posted in a Facebook group, “I would not and have not condoned these BLM Vigils in our community. All city staff and I are working tirelessly to shut these Vigils down … Our number one concern is to keep our city safe and free from conflict.”
Disagreeing with the Marxist goals of BLM and opposing looting and violence will get you in trouble no matter how small your town is.
Dan Holladay, the Mayor of Oregon City, is now facing recall for attempting to cite, perhaps clumsily, accurate statistics

The message here: if you are planning to create a local patrol group, do it quietly and not on a public platform.
When will people have enough of this?
Yep.
Loose lips sink ships and all that.

Just wait until after the election. If Trump wins, he’ll have more...flexibility. If he loses, well, one side is better armed and trained than the other, and is holding off or, as Dalton sez in “Roadhouse”:
“Be nice, until its time to not be nice.”
When will people have enough of this?
Depending on who wins...
“The message here: if you are planning to create a local patrol group, do it quietly and not on a public platform.”
This has been thought of. We will be ready.
And, shazam, after certain protestors are - shall we say - a bit troubled, no witnesses will come forward.
This has been going on for years.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
They targeted Scottsdale and the arrests have started.
34 so far and more are being tracked.
I don’t think BLM will be back in Scottsdale.
“When will people have enough of this?”
Tomorrow night at 8:23pm
The BLM tried to bring it to my little town. They were gone by 7:30pm. Total ghost town. Not a soul to be found. They were ran out of here so fast they didn’t even have time to spray paint anything.
The fighting will get real hot and heavy AFTER we lose everything and our cities and homes are engulfed in flames then will the people wake up from their stupper! But not until then! Ugh!!
RE: When will people have enough of this?
Only when the mob HITS THEIR TOWN.
Otherwise, they just shrug their shoulders and assume that it is a far away phenomenon that does not concern them.
When.
Oh, stop this foolishness. They don’t have enough protesters to do anything. It’s an effort to create a crisis among the majority in flyover country. You are aiding and abetting them in that effort.
BLM and Antifa are comprised mostly of unemployed basement dwelling soyboys hiding behind masks and pretending to be big, dangerous black men. They cower and slink away at the first sign of opposition. That’s why the Democrat mayors of those cities pull back the police.
Well, they are supported by the FBI.
