Portland Should Shock All Americans (Barf Alert)
AL.com ^ | 7/24/2020 | John Archibald

Posted on 07/25/2020 10:43:49 AM PDT by Micro aggressor

Little has been more disconcerting than the images out of Portland.

A mayor gassed by the federal government. Mysterious men in camo sweeping the city like a video game, pushing citizens into unmarked vans with the authority of sticks and guns.

AL.com/The Birmingham News is apparently competing with the New York Times, and the Washington Post for the most “woke” newspaper in the country. Just the usual gaslighting, Alabama bashing, and Trump bashing from a leftist political hack posing as a journalist.

Yes, Portland should shock Americans. But not in the way these morons mean.

The violence, vandalism and assaults by leftist radicals does shock me as does the attempt by the media and Democrats to downplay what has been going on.

Al.com would be singing a different tune if they had antifa terrorists burning down their cities for months on end.

Might be a good strategy to let these hovels burn, reek, then disintegrate.

What is shocking is when elected officials aid and abet arson, vandalism, murder and theft. What the heck is their end game? How do they stand to benefit? Why aren’t the citizens rising up and demanding action? I expected them to greet the feds like the French welcomed the allies in 1944.

It’s war. Let’s get it over with. We have to resolve this thing one way or the other, and the sooner the better. Otherwise, it’s watching our rights be taken away one at a time while we are accused of racism.

Portland and Seattle have been the Home Grounds for Antifa for a long time. They have had on and off riots and demonstrations for years. This year however, they have come out in force with Financial backing from George Soros and his Cronies. Because the Mayors of these Cities and their Governors are all super Lefties wont do anything to stop the destruction, eventually the president may have to Federalize the National Guard and send them in. When and if that happens, the Mainstream Media will go Crazy which is exactly what Antifa wants.

53 days of nonstop rioting, OTOH — business as usual and should just be accepted.

More like: “AntiFA and Black Lives Matter shocked at the slow pace at which their demands are being met - Head Warlord issues stern warning to North Americans that: “Time is running out to get with the Pogrom.”

I am sure the Birmingham News team was just as shocked when plain clothes detectives made an arrest in San Diego:

The San Diego Police Department tells KPBS that the outcome of an internal investigation into a controversial arrest will remain secret. The June 4 arrest, which was captured on video, shows a young woman being put into an unmarked van by a group of armed men who didn’t identify themselves. It happened outside of San Diego High School following a Black Lives Matter protest.

It sparked an outcry online and questions of whether the woman had been abducted. The next day, SDPD identified the men as plainclothes detectives. SDPD said that the detectives sprang into action after they say they saw the young woman swing a sign at a passing police officer on a motorcycle.

Source

This is just another left wing talking point - suddenly an arrest by plain clothes law enforcement officers is somehow a terrible attack on the Constitution. Where have all these Democrats and leftists been for the last 100 years? Why didn't they outlaw such an obvious breach of the Constitution years ago? Hmm, maybe because they know the whole story they are spreading is just one big lie.

Yeah, Portland should shock the Africa-American voters there so they don't vote in November. They should be very angry at the DemocRATS for ruining their city, but they won't basically vote for Trump (some will). Many will not vote at all making it easier for the Republicans (DOH!).

Since this is happening in the other big DemocRATic cities, I would imagine the same will happen. I would say some Dem Senators and Dem congress critters will fall in these Dem states since the Dem suburbs won't like what has happened either.

No, Portland is bad, very bad for the DemocRATS and I'll bet the polling is showing that and and they will have the Press pivot shortly into finding something else to blame Trump with.

Burning Cities with COVID does not play well for the Dems. It shows very weak, if non-existent, leadership.

What shocks me is that John Archibald is writing propaganda in support of a seditious conspiracy by the Left.

I don't even have to look at the Twitter timeline of this Commie POS...

My thoughts exactly.

These people, such as the writer of this article, are angered by the intervention of federal law enforcement to try to stop the violence.

But they are not angered at all by the violence itself.
