Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) declared a state of emergency ahead of this weekend’s far-right rally in Portland. The decision also comes after protesters and police clashed during demonstrations over the grand jury decision not to directly indict any officer involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Ky.

“The First Amendment does not give anyone license to hurt or kill someone because of opposing political views,” Brown said during a press conference. “And when free expression is fueled by hate and coupled with an intent to incite violence, then I need to do everything I can as governor to ensure the safety of Oregonians.”


OMG is this woman actually that stupid? What does she think has been going on in Portland for the last 100+ days?

The recall against her came up 1% short of the signatures needed last month.

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/514533-oregon-gop-effort-to-recall-kate-brown-fails-again

She knows exactly how thin the ice is that she’s skating on.

What she’s doing now is trying to outlaw any opposition to the terrorism she’s been inflicting on Oregon.

Her people riot and terrorize, their DA drops all charges. The Right tries to do a simple demonstration - and the Proud Boys even tried to get a permit for theirs - and she goes into full insanity mode and will call out National Guard. Count on it.

That’s the Communist game being run by the hideous cretin “Brown”.

far-right rally

Repeat after me, citizen.

There is no such thing as "far left".

We live in the world of a one-winged bird--it only has a right wing!

Hope she does call out the NG!

She’ll finally see what a peaceful protest looks like.

And when she tells them to stand down for the next real riots, she’ll have put herself in a box of logic that the voters will see.

...well, those voters with open eyes anyway

“when free expression is fueled by hate and coupled with an intent to incite violence”

Two conclusionary statements in one sentence.

She treats people unequally based on “intent” which only she can divine.

What a superior being of light she is! She telepathically reads peoples minds and declares them to be devoid of Constitutional rights because of it!

Kinda like Southern sheriffs in 1961.

The use of excessive force, for suppressing the political right, has been approved.

I hear constantly of people fleeing the entire state of Oregon, not just Portland, leaving the state. These are taxpayers and productive citizens that are taking their businesses, their jobs and skills with them leaving Brown’s base - welfare users, illegals, antifa living in mother’s basement, BLM.

They’ll come after Brown next, the left always eat their own. And they won’t show the same favoritism and mercy to her that she’s shown to them.

My new theory is that these enablers are one of them.

IOW, antifa and BLM have infiltrated our government and police forces and are now being activated and protecting their own to further their agenda.
