Portland Protests
[Headlines from DRJ]
It’s Right-wing groups vs Antifa today in Portland:
More than two dozen local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Federal Protective Service, were in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday to help police there monitor a right-wing rally that’s expected to draw demonstrators from around the U.S.
Self-described anti-fascists have vowed to confront the rally while leaders from the far right urged their followers to turn out in large numbers to protest the arrests of six members of right-wing groups in the run-up to the event.
What, exactly, is going to happen?
It’s hard to say. Portland’s largest protests tend to be roving, unpredictable affairs.
But here’s what we know:
Two Florida men with large followings in the right-wing movement are holding an “End Domestic Terrorism” rally Saturday at 11 a.m. in Tom McCall Waterfront Park. An organizer said he expects up to 1,000 people show up for the event, which seeks to draw like-minded people from around the country as a show of force against self-described anti-fascists, or antifa.
Rose City Antifa, Portland’s homegrown, amorphous band of anti-fascist activists, is calling on supporters to turn out in opposition to the rally.
UPDATE: Bear spray, shields, metal poles seized at Portland protests

Oh, boy. A plethora of mommy-daddy basements will be emptying, as masked weirdos hit the streets to foppishly throw stuff at peaceful demonstrators.

What always happens. The violent folks will be called “anti-fascists”, incited by right wing “provocateurs”.

Nic (896fdf) — 8/17/2019 @ 11:25 amPortland might as well put this mess on pay-per-view and make a few bucks to pay for the extra police hours. They can get some aging 60s street radical and a former National Guardsman from Kent State to provide color commentary.

Completely unsurprising that you’d fall for that. Also not terribly surprised that you’re rooting for the nazis.
Davethulhu (bc6fa6) — 8/17/2019 @ 12:24 pm“Even everyday Republicans doing everyday Republican stuff have earned threats from antifa. In May, Portland, Ore., had to cancel its Rose Parade because participants from the local GOP were threatened with being dragged out of the event and beaten.“

You’re beclowning yourself now. You ought to consider bowing out of this comment thread.
JVW (54fd0b) — 8/17/2019 @ 2:45 pmI’m reading that Portland has all 1000 of its police officers on duty this afternoon, to prevent violence. Sounds like a great day to break in to a jewelry store.
(Yeah, I know that all 1000 of them aren’t likely to be assigned to the downtown rally.)
JVW (54fd0b) — 8/17/2019 @ 2:52 pm“You’re beclowning yourself now. You ought to consider bowing out of this comment thread.”
I referenced threats against people just for being Republicans and he pulls the ‘white ethnostate’ card.

You don’t have to be a fan of antifa to recognize that the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, etc. are nazis and white supremacists. I don’t see how this is controversial.
Davethulhu (bc6fa6) — 8/17/2019 @ 5:53 pmLooks like it came off as well as could be expected. No major clashes.
Nic (896fdf) — 8/17/2019 @ 5:54 pmNotice the liberal/left is A-ok with political violence and AntiFa. My advice to illegal aliens or leftist who want to commit crimes, go to Portland. They’d be happy to be robbed or mugged by a “Immigrant” or Leftist. Anything for “the Cause”.
rcocean (1a839e) — 8/17/2019 @ 5:56 pmThey need 1000 policeman to keep 500 Antifa from attacking 50 Neo-Nazis. pathetic.
rcocean (1a839e) — 8/17/2019 @ 5:57 pmHere’s an idea. Pass a law forbidding masks in public rallies. Why is antifa allowed to wear masks? Also, force the neo-nazis to pay for police protection.
rcocean (1a839e) — 8/17/2019 @ 5:59 pmPortland’s pretty messed up if masked idiots wildly swinging claw hammers and mob assaulting defenseless individuals (even children) while their stooges block photographers is a mild day.
Maybe that magazine named after the perpetrators of the Reign Of Terror can tell us how today was Andy Ngo’s fault too.

No, you just have to be a fan of media narratives. Name one Nazi or white supremacist stance that Joey Gibson has embraced.
Munroe (20b54c) — 8/17/2019 @ 6:21 pm“Portland’s pretty messed up if masked idiots wildly swinging claw hammers and mob assaulting defenseless individuals (even children) while their stooges block photographers is a mild day.”
Did a little research on these, you can see the details if you look at the replies to the tweets you linked.
The hammer came from the guys on the bus, who some are claiming were swinging at folks as they drove around.
The “young girl” is in fact 24 is there with her dad, John Turana aka Based Spartan. Their outfits show that they’re both clearly looking for a fight.
Andy Ngo seems to be in the same school as James O’Keefe with his deceptive videos.
Davethulhu (bc6fa6) — 8/17/2019 @ 6:26 pmIf you’re cosponsoring demonstrations with the nancy, um proud, boys, you’re hugging it out at a minimum, full on tonsil hockey is more likely. I mean, Franco wasn’t Hitler, just Hitler adjacent.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 8/17/2019 @ 6:37 pm“No, you just have to be a fan of media narratives. Name one Nazi or white supremacist stance that Joey Gibson has embraced.”
Joey Gibson must be continually baffled at all the nazis and white supremacists that keep showing up at his rallies.
The simple answer is that he provides cover.

The “throwing people out of helicopters” t-shirt is definitely a good look.
Davethulhu (bc6fa6) — 8/17/2019 @ 6:50 pmIt’s pretty simple… people who resort to covering their faces to mask their identities are not working for the common good. Criminals, e.g., bank robbers, home invaders, bomb throwers, KKK, etc., wear masks.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 8/17/2019 @ 6:52 pmIf wearing a t-shirt that shows questionable taste was a crime, America couldn’t build prisons fast enough to keep up with the demand. What a load of horseschiff.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 8/17/2019 @ 6:58 pm“It’s such a rape culture with these immigrants, I don’t even think these women see it as rape. They see it as just like having a teeth [sic] pulled. ‘It’s a Monday. I don’t really enjoy it,’ but that’s what you do. I wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t have the same trauma as it would for a middle-class white girl in the suburbs because it’s so entrenched into their culture.” — Gavin McInnes, Get Off My Lawn, June 19, 2018
“Muslims have a problem with inbreeding. They tend to marry their first cousins…and that is a major problem here because when you have mentally damaged inbreds — which not all Muslims are, but a disproportionate number are — and you have a hate book called the Koran…you end up with a perfect recipe for mass murder.” — Gavin McInnes, Get Off My Lawn, April 24, 2018

“Well look at the canary in the coal mine called Britain. We see guys get away with raping children regularly, and they have excuses like ‘I didn’t understand the word ‘no.’’ We have a woman raped several times in one night. All these guys seem to…they don’t all get away but they seem to get away way too often. And then you have people being jailed for rude tweets and comments when they’re white, so…people in America say ‘Muslim are what? One or two percent of the population? There’s never gonna be sharia law here.’ And I say have a look at Britain. Have a look at Europe. That’s where we’re headed.”

“I just realized something. Cory Booker is kind of like Sambo. He’s kind of shucking and jiving for the white man. Cory Booker grew up rich in an all-white suburb. He’s basically a white guy. His parents were very wealthy executives at IBM… .But he wants to be a black dude, so he pretends that he’s down with the brothers and he acts outraged about racism all the time — for white people. That gets him votes from whites.”
—Gavin McInnes on his CRTV show “Get Off My Lawn,” January 17, 2018
“The white liberal ethos tells us blacks aren’t at MIT because of racism. They say blacks dominate the prison population for the same reason. They insist America is a racist hellhole where ‘people of color’ have no future. This does way more damage to black youth than the KKK. When you strip people of culpability and tell them the odds are stacked against them, they don’t feel like trying. White liberals make this worse by then using affirmative action to “correct” society’s mistakes. When blacks are forced into schools they aren’t qualified for they have no choice but to drop out. Instead of going back a step to a school they can handle, they tend to give up on higher education entirely. Thanks to the Marxist myth of ubiquitous equality, this ‘mismatch’ leaves blacks less educated than they would have been had they been left to their own devices.”

“Buying woman parts from a hospital and calling yourself a broad trivializes what it is to be a woman. Womanhood is not on a shelf next to wigs and makeup. Similarly, being a dude is quite involved.

Meaning, you simply don’t have an answer — thus, a reference to “cover” bought by no media narrative ever.
The only cover being swallowed whole is that a group of “anti-fascists”, by sheer coincidence, occupy the same space as violent nihilist thugs and communists.

I challenge you to point out where in this thread I’m defending antifa. Pointing out that their enemies (who plenty of folks in this thread are defending) are horrible is not defense.

harkin (58d012) — 8/17/2019 @ 7:06 pm“The fact that this group has exploded so quickly is a testament to how completely finished young American men and women are with apology culture. Men have tried being ashamed of themselves and accepting blame for slavery, the wage gap, ableism, and some fag-bashing that went on two generations ago, but it didn’t work. So they’re going with their gut and indulging in the natural pride that comes from being part of the greatest culture in the world. It’s very freeing to finally admit the West is the best. That’s because it’s the truth.”
