PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — One person was shot and killed late Saturday in Portland, Oregon, as a large caravan of President Donald Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed in the streets, police said.
I’m glad this death had nothing to do with Donald Trump’s rhetoric. /s
It needs to be made clear to everyone that this is Trump’s America. This is not Biden’s America. The White House seems to be confused about who’s been President for the last three-and-a-half years.
Trump will over-play this, and that is because he is an unfeeling, sadistic, insane individual.
One really hopes that this was some kind of internal dispute, the rise in the violence is handing Trump a rhetorical gift,
Drawing attention to the Vox review of studies that violent protest in past has played into backlash and ended up harming goals (https://www.vox.com/2020/6/2/21275901/police-violence-riots-jacob-blake-kenosha-wisconsin) there really needs to be a stepped up efforts to make sure any protests are self-policing, strictly non-violent and that includes vandalism (Judis comment in Ed Blog a week ago about the Lefty academics excusing such as ‘legitimate political’ acts was spot on that the minority (or not) business owner in these districts or just the poor bastard whose car was parked in the wrong place and gets burned, none of whom have anything to do with what the police do suffer to no good effect for us.)
And whatever the “they’re violent too” excuses: One can’t control what the other side is doing or will do, but one can push on the Anti-Trump side to show discipline and understand to win we have to have the high ground (high ground not being the passive do nothing ground, but high-ground in a very military tactical sense).
I am starting on social media with this crap to remind people that the election hasn’t happened yet, Joe isn’t in charge now, Donnie is and no amount of projection will change that. Was it clear that the BLM were unarmed? I didn’t see that yet.
BTW, Don is coming to Kenosha this week. Lucky them. I wonder if he’ll bring paper towels. Nothing on the agenda about visiting Blake, but I bet he makes an unannounced visit to Antioch, IL, where the shooter remains.
Any idea who’s on the morning talk shows?
WE, the public journalist and commenters on comment boards, tweeter, facebook etc need to start calling these people what they are" Domestic Terrorist radicalized by tRump. Their indoctrination is no different than what has been used on the Islamic young men and some women. Even the deep religious aspect of it.
This country is not only being overrun by Fascism within out government but also it is being terrorized by the Radicalized White Supremacist Right Wing with the blessing of the Evangelical community. Not only has the government been infiltrated by White Supremacist or should I say invited in by the current administration the country’s public service department, the police has been infiltrated by white supremacist.
This is the story.
anything good, no matter the cause, is because of Trump, because he is president. Anything bad is not his fault because… this is Bidens vision of the future.
People with a basic understanding of the passage of time and object permanence will struggle with this concept as Biden is not yet president. Fox and Oann viewers have no such problem.
That is the Ball Game folks; one of theirs is killed.
Seriously, people of color should ask these mostly white protesters in Portland to stop hijacking their movement. They are not helping the BLM cause at all.
I realize DJT tried to goose the protests in Portland with federal troops a couple weeks ago, But hey, it’s been more than 90 days since the protests started. Get a life people.
Go home. Get a fucking job doing something. Volunteer to help people register to vote. Pick up litter. Clean up your mess and quit burning shit every night.
An accelerant was used to ignite a mattress and other debris that was laid against the door of the Portland Police Association building, police said in a statement. At least one dumpster had also been set on fire in the street nearby.
CNN photo from last night:
And like clockwork, the Doom Brigade appears. The complete story is not out, and “we’re Doomed”.
I’m glad for the Greatest Generation that came before us.
The logic of the Trump Cult is pretty much the same as that of any religion.
Care to elaborate?
Enough
This is what our country has deteriorated to under tRump"
No need!
Trump and other speakers at last week’s convention evoked a violent, dystopian future if Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden wins in November…
… and guaranteed one should Chiselin’ Trump win in November.
It’s a case of ‘friendly fire’.
No?
Some people say…
I know that ‘one side’ was encouraged to show up with guns. Concealed carry was specified in the ‘call to arms’ on facebook.
The other side - isn’t known to carry firearms. Sure,it’s possible.
But it’s also possible some trigger happy tRumpster fired off a round at a ‘thug’ in the street - missed - and hit a buddy.
If that’s the case, the shooter will likely never be found/identified.
So, we’ve gotten to the body count stage?
OMFG!
