The rallying cry for Portland Oregon for the last month or so. One big-ass problem.
From Legal Insurrection:
Violence in Portland Still Rages With No Fed Involvement
Portland, Oregon has long been a hotspot of antifa violence, and that has only intensified in the months since the George Floyd protests began and were quickly turned into widespread riots, looting, arson, vandalism, and murder.
The situation became so bad that the Department of Homeland Security sent in federal law enforcement to protect federal property, particularly a federal courthouse that antifa and its cohorts in BLM were vandalizing and attempting to torch.
Instantly, the leftist narrative became that the violence in Portland was simply a reasonable reaction to “Trump’s stormtroopers.” And/or that Portland antifa violence was a “myth.”
Absolutely no one believed that for one second. Not the right, not the left, certainly not antifa and BLM who were well aware of their activities prior to the arrival of federal officers, but the lie kept getting told and retold.
So what happens when the federal law enforcement agrees to leaves Portland? Yep. More rioting, looting, arson, and mayhem.
Lots more links, photos and videos and links to other posts about this. The "peaceful protests" have always been violent. The alibi that it was a result of Federal involvement is just a lie. Protect the narrative.
