Welcome back to World According to Briggs! This video covers the ongoing protest and unrest in Portland Oregon. The Portland news is reporting on the Portland riots and the impact on the city of Oregon. The rumors and bad faith reporting has gotten to the point that President Trump is deploying the national guard. Are they really needed?
We needed the troops about 3 years ago .. My extended family who moved here to Portland and fell in love with it 16 years ago, have all returned to Austin and Alabama in disgust. Of course I'm the only one who complained out loud .. and also the only one still here. I'm an optimist.
Far greater problem than Antifa is black racial attacks on white people due to the constant demonization of “Whiteness!” by the democrats and their media. This Chicago Tribune editorial with a link on Real Clear Politics yesterday leaves out the main ingredients. There’s nothing at all new about women being punched by men in downtown Chicago or in other cities around the country and these attacks are by black men on white women. They are racial hate crimes which is why they happen and they are allowed to continue because they are black on white and the democrats and their media refuse to report this or stop them for that reason. This sure wouldn’t be allowed if the races were reversed. This is a direct result of the demonization of “Whiteness!” by the left which is evil and insane.
“Rumors of a “Loop puncher” have swirled in Chicago for months — stories of women attacked seemingly at random. It turns out, there’s more than one man throwing punches, and not just downtown.”
As Blechschmidt described it, Livingston came up and hit her square in the face.
“We made eye contact, and like, he just had pure hate in his eyes. Just anger, pure anger,” she told WGN, adding that “letting him go home is not working.”
“Too often, those accused of violent outbursts are cycled through courts without the kind of intervention — mental health or otherwise — that could prevent the next attack. That leaves women to bear the burden of vigilance.”
Editorial: Chicago can’t shrug off the unease random attacks create.
That can't possibly be true. Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson say, "nothing to see here". Chicago's not under attack by lunatics and crazies, gangs and criminal illegals. I know you live there and all and have eyes and ears, but trust what the fat man has to say; his useful idiot lackey confirms that Chicago is just fine.
Wait, what happened to the genocide rants? You are confusing. Maybe you figured out that supporting Islam conflicts with your other values? Make a choice, because you must realize you can’t have it both ways. Western Civilization or antisemitism?
Unfortunately, the only genocide being committed is by Hamas and keffiyeh loving imbecils that will happily slit every throat in sight, including their own, on behalf of their "social justice" efforts. Dipshits like the professional brat, Greta Thrunberg and reporters at the NYT, can't be bothered to accurately report what is happening in Gaza because, ultimately, their efforts are to promote an agenda very different from what is actually happening. People suffer in war but the over-the-top, willfully inaccurate reporting is totally pathetic and not to be trusted.
100% Jen. Antisemitism is equivalent to anti- Western Civilization. It’s time to force the issue. Do they hate Jews more than they love Western Civilization? No more both sides of the fence here. It’s time to choose. I hope they choose wisely.
This particular commenter has been very vocal about “genocide” and veiled antisemitism (I’m just anti-Zionist!).
IANAL and this is not legal advice but there is a legal doctrine called disparity of force which allows deadly force against an unarmed attacker. The criteria for disparity include such things as sex, size and age. There are others but these would seem to be relevant to your scenario. Of course, all the other rules for deadly force apply and bare fear won't work. If you have the misfortune to live in a city you should educate yourself self about this body of law. Masaad Ayoob and Andrew Branca are good places to start. Remember though that the places where this is important are also the places where you are most likely to be hauled into a kangaroo court.
He certainly has lotsa energy for someone purported to have dementia. Will be interesting to observe press coverage of this given his foot in mouth disease.
Trying to reduce violent crime is the ultimate in fascism. We must accommodate the oppressed; they need to be allowed to commit crimes of their choosing.
Don't have the patience to watch a live stream so I hope you summarize and analyze later. I trust you for a fair summary. The foot soldiers are easy to find but the important thing is to prosecute the politicians who enable them which are also pretty obvious. Even more important is to connect the dots to the funders. This takes a lot of resources to investigate as they are adept at covering their tracks. A good start would be a close look at Open Society, Arabella and Tides. Lots of other foundations and NGOs involved too but if you start pulling threads out of those three, you will find a large cadre.

FYI 1800+ replies most are negative.

The number one rule about the falsely named "Anti-fa" is that they are the opposite of that – they are fascistic through and through.

Thank you for posting the link Sasha. You are the best.

Thanks Sasha.
I sent Katie a tip about the fake narrative concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
