    Finally a solid post.

    You do realize antifa is a global movement correct? Its goal is to collapse western/values and capitalism? Nah,

    "But on Saturday, the streets outside the Portland ICE facility remained largely empty in the hours after Trump made his announcement. Two homeless men slept on the sidewalk. A handful of passersby took photographs of the building, and a few talked to each other about how their experiences felt nothing like the “war-ravaged” city described."

    Of course, Portland's not war-ravaged. Trump already calls Blue cities lawless hell-holes. It's just hype and exaggeration to further his agenda.

    Do you? With communication what it is today, is being there in person really necessary?

    First hand knowledge and/or actual hands on experience is preferred to reading about it but you do you. I have two friends who have moved from Portland because it turned from a really great place to live, to a shithole of leftist garbage. Personally I wouldn’t love to have protesters with Molotov cocktails wanting to kill Feds in my town.

    Did you see the video posted on page two with the explanation that “this happens in portland every night?”
    There has been tons of news reports, videos, stories about the violent left in Portland.
    And yeah.. I’m shocked they stayed home right after Trump announces he is calling on the NG. Big shock there.

    So you oppose civil disobedience? Strange what passes for patriotism these days.

    I oppose calling for the murder of Ice agents. I oppose the destruction of property. Strange the violent left is so gang ho for it. Especially right after someone tried to kill Ice agents. And why are they doing these things? Because the last admin opened the borders and let in millions of undocumented illegal immigrants. I wonder if we’d be in this situation if the last admin had followed the laws of our nation and stemmed the unmitigated flow of people crossing our borders instead of villainizing the border patrol as racists on horseback.
    ( hmm much like the left is villainizing ice agents doing their jobs right now…)

    I think civil disobedience is our duty as an American when we think the government isn’t acting the way it should. Do protests get out of hand? of course they do. It amazes me that the protest that got the most out of control in modern history (The January 6th riots) is thought of as a protest that got out of hand but a protest about ice is considered something that should be violently crushed.

    So civil disobedience includes fire bombs and setting fires trying to burn out federal officers? Interesting take but not in the least shocking.

    There are always bad actors and people who use the protest to do wrong. At least these protesters didn’t try to overthrow a fair election.

    Really? Violence is ok. I guess murdering a few federal agents is ok in your book. Oh it’s just a little violence, boys will be boys bullshit. Same type of minimizing, and justifying nonsense we saw after CKs assassination. Shocking you brought up Jan 6. Another timid keyboard hero.
