Pulicords I said this exact thing about the fourth night of rioting in Portland. I live in NE Oregon on the Columbia River, and even I see parallels between 1920s-1940s German history and Russian History from both of the Russian Revolutions.

I am not Jewish by faith or birth, but my Savior is, and I pray for our nation nightly. That the acts and words of the people creating the problems to include politicians have their words and deeds heaped upon their heads 1000 times.

Shalom.

A Staggering 50 People Shot, Including 2 Police, In Another Blood-Soaked Chicago Weekend

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...ng-2-police-officers

Yet another consecutive weekend of deadly gun violence has rocked Chicago, as President Trump continues to go after Democrat-run cities with his restore law-and-order emphasis.

The numbers of dead and wounded in Chicago this weekend are staggering, but yet again there's barely a blip in major network coverage, which have opted instead to cover mayhem of a different sort related to ongoing Black Lives Matter protests and "race politics". CBS Channel 2 Chicago reports:

At least 50 people had been shot, and 10 of them had been killed, so far this weekend in Chicago as of Sunday evening.

Among those wounded in shootings this weekend were two police officers, along a suspect whom a third officer shot, in Homan Square. Meanwhile, one man was killed and four others were injured in a mass shooting Sunday at a pancake house dining tent in Morgan Park.

A waitress described of the shock and chaos of the scene: “Everybody started coming running in, and they were in the back in they were shooting. The guys came in the tent and started shooting everybody in the tent,” according to CBS 2.

The tragic incident further begs the question: how is it that a mass shooting in broad daylight goes largely unnoticed on the major networks like CNN or MSNBC?

That really gets me mad. One of my states first red flag actions was against a white power type person, who had committed no crime, filed by the government. Apparently communist junkies get a free pass for violating the law.

Video at link

A counter-protester who pulled a gun during an altercation at a Black Lives Matter protest in Tallahassee, Fla., Saturday evening “was lawfully defending himself” and will not face criminal charges, according to the police department.

The Tallahassee Police Department made the announcement Sunday after reviewing a video from the incident from several sources and other evidence with the State Attorney’s Office.

About 150 Black Lives Matter protesters gathered in front of the Florida Historic Capitol Saturday and blocked traffic by Monroe Street and Apalachee Parkway, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. The protest was organized with “no advance notice to or coordination with TPD to ensure safety,” the police department said in a statement.

“During the protest, a white male entered the crowd and began documenting the protest. That individual was pushed from behind by a white protester, which led to a physical altercation between the individual and several other white males,” Tallahassee Police said. “During the altercation, the individual was knocked to the ground. He got back to his feet and brandished a gun. TPD officers quickly engaged, took the individual into custody, and peacefully dispersed the crowd. There were no reported injuries.

“The evidence confirmed the physical altercation between numerous protestors and that the individual was knocked to the ground and under attack before lawfully defending himself,” the department said, adding that they confirmed that the individual with the gun “was lawfully carrying a concealed weapon as a license holder.”

Police officers at the scene intervened before the altercation escalated. No assault charges have been applied to any of the individuals involved in the fight or the individual with the gun.

It’s unclear what prompted the brawl, but protesters at the scene told the Tallahassee Democrat that the individual who later brandished a gun was a counter-protester and had begun arguing with protesters and taking pictures of their license plates.

One viral cell phone video of the incident showed a crowd of protesters surrounding the individual. A fist-fight then breaks out, and the woman holding the camera in the scuffle screams, “He’s got a gun,” as others run.

The video then shows the individual pointing his gun at a protester who drops to his knees with his hands up. Police officers with their own guns drawn charge at the armed man and tell him to drop his gun before handcuffing him on the ground.

This is (-/+) Chicago's 37th Mass Shooting.

Why does it go unnoticed?

BECAUSE NO ONE GIVES A FUCK

At this point, talking about Chicago Violence is like a bad punch line from an overused joke.

Not only that, some people that can actually think for themselves, and not just exist on the regurgitated dribble that the msm try's to force feeds everyone might come up with the fact that "hey... If black lives matter, why are all the blacks killing and shooting other blacks in Chicago?"

But that question needs to get buried quick!

See, places like Chicago, there's always been an "acceptable" level of things. A level that people will deal with. Corruption, crime, Graf, Bullshit, Lies... And it's even more "acceptable" when it happens over there ----> . Within the past few years, crime is becoming more and more prevalent in the affluent neighborhoods. Shootings, robberies, homicides, did not happen in places like the Gold Coast, River North, Loop. Now, it's happening right on their doorstep.
Then add on the blm protests / riot / looting, and the violence that comes with their bullshit.

Some people are actually waking the hell up.

Very important point. I learned this early growing up in Chicago.

THIS is why supporters of 2A always say, "Enforce existing gun laws. No need to have more".

You make a good point. Why create new, more restrictive gun laws, when you don't enforce existing laws? The reality is, criminals don't obey the law, more restrictive laws will only disarm honest people, which is the liberal goal.

That is the exact point of the drive for more egregious 2A infringement. The globalists want law-abiding Americans disarmed. They don't care if criminals have weapons, and, honestly, may have been counting on it. There is a bigger play here, and it's been in progress for many decades.

My thinking is the Globalists (Dems, RINOs, party doesn't matter) initially viewed the George Floyd protests/rioting as a means to an--their preferred--end. Trump didn't take the Insurrection bait, though.

Then they misjudged when to tap the brakes on their useful idiots and now their bus is careening out of control. Too many of the silent majority who were ambivalent towards 2A issues have awoken. Even center-left folks have suddenly had the scales fall from their eyes.

Maybe I should have said, "...center-left folks I know...". On the other hand, vast swaths of CA, NYC and Chicago seem to me to be more left-left than center-left, so...

The message is if you are going to go into this crap, don't go unarmed and be ready.

Saw Our ‘Hats’ And ‘Hunted Us Down’: Alleged Witness Recounts Fatal Shooting Of Right-Wing Protester In Portland



An alleged witness to the fatal shooting of right-wing protester Aaron Jay Danielson in Portland said he and Danielson were “hunted” by apparent left-wing Antifa members after they were spotted wearing Patriot Prayer hats.

“We’ve got a couple of ’em right here, pull it out, pull it out!” the alleged witness recounted them saying, during an interview posted to YouTube by The Common Sense Conservative on Saturday.

A portion of the interview went viral on Monday after journalist Ian Miles Cheong posted it.

The alleged witness said he believes he and Danielson were targeted because of their hats but also because they were unarmed and alone.

“They executed my partner, they hunted him down, they hunted us down,” he recalled. “They recognized our Patriot Prayer hats.”

E-mailed Statement from Sheriff Roberts, Clackamas County Oregon

On Sunday, August 30th, I read that Governor Kate Brown announced a new plan to address the lawlessness happening in Portland. I was surprised to read that the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office was part of the plan since the Governor’s Office never contacted me.

Had Governor Brown discussed her plan with my office, I would have told her it’s about changing policy not adding resources. Increasing law enforcement resources in Portland will not solve the nightly violence and now, murder.

The only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence. That will require the DA to charge offenders appropriately and a decision by the Multnomah County Presiding Judge not to allow offenders released on their own recognizance, and instead require bail with conditions.

The same offenders are arrested night after night, only to be released by the court and not charged with a crime by the DA’s Office. The next night they are back at it, endangering the lives of law enforcement and the community all over again.

For all of us in law enforcement, keeping our community safe is our first priority. Had Governor Brown asked me, I would have told her that no amount of human resources will stop the “cycle of violence” (her term) that is making Portland unsafe. For that to occur, the criminal justice system will need do its part and hold offenders accountable. .

Statement from the Governor of Oregon, who has obviously taken sides it seems....
https://www.oregon.gov/newsroo...il.aspx?newsid=37211

Salem, OR—Governor Kate Brown today released the details of a unified law enforcement plan to protect free speech and bring violence and arson to an end in Portland. With months of nightly protests stretching the Portland Police Bureau’s resources thin, additional local and state personnel, as well as federal resources, will give the Police Bureau the investigative capacity to arrest and charge those individuals who have engaged in violent or destructive acts and endangered public safety.

“We all must come together—elected officials, community leaders, all of us—to stop the cycle of violence,” said Governor Kate Brown. “But this is only the first step. Real change will come from the hard work to achieve racial justice. And it starts with all of us listening to each other, and working together.

“The right-wing group Patriot Prayer and self-proclaimed militia members drove into downtown Portland last night, armed and looking for a fight. Every Oregonian has the right to freely express their views without fear of deadly violence. I will not allow Patriot Prayer and armed white supremacists to bring more bloodshed to our streets.

“Time and again, from Charlottesville to Kenosha to Portland, we have seen the tragic outcome when armed right-wing vigilantes take matters into their own hands. Gun violence is never, ever the answer."
