No? Then can we stop with the hyperbole and say that our best defense is to support and fortify our like minded family in blue states? Send them notes of encouragement? A gift card for Jesus chicken sandwich? A box of ammo?

Our strongest defense against this foolishness is constant support of each other.

What a horrific case. The perpetrator is a convicted felon (larceny of firearm) who already has two felony charges pending unrelated to this offense. Now imagine that this occurred in Chicago where Kim Fox is State's Attorney or St. Louis where Kim Gardner is Circuit Attorney or any number of jurisdictions with 'progressive', 'reform-minded' prosecutors.

New Portland Prosecutor Won’t Pursue Some Charges Against Protesters

https://www.theepochtimes.com/..._stm_source=smartech


Nightly unrest has taken place in Oregon's largest city since May 28

The prosecutor whose territory includes Portland announced Tuesday his office will not prosecute cases of disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, and interfering with law enforcement officers.

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt claimed the unusual move would lead to a safer community.

Speaking at a press conference, Schmidt said he acknowledges the emotions of those involved in nightly demonstrations, many of which have turned violent.

“These demonstrations are being used to righteously express grief, anger, and frustration over that senseless act of violence, and the countless other abuses people of color have endured throughout history at the hands of the legal system,” he told reporters.

Schmidt said he wants to be responsive to demands from the demonstrators and the new policy on handling protest-related cases is just the start.

Escape in the third degree, harassment, and riot will also not be prosecuted under the policy.

And a deputy district attorney must review any referred charges of resisting arrest or assaulting a public safety officer, with consideration for the “chaos of a protesting environment,” the district attorney’s office said in the announcement of the changes.

Further, when a person is charged with a misdemeanor or felony that only causes financial harm, that person should be offered “conditional dismissal after restitution is paid to the victim or when other amends to the community are made, such as restorative justice with the impacted victim,” the office said.

Crimes in that category include burglary in the second degree, criminal mischief in the second and third degree, and theft in the first, second, or third degree.

“This policy acknowledges that the factors that lead to the commission of criminal activity during a protest are incredible complex. The protesters are angry, yes, deeply frustrated with what they perceive to be structural inequities in our basic social fabrics. And this frustration can escalate to levels that violate the law,” Schmidt told reporters.

“Some of those violations are impermissible by any standard, resulting in physical violence, injury, and worse. Others represent the instinctive reactions of people who have been gassed repeatedly, who have been struck with kinetic-projectile weapons, and who have seen other protesters arrested in ways they deeply disapprove of.”

Schmidt was officially not supposed to take office until next year but was appointed by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown following the retirement of the previous district attorney last month.

Schmidt recently called a self-identified member of Antifa “an old buddy” and shared an interview he gave to the member. Antifa is a far-left, anarcho-communist network deeply involved in the near-nightly violence that has shaken Portland since May, disrupting normal activities in parts of downtown.

Attorney General William Barr recently described Antifa as a “revolutionary group” bent on establishing socialism or communism.

After the city and state reached a deal with the federal government last month, the demonstrators began turning their attention to city and county buildings and nearby residential areas outside the downtown area, primarily in the northern part of the city.

Dozens of people have been arrested in recent weeks on charges including assaulting an officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.

In response to the new policy, Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said police officers prefer not to make arrests at all.

“Committing a crime is different from demonstrating. Some people use the gatherings as an opportunity to commit crimes. The arrests we make often come after hours of damage to private property, disruption of public transit and traffic on public streets, thefts from small businesses, arson, burglary, attacks on members of the community, and attacks against police officers,” he said in a statement.

The Portland Police Bureau will “continue to reach out to all people to connect and build trusting relationships. One of those relationships is with the district attorney, and we will continue to work with that office in the interest of public safety,” he added.

The gathering late Tuesday outside the Penumbra Kelly building, which houses law enforcement offices, was a rare example of a demonstration that didn’t devolve into a riot. Demonstrators milled around the building from 9:40 p.m. until about 1:30 a.m. No arrests were made and there was no police interaction with the crowd, other than an officer and a medic responding when a person fell out of the back of a pickup truck associated with the group.

After rioters tried burning down a police precinct last week, Portland Mayor and Police Commissioner Ted Wheeler said they committed attempted murder and vowed to do everything in his power to crack down on those responsible. Wheeler and Brown, both Democrats, have declined to take President Donald Trump up on his offer to deploy National Guard troops to Portland.

The Portland Police Association (PPA), a police union, hasn’t responded directly to Schmidt’s new policy.

But in a letter last week to the district attorney and Wheeler, PPA President Daryl Turner denounced the rioters, also referencing consecutive attempts to burn down the East Precinct.

“Twice in the last two days, these rioters have accomplished their mission: chaos and destruction. That is because the Police Bureau’s operational direction from the police commissioner and City Council is to let the violence escalate almost to the point of no return, and only then can the Police Bureau intervene. That is insane,” Turner wrote.

“Police should have the latitude to prevent crime, not watch it happen and only intervene after the fact. It does not stop there. Although the Police Bureau has made 21 arrests in those two days, I have no doubt that those arrested will get away with their crimes without any consequence or accountability from the district attorney’s office.”

Turner urged Wheeler not to “handcuff” the police by telling them when to intervene, and for Schmidt to focus on holding rioters responsible for their actions.

“I am disgusted that our city has come to this. If it is acceptable for rioters to commit acts of violence against community members and to try and burn down occupied buildings, and if this conduct is allowed to continue, then Portland is lost,” he wrote.

Why does Trump have to wait until he is re-elected to do this?

The prosecutor enabler is probably the same guy who never spanks his kids and says "oh, they're just acting out."

There was supposed to be a big showdown at Stone Mountain this weekend between the NFAC and several other militia groups and NFAC has announced they are not going to attend.

Well, they got what they demanded and it seems they forgot to pack their lunch.

Dang, they called in sick to a gunfight?

I thought they were "not fucking around". Their very name states this. Now they have to change their name to FAC. That's a problem. They already had t-shirts and toaster cozies made up with the NFAC logo.

Oh, look. A chicken

Would the Military Side with Leftist Tyranny or with America?

Kurt Schlichter | Posted: Aug 13, 2020 12:01 AM

The Democrats are wargaming how to steal the 2020 election, and after Grandpa Badfinger selected Lady Mac (Willie) Brown, their last best hope seems to be the military marching in and removing Donald Trump from the White House after he wins and they refuse to accept the election results. But will the military actually do the bidding of the coterie of Marxist Muppet masters with their fingers, ironically, up inside Joe Biden like he is a crusty, senile Kermit?

Which he is, except the real Mr. Miss Piggy isn’t a manifestly mentally incompetent socialist Trojan Frog.

And don’t even get me started on his veep, Botoxic K.

Between the perma-coup against the American people, the mainstream media’s myriad and shameless lies, and the Democrats’ election fraud agenda (including the Golden Ticket to anarchy that is mail-in voting), it is absolutely clear that the Democrats will not accept Donald Trump’s impending victory. It is also clear that their plan is to sow chaos when they lose, with outright ballot box-stuffing, riots, and endless counts and recounts, so that they can obscure Trump’s win enough to create a patina of fake doubt about the result. Then they will rush into some Hawaiian courtroom and get some Hawaiian judge to announce that the Delaware Basement Crustacean won the election. The idea is to then have a deus ex militaria where somehow the establishment gets reestablished forever at gunpoint. And the liberal elite is said establishment.
CARTOONS | Gary Varvel

But it’s not completely crazy, unfortunately, to consider whether the military, or at least a portion of it, would cooperate in a liberal attempt to seize power. Here’s the troubling truth: the generals will absolutely fall in line with the liberal elite.

“Wait,” the reader asks. “Aren’t generals and majors and stuff conservative?”

Well, in temperament, yes. But they are not conservative in terms of American politics. And for that reason, it is entirely possible, if not likely, that many of them would take the side of the leftist establishment if called upon to resolve a disputed election instead of demurring to the politicians to decide the matter themselves.

Wow. Just writing that is scary. But these are scary times, and we are blessed with what Instapundit Glenn Reynolds tells Americans is “the worst ruling class in your history.” The generals are absolutely a part of that failed caste.

The generals – a term I’ll use to describe the majority of senior active duty officers (Colonel/Captain O6 and up; note that reserve officers have a slightly different perspective, being civilians most of the time) – are creatures of the establishment. Yes, it is absolutely true that many of them showed great courage in battle against foreign enemies and made great personal sacrifices. It is also true that in the culture war they have been entirely AWOL. They are terrified of crossing the establishment by doubting its preferred mores, and that is why they accept every bizarre modern SJW trope regardless of its effect on combat readiness. They will charge a jihadi with a bayonet and wet themselves in the face of an irate Kirsten Gillibrand. It’s weird, but it’s true.

Here, Trump and his populist movement are agents of rapid and disruptive change. The military, in which these generals grew up and which gives them their identities, is the least disruptive institution in American society. The lengthy and laudable tradition of civilian authority over the military, as well as the hierarchical nature of the military itself, makes it instinctively against rapid, disruptive change.

Though the Democrats have moved left, they maintain a headlock on the institutions, and the institutions are what the generals are loyal to even if the leaders of those institutions have morphed into rabidly anti-American aspiring dictators. To embrace Trump and populism is to repudiate the whole establishment hothouse that grew their power and prestige. They would be opposing themselves.

Look at CNN and see the endless parade of fully semi-automatic Obama generals babbling like idiots about how Trump is ruining their sweet gigs, though they don’t put it quite that way. Look at the appalling Chairman of the Joint Chiefs apologizing for following the elected president’s lead. And, especially, look at their horror that America is ending those endless wars.

Those are the generals, and they have the elite’s back, not yours. A general who said “all lives matter” or refused to buy the ridiculous but fashionable notion that America’s greatest strategic threat is the weather a century hence or uttered some other heresy would not be a general much longer – and certainly not cash in on a sweet post-retirement gig at Boeing.

But most Americans don’t see that. Because America remembers the military of 30 years ago that could actually win a war in a reasonable period of time (as we did in Desert Storm), today’s generals benefit from residual respect for yesterday’s Cold War military. Americans are unaware of the devastated culture cultivated by our military senior leadership. Here’s the ruinous legacy of today’s generals: Afghanistan is a disaster and still not won, ships colliding and catching fire due to gross failures of leadership, boats of sailors on tape whimpering as they surrender to the Iranian Navy, senior officers leaking to the media, colonels, generals and admirals getting court-martialed, massive prosecutorial misconduct by JAGs, woke West Point (which recently graduated an open communist), and troops kneeling before rioters. It’s a military that puts Diversity Day before D-Day.

Unfortunately, the first 24 hours of war with China would make the rot agonizingly apparent – at the cost of thousands of our warriors’ precious lives. They’ll deny it, of course, and I fervently hope I’m wrong. But I fear I’m not, because none of the incentives in today’s military are aimed toward achieving combat readiness instead of achieving ideological conformity.

So, count on the active duty generals to fall in line when the New York Times trumpets the Democrats’ line that Trump’s victory is illegitimate. That’s the voice of the people they really take their orders from.

Then what?

Good question, but remember that the military is not just the generals. The military includes the middle-grade and junior officers and non-commissioned officers as well as the enlisted troops. And while the woke poison has spread into these ranks too, there is a real question about whether those leaders, who are where the tank treads meet the road, would follow an order to make war on American citizens.

That’s a harsh way of putting it, but making war is what the military does – it uses fire and maneuver to destroy the enemy, and to the liberal establishment, those of us who refuse to allow the election victory of our candidate to be undone will be the enemy. Intervention by the military necessarily means America forces killing American patriots.

And no, the New York Times’ Marxist newsroom will not be exploding in protests over that domestic use of military force; it will be loudly cheering it.

We know we cannot trust this generation of generals to stand up for freedom, but I’d like to think that a good portion of the troops would refuse to enter civilian politics in favor of the anti-American left. Yet, I would have also liked to think that we’d never see law enforcement officers eagerly obeying the fascist decrees of liberal poohbahs. The sight of overeager Barney Fifes hassling citizens about piehole thongs made it clear that for some people oaths come behind the giddy joy of power and keeping their pensions.

So, the question is, what will our troops do? Will they make war on the American people so that Basement Biden’s puppet masters can turn America into Venezuela 2: The Quickening? Or will they say “No” to imposing a leftist dictatorship, which is what the Democrats’ Revenge Agenda proposes? Our troops are loved in large part because they don’t take a side in domestic politics; if they do, and turn on the people for the benefit of a senile old puppet and the Truancy Avenger, well, that affection evaporates.

Sadly, we cannot rely on the generals to not make the error. Let’s just hope that the danger is mooted because Trump’s margin of victory is so great that the Democrats cannot cheat. ...(Emphasis added)

My "dad" (USA COL, Ret.) has told me for a number of years that any order to suppress the take-over of our government by anarchists would NEVER come from the Generals; it would come from and be organized by mid-line Officers or "long in the tooth" E-7 & -8's. He is very wise...I believe him.

This means he could very likely get probation instead of prison. The official sentencing will be in September. The brother who egged the assault on and filmed it has so far been charged with no crime at all.

This is a travesty of justice and the implication is that felony assault is all but legal if the assailant so much as believes he heard a racial slur. Needless to say reverse the races on this story and the attacker is looking at many years in prison on federal hate crime charges

Okay look. I get it that a lot of people say this is symantics, but Far Right and White Supremacist / White Nationalists is like oil and water.

You can't advocate for total government control over race-based preferences AND be far-right (libertarian, very small or no government).

I know people just toss far-right out there, but this is why right-wing, small government people get lumped in with these dipshits.

Drives me nuts. If you're communists and Marxists, or want the government to segregate by race, you're as left as the day is long. Goddamn Nazis were the biggest white supremacists out there and they weren't far-right, no matter how many times dumbass Europeans say that Nazis were far-right.

Sorry. Terrible derail, I know.

Nazis are also labeled as 'Christian,' when it suits the narrative; specifically, when the msm wants to smear all Christians everywhere by comparing us to Hitler.

The real name of the Nazi party, NSDAP, literally stands for "National Socialist German Workers' Party." The word SOCIALIST is in the name, but the modern socialists try to lump them in with conservatives. Of course, few of the sheep know this, as they don't really teach real history in school anymore. . .

BLM organizer who called looting ‘reparations’ dismisses peaceful protesting

By Lee BrownAugust 13, 2020 | 10:54am

The Chicago Black Lives Matter organizer who justified looting as “reparation” has doubled down — insisting this week that even calling someone a criminal is “based on racism.”

Ariel Atkins told WBEZ that her group “100 percent” supports the violent looters who trashed chunks of the Windy City Monday, again repeating her claim that it is “reparations.”

“The whole idea of criminality is based on racism anyway,” she told the NPR station.

“Because criminality is punishing people for things that they have needed to do to survive or just the way that society has affected them with white supremacist BS,” she said.

At least 13 cops were injured and 100 people arrested in violent clashes that led to a mostly black community in the troubled South Side to kick out a BLM march the next day.

Atkins attacked Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot — who is black — for calling the looting “straight-up felony, criminal conduct.”

“It’s like her deciding what is criminal and what isn’t,” Atkins said as she suggested that calling the thieves criminals was itself a form of racism.

“I will support the looters till the end of the day. If that’s what they need to do in order to eat, then that’s what you’ve got to do to eat,” she said of those who even tried to smash their way into a Ronald McDonald House caring for sick children and their families.

Atkins dismissed the idea that civil rights had “ever gotten wins” from “peaceful protests.”

“Winning has come through revolts. Winning has come through riots,” she said.

“The only people that can undermine our movement are the police, our oppressors, and then us when we don’t believe in the people that we’re fighting with,” she told the station.

“If anyone is attacking this city, it’s them,” she insisted of police.

“And anybody who is rising up and saying, ‘We won’t take this anymore, we’re going to do what we want’ — those are the people that she should be trying to protect, and those are the people that she should be getting outraged for,” she said.

Atkins had no sympathy for the businesses damaged in the spree, which included a small convenience store likely to go out of business after being looted twice in months.

“The fact that anybody gives a s–t about these businesses over what is happening in this city right now and the pain that people are in and the suffering that is taking place, I don’t care,” she admitted.

Poll: Voters Say ‘Growing Level of Violent Protest’ Important to Their Vote in November

Voters support law enforcement cracking down on violent protests with a majority indicating that the “growing level of violent protest” is important to their vote in November, a Rasmussen poll released Thursday found.

The revelation could bode well for President Donald Trump, who has made sweeping efforts to address the chaos in Democrat-run cities such as Portland.

The survey found that 72 percent of likely voters remain concerned about the growing level of violent protests across the country, and 62 percent said the “growing level of violent protest” is important to their vote in November’s election. Over one-third, or 35 percent, indicated that it is “very” important. That sentiment follows President Trump’s vow to end violence in Democrat-run cities like Portland and Chicago, which have experienced surges of violence — hallmarked by vandalism, looting, and other criminal behavior — in recent weeks.

“Look at what’s going on. All run by Democrats. All run by very liberal Democrats. All run really by [the] radical left. We can’t let this happen in the cities,” Trump said, praising federal forces defending federal property in Portland at the time.

“They grab ’em, a lot of people in jail, their leaders, these are anarchists, these are not protesters … these are people who hate our country and we’re not going to let it go forward,” he added.

Trump came under fire from the far left, including several Democrat mayors, over the decision to deploy federal forces in Portland. DHS and Oregon eventually struck a deal to remove federal officers and rely on state and local police. Over a dozen riots have been declared since.

The Rasmussen survey also asked respondents how they feel about police moving to quell the violence — a controversial subject in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, as many BLM activists hold the belief that police institutions are inherently racist and, therefore, the problem.

“Which is closer to your point of view — that police should crack down on the protests to bring them [to] an end, or that the protests should be allowed to continue until the protesters decide to end them?” the survey asked.

Fifty percent of respondents said police should “crack down” on the protests, compared to 38 percent who disagreed and 11 percent who remained unsure. The view on police crackdowns is divided sharply along party lines.

Per Rasmussen:

While 75% of Republicans and a plurality (47%) of unaffiliated voters think the police should crack down on the protests, just 31% of Democrats agree. Fifty-six percent (56%) of Democrats say the protests should be permitted to continue until the protesters want to end them.

Rasmussen Reports conducted the survey August 10-11 among 1,000 likely voters. The margin of error is +/- 3 percent.

Back in 2017, I had a short conversation with a coworker about Antifa (and I suspect that particular guy was/is a member). I pointed out that very fact to him, and he dismissed it outright. "They were fascists, not socialists." For him, all kept coming back to racism being the big problem, not necessarily the mode of government. The same guy was pro-Palestine and didn't see the irony. I gave up trying to understand, or counter their arguments after that. From what I can gather, they aren't really history buffs, and their mental concept of what Nazis were comes straight out of Hollywood and videogames. B.J. Blazkowicz wannabes.

Thanks for the article BBMW, it ties in perfectly with a conversation I just had with my 13 year old daughter. We've been walking together after lunch every day and today we landed on the "BLM" topic.

She was genuinely surprised at the origins, intentions, and practices of BLM. This article (which I just sent her) lays it all bare. It was a good walk today.
