A little perspective on the Portland protests

[Nevilledog]

The city of Portland is not on fire. It's not facing ruination. This map shows the area of protests

[gratuitous]

1. Ohmigosh!

Another eight miles and my neighborhood is going to be overrun. Well, except for the fact that the cops don't come to my neighborhood. City Hall likes our tax dollars, but they don't like providing any municipal services to us.

2. Do you have a bunker?

3. Maybe they should move away from the Federal buildings.

It just plays into Trump’s smears and there are plenty of other places to go.

4. people on twitter make it sound like a city wide blowout. then again all those

twitter feeds have their own agenda to promote about this

[calimary]

5. Just a tiny segment of downtown.

6. And that's not even the entire city

I live here across the river in Vancouver. It's two city blocks.

7. Who is doing all the vandalizing?

Do you think they are local antifas, or agents provocateurs?

8. Portland residents on twitter have posted photos of the city and it isn't damaged

9. purpose of this ploy is to create a media narrative liberal cities are crime-infested and lawless

sensible Americans can see thru that. The mayors, governors & AGs of these states need to get tougher like PA's AG did and arrest these thugs. What's Barr gonna do? This is an audacious power grab and constitutional violation of states rights. He won't win this one.
