100s of armed trumpers riot at closed OR leg mtg; SMASH GLASS DOOR TO CAPITOL

while Oregon State Police do nothing but pip their sirens from afar



?s=20



The Special Session of the Oregon Leg is closed for safety. Capitol is on lockdown.

Special Session is for wildfire and COVID relief.

Oregon State Police and Salem Police stand by and do nothing while heavily armed trumpers brandish loaded weapons, surround the building and smash the front door in.

I guess if you're white, you can break into building at-will and without consequence.

This is shameful the Oregon police stood by and let this happen. Everyone of these vandals should have been arrested.

Why isn’t fox broadcasting this shameful act? These are fascists.

They shot pepper balls at the idiots trying to breach. They shot one asshole in the hand.

Granted, there would have been live ammunition and massive violence had the protestors been Black or leftists, but you can't say that police did nothing.

They are like rabid dogs but armed.

Our country is over run with narcissists dark triad personalities. There is no cure for people who have this type of personality.

Like the ones in law "enforcement" that kept their distance to LIHOP.

Real law enforcement prosecutors will move on them on behalf of the people of the state.

That should be considered an armed insurrection.

It seems like Oregon is too far north to be regarded as a banana republic.

Why is the govt. habitually reluctant to call things what they are. The Bundy group takeover of the wildlife center was, as well.
