I hope that there are cameras, I wish that they could identify everyone of them.
The gentleman with the paint gun, wonder what he would have done if the person in the truck has mistakenly believed that he had a real gun, and shot him.
I wonder, does this mean we as citizens no longer have the right to protect our property?

Far right extremists in Portland, Oregon opening fire on anti-fascist counter-demonstrators. Looking forward to how the contrarian reactionaries spin this one.

I think a lot of Portland cops are closet proud boys.
