I've been a member her FOR YEARS. I THINK LOTS OF THOSE PEOPLE "PROTESTING" are bad folks. like proud boy violent. i say lock them up.

i Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove freedom of speech but these people are beating and wrecking.

it breaks my heart. i have loved down town portland all my life. i cry driving around my city now.
Last week, i had surgery and had to go to St V in Beaverton and i was horrified. Portland looks so awful now. just awful. who are some of those hideous people who are committing the violence? It isn't the moms, teachers, kids, car mechanics, grocery workers, asian folks and black people.

I THINK THEY ARE EVIL TRUMPERS who infiltrated the groups. They are beating up on Portland.

i love offering my opinion and even protesting but these creeps are not protesting. they are destroying mom and pop busionesses. they are hurting innocents in the crowds. I hate them hate them.

i say ......... LOCK THEM UP!!!! 19 YEARS IN THE SLAMMER !!! Get rid of them now.
