Bloody
Battle Breaks Out On Portland Streets As Antifa Clashes With "Patriot
Prayer"
14
October, 2018
Hillary Clinton and Maxine Waters have called for incivility and confrontation, and Antifa is happy to oblige.
Street
anarchy and mob violence on American streets is getting
wilder by the day.
The
following videos from Portland, Oregon show a confrontation between
left-wing Antifa members and right-wing Proud Boys as scores of
bystanders look-on. Things
spiraled out of control quickly, prompting Portland police officers
dressed in riot gear to open fire with less-lethal rounds.
As
OregonLive.com reports, the
demonstration billed as a march for "law and order" in the
streets of Portland descended into chaos as rival political factions
broke into bloody
brawls downtown Saturday night.
Members
of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer and their black-clad
adversaries, known as antifa, used
bear spray, bare fists and batons to thrash each other outside
Kelly's Olympian, a popular bar on
Southwest Washington Street.
The
melee ended when riot cops rushed in and fired pepper balls at the
street fighters.

Then Antifa started burning the American flag...

Whoa, Antifa started burning an American flag and a member of the Patriot Prayer and proud boys march ran up and grabbed the flag and ran back to the march.

Antifa
began pepper/bear-spraying the proud boys...

The Police finally moved in...

But
not everyone managed to get their punch in...
As
The American Mirror reports, Patriot
Prayer is advocating for the removal of Mayor Tim Wheeler, who has
defended the actions of his police department, which stood down as
agitators blocked traffic and intimidated residents this week.
Antifa, apparently, is backing the mayor.
The
Washington Times reports that Wheeler
stands by his decision to allow Antifa mob rule in his city by
ordering the police to stand-down:
“I was appalled by what I saw in the video, but I support the Portland Police Bureau’s decision not to intervene,” he said at a Friday press conference. “This whole incident will be investigated.”
Even
so, Mr.
Wheeler insisted
that “motorists should feel completely safe coming into
downtown Portland.”
Mr.
Wheeler,
who also holds the title of police commissioner, took a swipe at
recent unflattering news coverage, such as a Fox News story
headlined, “Mob rule? Leftist protesters take
over Portland street.”
“I’m willing to take criticism all day long from Fox News,” he said. “But I’m not willing to accept criticism from Fox News of the men and women of the Portland Police Bureau.”
The
mayor argued that law enforcement is in a no-win situation.
“This is the story of Goldilocks and the two bears. The porridge is either too hot or it’s too cold,” Mr. Wheeler told reporters. “At any given moment in this city, the police are criticized for being heavy-handed and intervening too quickly, or they’re being criticized for being standoffish and not intervening quickly enough.”
Doing
something to protect the tax-paying citizens who fund your entire
career seems like a place to start, rather than worry about the
political optics of any intervention.
We
leave it to James Woods to sum things up: "THIS IS THE NEW
AMERICA":
It was “her turn,” and if she can’t have her way, she’ll just burn the house to the ground. #HillaryGoesNuts
