Sundays in Portland

RESIGN’:
Portland Mayor Blasted For Oblivious Photo Of Him And His Wife
by Amanda Prestigiacomo
August 19, 2019

Hours after traffic-blocking violent rioting and a dozen arrests in Portland, Oregon, the city's mayor posted a photo of himself and his wife strolling peacefully into a market hand-in-hand, using the caption: "Sundays in Portland."

why arent the socially conscious posters on this board up in arms about this sort of behavior? If "Trump!!!" then this thread would be 3 pages already.... When did you realize you had become that which you hate?

Just so we're clear, hundreds of "Proud Boys" from Florida traveled all the way across the country to pick a fight with local residents of Portland Oregon in an attempt to prove they're "domestic terrorists." The Proud Boys have a long history of starting fights and then using edited video clips to get FOX News to decry Antifa as a threat to America. Yeah, we've seen this movie before.

In Subs link the usual suspect Andy Ngo is tweeting all kinds of context free clips and images that supposedly prove antifa is a violent terrorist group. In one example Antifa supposedly attacked an innocent MAGA guy with a hammer. The short video clip clearly shows him throwing the hammer at his torso. https://Twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/11 ... 82785?s=20

What he doesn't tell you is that the hammer originated from the MAGA protester who was swinging it from the bus. https://Twitter.com/drmistercody/status ... 02304?s=20

At some point an ANTIFA guy took it away from him and then "rolls camera" threw it back at him.

In another tweet Andy Ngo says a "man & young girl" who were supposedly just innocent, peaceful protesters, were attacked by the violent mob. https://Twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/11 ... 15139?s=20

What Ngo doesn't tell you is that that little girl is actually a 24 year old woman who is Bianca Turano the notorious daughter of John Turano otherwise known as "Cuck Spartan" who dresses up in Spartan attire and travels across the country to start fights with Liberals. Here he is about to get his ass kicked by a Trump supporter who accuses Turano of being more Antifa than Antifa.

No surprise that subs, our erstwhile "hair fire" specialist, is having his strings pulled by the puppeteers in the idiotic Right Wing propaganda machine.

Par for the course.

subs, are you unhappy that the Mayor didn’t call the Proud Mama’s Boys ‘very fine people’?

Or just chagrined that not enough people paid attention to this sad collection of incels doing their best to show everyone how dysfunctional they are?

clearly you did not read the provided link because
clearly you support Antifa's behavior because
clearly you did not care either way what happened in Portland because
clearly you are as oblivious as the Portland mayor's tweeted pic because
clearly you are just as oblivious.

Clearly you have proven Antifa as the victims and clearly the Portland mayor is doing a great job.

Clearly what I "told ya" was about the Portland Mayor (see also thread title).
Clearly you would rather focus on a more positive supporting role for antifa.

Clearly you feel justified in such violent acts...how long have you been a member of antifa?

Clearly you believe "she had it coming" because of "how she was dressed"...and
Clearly you have video of her starting this particular fight in Portland.

Clearly you are covered from head to toe in atifa butt juice but
Clearly you can support your claim here given the OP which
Clearly only references violence in Portland and
Clearly offers up criticism for the Portland Mayor's "Oblivious" reaction in its wake.
Clearly you support antifa and the mayor of Portland because walking around like an oblivious idiot is now your thing?

I simply noted that in the wake of violence in his city the Mayor had a rather peculiar public reaction...but the whole event and his reaction seems appropriate to some people on this board....you included.

Now subs want's to pretend I'm somehow wrong for fact checking a couple of claims from THE LINK HE PROVIDED because apparently he didn't mean to say he agreed with the LINK HE PROVIDED at all. I proved his source is a lying piece of crap and he should be embarrassed for quoting him.

But this is how he always responds minutes after getting owned. But that's typical of snowflakes who spend their days spreading horse manure anonymously while whining to the mods because someone [deleted]. :lol:

For the record Antifa is a group of morons who tend to fight with MAGA morons because they're anti-fascists. But isn't is strange how Portland only seems to have "Antifa violence" whenever MAGA Hat wearing Proud Boys travel up there for the sole purpose of fighting them?

So you do want the Mayor to call the Proud Mama’s Boys ‘very fine people’?

I don’t think he’s as morally challenged as Trump, so you might be waiting a while.

I was unsure what Subgenius thought. Perhaps the proud boys should have been tossed into the Willamette off the Hawthorne bridge. But then they would have to be fished out of the river, a soppy mess. Perhaps better that didn't happen.

I am inclined to sympathize with the mayor.

by burying your head in the sand?

But just to be clear, you "sympathize" with politicians that react contrary to any compassionate recognition for tragic events in their jurisdiction? or does it solely depend on party affiliation?

I am not aware of any tragic event. Not tossing the whole proud boy crew into the Willamette might be tragic but my second thought remains it is best that that did not happen.
