Police, Andy Ngo, and, Antifa Violence in Portland, OR

This past weekend, a quiet, unassuming journalist, Andy Ngo, was roughed-up and badly injured by an Antifa mob in Portland. That was bad enough in itself, but multiple media outlets note that the Portland Police seem to have stood by and let it happen. There have been a number of stories lately about the Portland Police’s passive attitude toward Antifa thugs who bring their brand of “demonstrations” to downtown Portland often. So, the well-known Leftists who run Portland (and Seattle, for that matter), who constantly deplore all sorts of violence, don’t seem to mind this kind of violence.

Well, this particular journalist is fighting back. He has lawyered-up and is planning to sue any and all organizations who contributed to his injuries. More power to him, and may he be successful.

    Interesting. Maybe the neighboring county should simply invade, overthrow the existing government of Portland and intall their own puppet city council. :)

    I’m waiting for the Feds to step in after a declaration of martial law. I’d love to see Trump “pull a Lincoln” and put local governments who refuse to protect their citizens behind bars pending the restoration of peace.

    Then upon release, the Feds supervise new local elections, where the previous politicians are permanently banned from participating.

    Instead of getting the Feds involved can’t the governor declare a state of emergency. Probably Trump could do a better job but the Fed is still a little too heavy handed for me taste.

    If you could depend on the Governor, yes, that would be preferred.  However, I wouldn’t count on it.

    There is hope.  I did see somewhere the police chief is calling for and end to wearing masks to remain anonymous.  I suggest they rip the masks off after they arrest them and take mug shots . . .

    Police departments are having trouble recruiting and maintaining the kind of people they want on the force,

    Baltimore is in a similar situation with what I understand is several hundred vacancies unfilled.

    That story says 90 but I have heard higher numbers.  Also, the search for “diversity” ended in Los Angeles in the “Ramparts Scandal.”

    Given the LA Times politics, that is the Bowderlized version.
