Antifa and Proud Boys Violence in Portland

By Doug Watt

| July 3, 2019

The Portland Police Bureau issued, I’ll call it a travel advisory, warning residents of the Portland Metro area that Antifa and the Proud Boys were going to demonstrate in downtown Portland last week. To no one’s surprise, there were violent clashes between the two groups. They both claim the high ground when it comes to virtue but, in reality, they are no more virtuous than tavern brawlers that have forsaken the tavern for fighting in the streets.

The Portland City Council, including the Mayor, have no idea on what to do about this public safety problem, other than to blame the police for being too tough or not tough enough when these two street gangs meet downtown. The media is no different in playing the blame game.

Border Patrol agents have it tough enough: a huge increase in migrants coming from Central America, demands of their time to provide medical transportation, and babysitting. Oh yes, and law enforcement.

But one professor thinks that they need to be chastised for the role they play on the southern border. Kate Cronin-Furman, a professor of University College London, insisted in a New York Times op-ed that she doesn’t want to dox the Border Patrol agents. She only wants to embarrass them into leaving their jobs, by collecting and using the information that is available from immigration lawyers and journalists:
