The Portland protests of the last 60 nights have burned no buildings (they shot off some retail fireworks on the courthouse steps, which suddenly becomes "arson"), they have fired no shots at anyone I'm aware of. They sing, smoke weed, dance, light fires, grill ribs, play drums, apply a metric ton of paint as graffiti, and frankly don't hurt anyone at all. And they get tear gassed every night (seriously: every single night), because people like you want to conflate every single incidence of violence with a single movement.

While most of the Portland protesters have been peaceful, a minority of violent rioters have injured several federal officers. https://apnews.com/1dd1bb39093a3691f4e78093787ab877 https://apnews.com/1dd1bb39093a3691f4e78093787ab877 There is no "single movement". There are a variety of movements participating in the protests with a wide range of different goals.

  The only evidence for federal officers being injured in Portland comes from a high level DHS press conference. If this were a violent confrontation, wouldn't some of the literally thousands of cameras turned on it be turning up something... violent? I don't doubt that a few cops have turned ankles or suffered equipment mishaps in an environtment like this, but I'll want to see actual evidence and not a talking head before I believe that a "violent rioter" did it with a weapon or whatever. I mean, if you just want to count physical injuries, there's a kid still in the hospital who took an impact munition to the face. I'll say it again: there are effectively no "violent rioters" in Portland. There are a bunch of people like you citing other stuff as indirect evidence that the violent rioters must be there. There are no shots of riots. You don't find that strange?

Americans don't want to live in a country where a violent mob attacks a federal courthouse every single night. The original "cause" was police reform and justice for people unfairly killed by the police. That's gone by the wayside now. The "protesters" you so readily defend have maimed and blinded multiple police officers. How you people still believe you're going to be on the right side of history is beyond me. I'm not sure you're capable of rational thought. I'm not "conflating a single incidence of violence" with a single movement. You're sitting here pretending BLM/Antifa hasn't already murdered multiple children during their violent riots. How many more people will the commies kill before the useful idiots abandon them?

  Sorry, which cop in Portland got maimed, and who got blinded? Who were the Portland kids who got killed? Those claims are genuinely new to me.

  > Americans don't want to live in a country where a violent mob attacks a federal courthouse every single night. No obviously they want to live in a country where state sponsored terror squads carry out extrajudicial executions with no consequence.
