#35  By refusing to follow up on the crime, Mayor Wheeler has placed a death sentence on all Trump supporters who dare enterhis kingdom. There are at least 2 planned rallies within the next 3 weeks.

#31  At some point, people are going to have call Antifa, BLM and those who support fund them "terrorists and act accordingly. Roll up these terrorist networks.

#28  #17-- Ted Wheeler is giving a press conference right now in which he's blaming it all on Trump. You win the coveted Rantburg Psychic of the Day award.

#27  One can't call this killing anything but premeditated murder.

#25  They can’t even get good drugs in #Portland. @tedwheeler come out and share man, this is hard to watch.

Notice they all stood still when the camera was off them, then started doing whatever they could when the camera panned back. Come join the party!

Would you expand on that a bit, bbrewer126? Possibly with a link? My thanks in advance.

#20  Brilliant roundup of tweets, 3dc. Thank you for being on top of this for us, especially in the middle of the night.

#18  The governor, mayor, and city council need to be arrested for dereliction of duty to the citizens of Portland.

#17  What does Wheeler do now?
Blame Trump.
Assemble a praetorian Lightfoot Guard on the QT for his condo and hunker down.
Blame Trump again.
Rinse repeat

#16  You'd think the COIN fanatics at the Pentagon would be straining at the leash to get involved.

Yeah, but on whose side?
Posted by: H-T-A   2020-08-30 10:18  

#15  What does Mayor "Quickly Released Without Bail" Wheeler do now? Are the mostly peaceful BLM protesters going to turn over the shooter, since they almost certainly know who he is? Or: screw that -- what is the 82nd Airborne going to do?

#14  This apparently is what the Trump caravan looked like, heading into Portland yesterday:

#13  Personally owned firearms will soon be found to be the culprit.

Well the pro-abortion folks already believe it's the baby's fault.

#12  At the point where they are shooting it becomes an insurgency. You'd think the COIN fanatics at the Pentagon would be straining at the leash to get involved.

#11  /\ By refusing to stamp out this fire the American state has made sure that the final suppression of the insurrection will be 100x bloodier.

Personally owned firearms will soon be found to be the culprit. Establishing a 'gun free' society will bring all of this unpleasantness to an end.

#10  Doesn't matter who shot whom. This is another day in the open Insurrection that's been going on at a slow burn for months. It's killed over 20 people already

By refusing to stamp out this fire the American state has made sure that the final suppression of the insurrection will be 100x bloodier.

Either the state acts now with overwhelming force, or the dozens of deaths will run into the hundreds

#8  More conflicting stories of what is going on in an insane city.


Posted by: 3dc   2020-08-30 03:13  

#7  Still not clear who shot whom or what.
Posted by: 3dc   2020-08-30 03:06  

#6  Either the FBI and the National Guard quashes this insurrection, or the loyal armed citizenry will.

If Democrats don't stand with POTUS on this issue then they deserve to be crushed at the polls on 11/3. They are aiding insurrection

#2  Slowed/zoom view of what looks like an individual pointing *something* at the victim of tonight's shooting in Portland.

#1  The shooting victim in downtown Portland tonight had a side bag with a "blue lives matter" style flag. Many antifa on social media are celebrating his death, even though his ID is not yet known. The shooting suspect is still at-large.
