Risk of clashes at rally mobilizes Portland, Oregon, police

PORTLAND, Ore. — Aug 13, 2019, 5:59 PM ET


The rally is being organized by a member of the Proud Boys, who have been designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. Others expected include members of the American Guard, the Three Percenters, the Oathkeepers and the Daily Stormers. American Guard is a white nationalist group, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, while the Three Percenters and the Oathkeepers are extremist anti-government militias. The Daily Stormers are neo-Nazis, according to the center.

Portland's fraught history with hate groups adds to the complex dynamic.

Many of today's anti-fascists trace their activist heritage to a group that battled with neo-Nazis in Portland's streets decades ago, and they feel this is the same struggle in a new era, said Randy Blazak, the leading expert on the history of hate groups in Oregon.

White supremacists murdered an Ethiopian man, Mulugeta Seraw, in Portland in 1988. And by the 1990s, Portland was known as Skinhead City because it was the home base of Volksfront, at the time one of the most active neo-Nazi groups in the U.S. As recently as 2007, neo-Nazis attempted to gather in Portland for a three-day skinhead festival.

They're practically doing a countdown here to August 17th.

 

[Snouter]

Dayem, I wish I could be there to beat the **** out of the anti-American savages (antifa or whatever the **** the douchebag terrorists call themselves). The Pacific northwest is awesome and has been stained by savage douchebag nerds who have faced no opposition and actually have had cops stand down per the request of ****** mayors.

Let the mouth-breathers do their little rally, chant a few ignorant chants, and go home. Ignore them.

Counter-protestors don't have to show up. If violence happens, and might well be on them, too.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Hate groups designating hate groups. There's a message there.

 

[sparky]

There's nothing quite like a governance that stays off the radar by keeping it's contingency angry at each other

~S~

 

[OldLady]

Be afraid. Be very afraid (giggle).

 

[sparky]

they look like cartoon characters....~S~

But you know they will.

This is how Germany sees groups like the Proud Boys:

“Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority.” This is the clear mandate in Article 1 of the German Basic Law, in which Germany acknowledges “inviolable and inalienable human rights” as “the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world”.

Germany doesn't allow these pond scum to hold rallies. They don't arrest them, either, for being pond scum, but they don't allow them to voice their opinions PUBLICLY. Have a barbecue in your backyard and say what you like to your friends. Rant and rave in front of your tv.

I like it that respect for human dignity comes before the extreme exercise of an individual right.

That's just me.

I don't recognize their symbols----but the costumes ARE NICE

It will be interesting to see if the Portland Police will be bystanders the way they were when Andy Ngo was assaulted by Antifa.

They SAY they're ready--loaded for bear, as we say in Maine.

 

[JGalt]

So the official function of the Potland PD has been reduced to being security guards for antifa.

I get it.
