Wonder if the protests will be mostly peaceful.

Last night was pretty tame compared to how bad it can get, but it was also a Thursday.

Tonight will be a much better "test."

We the people are tired. It needs to be stopped NOW

SimulationCommander's avatar

And literally tired after watching the protests all night.

Luckily the cops came in the couple times it was getting out of hand. They even enforced the noise ordinance.

Awe shucks...when I skimmed the title, I thought it said Poland Gets In On The Fun. I was thinking maybe they attacked Russia or something. Not that I want to see that happening but it would be much more interesting than reading about another commie city like Portland.

Poland gets in on the fun😅. That made me laugh. Thanks for starting my day with a smile☺️.

I guess these cities want gang members running their cities- these two will be the next version of "they were just trying to help the elderly in their neighborhood" and will see "family" photos posted soon! augh!

You mean like that poor, hapless, "Maryland father" Abrego Garcia? Journalism is broken. It has been to a large degree for a long time but the last 10 years have brought it into sharp relief.

And once again, I am thinking of the book, "The Lord of the Flies."

Decide for yourself which of the 'characters' in today's current events most closely resemble Ralph, Jack, and Piggy.

Think the message should be clear by now. Use your vehicle as a deadly weapon and risk being shot. Pretty simple. Most sane people would roll down the window and say something like "what can I do for you officer?"

A criminal puts the pedal down to attack the Officers and escape. The worthless media tries to paint these events as being the fault of ICE for doing their job of detaining and deporting illegal criminal aliens. Another 80/20 mismatch for the progressive left.

That Multnomah Sheriff sounds like a real winner. “If you’re going to protest, please be nice! And we got your back, lefties!”

Where did you find this guy, Los Angeles?

Ha! Found it! kurt Schlickter TownHall article from 2018. "Why the Democrats Would Lose the Second Civil War too!" Very eye opening! https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2018/03/12/why-democrats-would-lose-the-second-civil-war-too-n2459833

As I've often said, the Left is pushing for a police state, and they may just get one, only it won't be run by them. The first people who will be arrested, are those political leaders, and media hacks, fomenting this violence against the Federal Government. It's called "the insurrection act." Coming to a Leftards city/state near you, soon.

Currently watching protestors scream at Portland police that they're traitors and cowards, and I'm wondering if the police are happy the city's been treating these guys with kid gloves for a decade.

Gen Chang's avatar

Common sense says, No. Time to take the gloves off.

SimulationCommander's avatar

Sadly that's not up to the police.

Gen Chang's avatar

True, but, they may get new leadership sometime in the near future though. Although, most of the cops with a conscience, have left for other, better job opportunities.

SimulationCommander's avatar

Yeah at this point we may have already selected for the officers who side with the protestors.

Brett Hyland's avatar

Citizens of Portland and Oregon, like me, are wholly dependent upon the Trump administration for sanctuary.

SimulationCommander's avatar

Not an ideal situation.

Portland police moving in on protestors blocking the road after somebody abandoned a truck sideways in the road in front of the ICE facility.

SimulationCommander's avatar

This new chant is amazing:

Up, up with reparations!

Down, down with deportations!

douglas conklin's avatar

Rhetorical question …

Reparations for what?

SimulationCommander's avatar

All the slavery in Portland, don't ya know.

Martyn's avatar

At this point it seems like the only reasonable response would be to drag that feckless Portland mayor out into the street for a good old-fashioned curb-stomping, and leave him for the TdA bangers to attend to him.

Time to bring tar and feathering back into style

SimulationCommander's avatar

It's been too long since we've busted out the tar and feathers and it shows.

Nick's avatar

Time to bring in the Rangers. This would be over in less than a day.

This from the Seattle police chief today: https://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2026/01/08/statement-on-immigrations-and-customs-enforcement-arrests-in-north-seattle/

Once again, our "leaders" are making things worse.

SimulationCommander's avatar

Ask me how shocked I am.

(You don't have to because you know the answer.)

The language there isn't restrained either, and there's zero "innocent until proven guilty" wording, just "criminal illegal aliens."

Hot Civil War starting? Are these thugs being supported by an American political party? Who do they really represent?
