    I disagree. Those who show up to your rallies reflects on you. That's what doomed Occupy Wallstreet.

    (Full article at above link)


    Fears of violent protest are rising ahead of this weekend’s rally in Portland, Oregon, by the conservative group Patriot Prayer.
    Almost a year on from the death of the activist Heather Heyer, as she protested a gathering of white nationalists in Virginia, some groups are warning the protest on Saturday risks turning into “another Charlottesville." And as a Trump-era wave of rightwing street protest continues, it is not clear that American cities, or police forces, are willing or able to prevent the violence that accompanies them, some experts and activists say.

    Patriot Prayer was founded by the rightwing Senate candidate Joey Gibson and its stated beliefs are not neo-Nazi or white supremacist. Like the Proud Boys group, with whom Patriot Prayer’s membership often overlaps, Gibson’s positions are best described as conservative Republican, or Trumpian.
    But his critics say his events have attracted white supremacist elements and have frequently brought serious violence to the streets of Portland, and other cities in the region.
    The last Patriot Prayer rally, held on 30 June, was declared a riot by Portland police after counter-protesters and rally-goers exchanged missiles, officers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) fired nonlethal rounds and the march through downtown Portland degenerated into ugly brawls.
    Video from the event shows large groups of rightwing protesters kicking and punching lone, prone counter-protesters. One video, widely shared online by rightwingers, shows the Proud Boy Ethan Nordean flooring an anti-fascist assailant with a single punch. As in previous rallies, Patriot Prayer claimed leftwing provocation.
    In the weeks since that rally Gibson has promised that buses carrying attendees from Washington state to Portland for their “freedom march” will be manned with armed guards. He has also warned that just as at previous Patriot Prayer rallies in the Pacific north-west, participants will be carrying firearms, saying “it’s not a big deal to have guns”, and “we’ve always had guns”. (Not this time, assh*le!



    Mary McCord, a professor and senior litigator at Georgetown University’s Institute for Constitutional Protection and Advocacy, recently authored a report which shows how local authorities can proactively respond to potentially violent protest.
    “There are provisions under Oregon’s law that would allow authorities to prohibit paramilitary conduct,” McCord said, pointing to a statute defining “unlawful paramilitary activity”.
    The first amendment protects speech, MccCord said, but not “violence, threats of violence, and incitement to violence”.
    The second amendment protects the bearing of arms, but “it does not protect the coordinated use of arms”. (Read this line carefully, cons. -

    “You can carry a firearm for personal defence,” McCord says. “But you can’t gather together in groups of two or more and use firearms together in furtherance of a civil disorder.”
    She added that organized use of weapons across state lines may break not only Oregon’s anti-paramilitary laws, but related federal statutes.
    Violence from the violent left you mean.

    For instance:

    http://thepoliticalforums.com/threads/99750-Ugly-bloody-scenes-in-San-Jose-as-protesters-attack-Trump-supporters-outside-rally
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

Too much cognitive dissonance for the left.

    I'm on pretty firm ground by saying that the Rodents on this board can't identify what Nazism is.

    According to the Rodents a simple tax cut law was "extremism".

    Considering that said "extremism" has raised the number of employed workers to 156,000,000, we need MORE right-wing "extremism", not less.

    You mean all those socialists in one spot, with their designated Rape Tents and Porta-Potty Police Cars weren't a success?

    How's Aunty Fa doing with their Bike Lock brainstorming? If they're the heros, why are they hiding like little chicken-dropping muslims in the ME?

    Well, that raises an interesting question...

    ….at many of the rallies the Rodents held for Hillary...only a handful of supporters would show up...not that you could see them because of all the fawning press, but let's not count those traitors.

    What reflection is it upon a presidential candidate when she can't fill a grade school auditorium?

    Attention seekers show up to the places where they know they will get the most attention. Is that so difficult to figure out?
