We all know that with leaders and politicians that have the political will there would be no continuing riots.

Shutting down riots is not an obscure science. Governments across the world shut them down using non-violent means every single day.

This is on the Democrats 100% as they have demonstrated they want the violence, looting and chaos.

I pray the left leaning middle of the road voters punish the hard core leftists for their antics, either by voting for Trump or sitting this one out.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I think I have posted previously about the yard signs displayed in front of a house I drive past every week on my way to the town transfer station. They are obviously hard-core leftists, and the content of the signs (which are hand-scrawled and change week-to-week) clearly demonstrates that they blame Trump for the riots peaceful protests(tm).

A few years back when I lived just outside the CHAZ in Seattle there was suppose to be a confrontation between these two factions a block from my apartments.  The supremacists were a no show so the antifas when ahead and broke windows and vandalized/looted.  Peacefully of course...

"Please stop endangering protestors". That was told to a student journalist who filmed a Seattle rioter smacking a cop in the head with a baseball bat.

Tangent: That's (at least based on the clip) some bad situational awareness by the cops. It appears they left the guy in the back on his own. Also, cops on bicycles is stupid. Might as well be on a Segway or a skateboard.

One of the videos I saw showed 20 or 30 bicycle cops following a protest to keep them moving down a street and moving ahead to block intersections.  I can see the value of it as long as they stay in groups and wear protective gear.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Hopefully they are trolling again, and the police have a successful round up.

I guess the good part about antifa being nothing but an idea is that there is no law against running over ideas with your vehicle.  =D

How many people would tell a random pollster that they don't support antifa who has criminal mobs running around the city? 

Of course, many of these people elected the idiots running the city now.

The antifa candidate is the only one running against Wheeler if I am not mistaken.  No one from the other side of the political spectrum put their hat in the ring.

Lately I've wondered what might happen if a clever leftist mayor could co-opt antifa instead of trying to appease them.  With a cooperative city council, they could de-fund or even disband the police and use antifa as defacto law enforcement in their city.
The about-to-be-elected new mayor of Portland is a strong supporter and self-avowed member of antifa.  We might soon see this scenario play out.
If she attempts to take it to the logical extreme, and if she can get the rest of the city council on board, Portland might become the first openly declared large socialist city in the country.
Could be some interesting times coming for the Rose City.
