Trump's imaginary "War"

[Syne]

You know, it would be nice if all the millions these cities spend on welfare, that allows all these jobless people to protest, riot, and attack law enforcement, would be spent instead on something like... oh, I don't know... having the police actually hold illegal aliens already arrested for crimes for ICE to simply pick up in secured facilities.

Violent Antifa criminals have laid siege to the ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon, for over 100 days.

Every night the encampment of wackos – some dressed as a unicorn or a chicken – blast loud music, engage in anti-government chants over loudspeakers and megaphones, and when they violently clash with law enforcement officers it reverberates around the neighborhood.

Since the protest started on June 2, neighbor Cloud Elvengrail has barely slept. Assaulted and bullied by the Antifa goons, she describes the area as a “war zone” and “terrifying.”

On paper she’s exactly the type of person the mob claim to stand up for: a disabled African-American woman living in a low-income, subsidized apartment complex next to the ICE facility.

“If you’re wealthy and connected, the city is safe for you. If you’re poor, Black, and disabled, or a domestic violence victim, the City’s message to us is clear, ‘You’re on your own,’” Elvengrail said, via a statement from her lawyer.

She has welcomed President Trump’s intervention into the “war ravaged” city, which has included making all Antifa supporters domestic terrorists and sending in 200 National Guard troops.

National Guard troops are there to protect federal agents doing their duly authorized jobs. They can protect the federal agents who can make arrests for destruction of government property and assaults on officers.

Wow..so the protesters to ICE are now all welfare parasites sponging off the government? How did you arrive at that? Or is your hate for any old lefty so intense that you are just blurring the demographics together?

LOL Noise violations by people in strange costumes? Wow...that's really scary. Sounds like a normal party night here in Portland. Certainly calls for military troops to get things under control!

Oh no! Well, causing insomnia is certainly a terrorist act now apparently. Is it even a felony? Hopefully the military can hunt down the loud and vile culprits and...and...well.. make them turn the volume down? Yeah...that will play well on Fox News I'm sure! lol

People with plenty of time to spend protesting. It's not rocket science. 9_9
Wait, demographics? What are you insinuating? @_@

God forbid anyone care about "a disabled African-American woman living in a low-income, subsidized apartment complex" who feels "Assaulted and bullied by the Antifa goons." You also seem to have skimmed over "when they violently clash with law enforcement officers."

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tell KATU News that six people were arrested Tuesday night.

In a statement from Tricia McLaughlin, the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, it says that the six people arrested are facing charges for assaulting law enforcement.

LOL So now all protesters are welfare recipients because they have "time"? How do you know it's the same people every night? Maybe they are retired and receive social security? Maybe they work at day and protest at night? Or maybe you just hate protesters so much you can't distinguish them from your other hated demographic of welfare parasites? You should really get some help. That's alot of hostile projection goin on.

Don't think helping resolve a noise complaint requires sending in federal troops at a cost of several million dollars. We have local police for that. You know...the guys who actually CAN arrest people for crimes instead of just standing around looking clueless. lol

Nah, just the most likely people to have so much free time on their hands.

Again, you're ignoring "when they violently clash with law enforcement officers" and "the six people arrested are facing charges for assaulting law enforcement."

I addressed that. They're called local police and they handle all law enforcement in Portland.. Has been and always will be the case.

Crimes against federal law enforcement officers and property are the purview of federal law enforcement. Hence the title of that article being "Federal agents arrest six protesters outside Portland ICE facility Tuesday night."

That's what happens when leftists politicians don't let the local police do their jobs.

And that requires the deployment of federal troops who can't arrest shit how?

What happens? People get arrested anyway? Doesn't sound like a problem to me.

Can't arrest anyone if your manpower is overwhelmed with rioting crowds.

People get out of hand due to lack of local police presence and require federal law enforcement involvement.

People protesting aren't overwhelming anything. And the manpower is all inside the bldg. Doesn't require any federal troops whatsoever.

Which is performed by the already present ICE agents. No problema. And no need for troops.
