Not only are the left a mob, their dear leaders are enabling it

Portland mayor stands by decision to allow Antifa to block traffic, hassle motorists.

Washington Times-

…video posted by journalist Andy C. Ngo showed protesters, including members of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, blocking an intersection and attempting to direct traffic at while officers on motorcycle watched from a block away.

At one point, the activists chased down 74-year-old Kent Houser after he made a right turn against their wishes, pounding on his silver Lexus and breaking a window. The car sustained thousands of dollars in damage, he told the Oregonian.

Even so, Mr. Wheeler insisted that “motorists should feel completely safe coming into downtown Portland.”
Demonstrators did not obtain a permit before holding the Oct. 6 march to protest the death of Patrick Kimmons, a 27-year-old black man who was shot and killed Sept. 30 by police.

Mr. Wheeler, who also holds the title of police commissioner, took a swipe at recent unflattering news coverage, such as a Fox News story headlined, “Mob rule? Leftist protesters take over Portland street.”

“I’m willing to take criticism all day long from Fox News,” he said. “But I’m not willing to accept criticism from Fox News of the men and women of the Portland Police Bureau.”

The mayor argued that law enforcement is in a no-win situation.

“This is the story of Goldilocks and the two bears. The porridge is either too hot or it’s too cold,” Mr. Wheeler told reporters. “At any given moment in this city, the police are criticized for being heavy-handed and intervening too quickly, or they’re being criticized for being standoffish and not intervening quickly enough.”

1snip!

No win?

How about not siding with the LAWLESS!!??!!

  1. Voters who don’t like mayor’s inability to enforce laws have the option of not voting for him in the next election. Also they might try calling the State Police, if the local police can’t do the job they’re paid to do.

  2. This is how a civilization dies. When the crazies try and tell us that the insane is normal. What does amaze me is that there are so many abnormals running loose and we refrain from mocking them and locking them up.

  3. Actually it’s Goldilocks and the three bears, Mr. Mayor. You see, the third choice, either in porridge or beds, was juuuust right. Applied to Portland Mr. Mayor, the story you referred to suggests that you and Mr. Wheeler, need to be eaten by bears.

  4. He certainly sent the police in when the other side showed up though. When nobody was fighting back to the terrorism the police could just sit back and watch. When folks starting fighting back, couldn’t have antifa getting their asses kicked.

  5. An old “War Story” that took place in NoCal 55 years ago. A goon named Mario Savio had a gang of thugs the patrolled Bancroft Way. (For Easterners – the St. bordering the U.C) “The Party” supplied Mario’s thugs with “FUCK” placards. This gang used their “FUCK” placards to brutally, viciously beat anyone patriotic enough to say “America is the best country on earth!”! Mario sent many to the clinic with bloodied heads!
    the Press (MSM today) was just as crooked 60 years ago as they are today. they called Mario’s savage attacks “Peaceful Protests”?@#!?%!#

    Progressives have been violent in America for 60 years! Still are!
    But the MSM CALLS THE BARBARIC FOLK “DEMONSTRATORS”!?!?#!?%$#!
    Nothing has changed in 60 years EXCEPT (and this is big) there are real news sources available to those who car today, not so in 63! I am typing at a real “news” source.

  6. Conservatives have had ample time to head the warning signs and move from the cities. Get the HELL out now if you haven’t already. Then who cares if the socialists tear apart their own abode. We’ll just stand back and laugh.

  7. I haven’t been to that communist shithole since 08 and the only reason I went then was to meet up with other IOTW alumni,and of course I was armed too! SAT CONG…Foreign and Domestic!

  8. What still amazes me is that BLM
    can be proven to be a 101% abject lie
    & fabrication.Yet you have MoronZombies
    that have dedicated their life to the lie…
    There is no way you can use logic,reason,common sense
    on these people.You can’t even talk to them without
    them just shouting over you.What comes next involves
    clubs,sticks,rocks,chains,then cars & guns…

  9. Yep, Mr. Burr, I was wondering what happened to the “just right bear” also.

    I have not followed this closely, but I do not understand why antifa and BLM are excited about directing Portland’s traffic. What is the point?

  10. Seems like it might be faster and simpler if they just arranged chairs into lanes in elementary schools and ordered the kids around as an afternoon game….?

    Less danger, property damage, etc. Oh well. I suppose not. ….Lady in Red

  11. Look, it’s bears or we mutilate another childhood fairy tale in order to fight this.

    I dunno’, we could send a bunch of woodsmen with axes or some of the queens huntsmen…. bears just seem cheaper and more eco-friendly.

  12. There is no way, no how I will ever go to Portland again ever. If I want to go to the Oregon coast I’ll cross the Columbia River from Wash. to Astoria and go South from there. Eastern Oregon especially around the Wallowa Valley is beautiful and some of the best country in the entire USA. It’s too bad we hosed Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce Indians out of their native homeland back in the 1870’s and gave them a crap reservation up around Nespelem, Wa. on the Colville Indian Reservation. I just finished reading a great book called Thunder In The Mountains about the Nez Perce Indian war by Daniel J. Sharfstein, I highly recommend it.

  13. I’m not sure what the Oregon law is, but after seeing the video, and the man stepped out of his car to inspect the damage, a handful of them came running his way. I would think that he was in fear for his life and had every right to stop the threat, if he was armed. I believe I would take my chances in court.

  14. These people — elected people like this mayor (and unelected bureaucrats) are the ones VDH warned about. He said the idiot anti-fa’s are easily dispatched. It’s the gov’t officials who condone and protect anti-fa behavior we should be going after. It’ll take a class suit charging them with dereliction of duty. That’s the only reason we have a gov’t — to serve and protect citizens. If they aren’t doing their jobs and doing the exact opposite, we have a case against them.

  15. AA, I think citizens should start suing all city public officials, including the police. I get they’re ordered to stand down, however they should ban together and tell them they’re doing their job whether they like it or not.

    Once upon a time I believed like Anon above and thought folks should just get the hell away from progressive shitholes. I have a different opinion now as I see progressives move into red states and try to bring their progressive bullshit with them. We can’t keep trying to move away from them and instead need to start standing and fighting them with all means possible.
