    I doubt anyone on this thread were members of the riots. I didn't make that assertion.

    I meant the people in the video. Even if they were participating in a protest earlier (just as likely the injured people as the ones committing assault) they weren’t when this nonsense happened.

    No offense, but the Portland protests have been violent all along, so they didn't 'turn' violent.

    Trump and acting DHS sec Wolf were 100% correct to defend the Federal bldg there, and everyone who said otherwise, Portland's mayor included, owe them a public apology (as if that would ever happen).

    They will never fight somebody face to face. They have to come from behind and sucker punch (kick) because they are weak.

    You are making a reasonable point. The press and local officials seem to conflate the two seperate groups of protesters. There are genuine peaceful protest in Portland in which the masses do everything they can to minimize violence. There are also Antifa and anarchist members who infiltrate and co-opt the peaceful marches to deliver mayhem and violence.

    Both sides of the issue are doing everything they can to perpetuate the lie that there is only a single protesting entity. The left is making the assertion that the protests are peaceful, and part of that is true, but it ignores the nightly violence that has been happening for close to three months. The right is stating that the protesters are violent, but this ignores the reality that most protesters are peaceful and protesting with good faith and are just as concerned about the violence as everyone else.

    The local government is clinging to the narrative that the protests are peaceful and it is the police that is causing violence, but the City of Portland has been nurturing and inflaming the violence.

    Given the performance of the courts during these riots I am not sure Trump should bother to defend any courthouses in
    'We Don't Need No Stinking Law' Portland.

    How perfectly appropriate that the psychotic riot rat was wearing a SECURITY vest when he perpetrated his attempted(so far) murder of a defenseless man.

    They insist they don't need the police, and they can self police their own neighborhoods, and maintain their own law and order.

    There it is right there. There's the sort of "security" the citizens of an Antifa-protected neighborhood would enjoy.

    Welcome to the jungle.

    Anyone who finds themselves in a mob that starts to throw rocks at human beings is part of a rock throwing mob, and should run, not walk, away from that mob instantly or remain willingly a part of the mob and be dealt with accordingly.

    In Portland, like most DP ruled Urban Hell Holes, that means that the worst thing that can happen is a brief "catch and release" hassle before you can rejoin your fellow mobsters in the streets.

    When all the citizens of Portland can carry legally concealed handguns without any police interference the street violence will stop immediately.
    Vandalism, looting, arson, and vicious battery can only happen when the people are disarmed and the police enable the violent felons to carry out their attacks without fear of any significant interference.

    You shoot one of the riot rats, and you're probably going to rot in a cage like a mutt at the pound.

    Trying to defend yourself against the riot rats is a fool's errand.

    Retreat is the wise option.

    There are many places in the country where you just plain don't have to deal with the leftist insanity. The best defense is to go to there quick, and don't ever look back.

    Oregon is a "shall issue" concealed carry state, so they can all carry now by filling out some forms.

    So I guess your theory isn't supported here.

    That might be a good point in a thread talking about throwing rocks at cops while in a "mob."

    I have to agree with you on this one. In Portland and Multnomah County, the government is openly siding with violent leftists. You cannot get away with violence or even self defense if you are conservative. If you are liberal, then you can pretty much be as violent as you want.

    https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/20...-da-who-wont-dismiss-gibsons-riot-charge.html

    In the case of Joey Gibson, it is important to know that he didn't commit a fraction of the mayhem that is seen in Portland on a nightly basis, yet he is the only person being charged with riot that the District Attorney is willing to prosecute. This is the video of the incident that caused Joey Gibson's arrest for rioting:



    If getting assaulted is starting a riot, then there is something wrong with democracy in Portland.

    disagree portland has duty to retreat laws, it is not a courtesy.

    he chose to drive thru a riot in a state without stand your ground laws, the rioters remain outstanding criminals nevertheless.

    Oregon is a stand your ground state and is not a duty to retreat state:

    https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/bl...y indicates that Oregon,is no duty to retreat.

    And where would one retreat to in order to be afforded equal protection under the law? Idaho?

    the state is not responsible for his safety, he should have taken personal responsibility.

    he had the luxury of both standing his ground and/or retreating

    If the purpose of a state is not to ensure the liberty, health, safety and welfare of the people, then what is the point of government? Does the United States Constitution allow a state to selectively enforce laws which support the shutting down of the inaliable rights of those who disagree with the ruling party?

    both stand your ground and duty to retreat laws place the burden of safety on the individual.

    Americans do not want a nanny state.

    That's what the victim gets for standing up to a democrat peaceful protestor to protect a transgender female. The "peaceful protestor" even had the gull to try to set up a gofundme page for himself to pay for his defense. He said he was "fighting a racist".
