Huge Portland protest crowds, standoff with feds go on

By Gi llian Flaccus and Sara Cline

Thousands of people gathered in Portland streets for another night of protests Friday, the same day a U.S. judge denied Oregon’s request to restrict federal agents’ actions when they arrest people during chaotic demonstrations that have roiled the city and pitted local officials against the Trump administration.............Among various organized groups, including Healthcare Workers Protest, Teachers against Tyrants, Lawyers for Black Lives and the “Wall of Moms,” was Portland Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, who spoke to protesters outside the Justice Center.........

The Federal agents, deployed by President Donald Trump to tamp down the unrest, have arrested dozens during nightly demonstrations against racial injustice that often turn violent. Democratic leaders in Oregon say federal intervention has worsened the two-month crisis, and the state attorney general sued to allege that some people had been whisked off the streets in unmarked vehicles...........

Protesters in Portland have been targeting the federal courthouse, setting fires outside and vandalizing the building that U.S. authorities say they have a duty to protect. Federal agents have used tear gas, less-lethal ammunition that left one person critically injured and other force to scatter protesters..........To Read More....

My Take - One of the things these people fail to highlight, not passingly mention, but highlight in these articles is whether or not the people being arrested by federal agents committed crimes.   People who the local law enforcement refuse to arrest or even protect property and people against they're attacking.  And yes, they have committed crimes.   And if that's true, and it is, does it matter how they're "whisked away"?  

As for the "critically injured" person:  Why aren't they asking why that person was there and what was he up to?  Well, it shouldn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that person was rioting.   A rioter is defined as someone who takes part in a "violent" public disturbance. 

And I'm supposed to bleed all over myself because a rioter was hurt?  Why is it violence is just fine and dandy with these lunatics and their leftist political enablers are violently destroying property and attacking innocent people, but violence in defending either or both is evil? 

Because leftists are insane.
