The great advanced and progressive city of Portland bring you the following demonstration of kindness during “peaceful protests.”

“Black Lives Matter, you faggot.”
I am suitable impressed. IK do not need to elaborate.
So Cenk Uygur, the racist, anti-Semitic, beastiality fetishist, Leftist with a show named after a genocidal political party, went to Twitter with another one of his insane ideas.
This time, he wanted to recruit people to help overthrow Donald Trump if Trump loses the election and the military doesn’t immediately take him out of office.
(Let’s forget for a moment that’s not how it would work even if Trump refused to step down come Biden’s inauguration.)
Sign Petition: If Donald Trump loses the election and refuses to leave, and the United States military does not remove him from office, I, the undersigned, will personally go to Washington and help remove him from the White House with my fellow Americans. https://t.co/sBmpyfXrWl

Sure, why the fuck not. Let him have his little Young Turk revolutionary fantasy.
There were a number of replies, but this one made me laugh.
Look again. That’s not ammo for something belt-fed with a giggle switch.
That is a box of 300 Win Mag soft point in a cheap elastic cartridge bandoleer that she wants you to think is belt-fed badassery.
Teresa here is a pro-Bernie, socialist, activist trans-woman from Portland.
He also happens to look like an old cat lady.
His last Twitter post about guns was this:
I’m going to infer from this that he is not terribly pro-gun.
The last time I went to Cabela’s, the only ammo they had in stock was hunting ammo in overbore and oddball calibers, e.g., 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, 25-06, 17 Mach 2, etc.
Considering that Teresa here didn’t post a picture of his gun, there is a substantial part of me that suspects that he actually bought a box of hunting ammo and a bandolier at the local sporting goods shop just to take that picture.
I could be wrong, but all the evidence points in the direction of an internet tough guy and not the second coming of Che that he thinks he is.
Arson investigators are asking the public to help identify those responsible for nearly 100 arson fires in Portland over the past two weeks.
According to the list released by the Portland Police Bureau and Portland Fire & Rescue, most of the fires were set in and near downtown. Suspected causes include fireworks and Molotov cocktails. Targets range from offices to vehicles to portable toilets, piles of debris and dumpsters.
The fires being investigated started on May 29, shortly after repeated anti-police violence protests started following the death of African American George Floyd in the custody of the Minneapolis police.
Nearly 100 arson fires in Portland under investigation
100 point of arson fire is not a “peaceful protest” in anybody’s dictionary. Nero and Sherman would be impressed at the firebugs’ dedication.
Should Portland be abandoned or saved from its attackers? No idea. I know that the Feds should only remain vigilant about Federal property. And President Trump should let the city and state officials deal with the problem. It is not like people of Portland will appreciate the effort to pacify the place. Nope, come election time, they will vote for the same local and state idiots and for Biden.
Maybe Antifa already is planning on taking voting precincts to make sure the right6 votes are the only ones allowed…multiple times.
Gardner has decided to play the political/racial card on Mark and Patricia McCloskey and charge them with felony unlawful use of a weapon. There are still some legal maneuvers like the “blind” selection of a judge which will depend on whose’ hand will be in the bingo basket.
When it come with politically/based prosecutions, she need to make absolutely sure se will win even though it may get reversed later on or even thrown out altogether. She needs to deliver to the adoring voting masses because otherwise, not only they will forget her at election time but her enemies will have very sharp knives and will use it.
Angela Corey was the prosecutor who pushed the Martin/Zimmerman trial to occur. When legally he had nothing to stand on she created documentation ( charging affidavit) that forced the trial just to appease the politicians that were pushing for it and the Media supporting it. Evidence was suppressed and poepl guaranteeing the purity of the process were fired.
Zimmerman was nor convicted and even though Angela Corey needed to be investigated and removed, she wasn’t. But come election time, she lost the primary to a young lady running for the first time. Her target audience for the trial forgot about her, Gun owners did not.
What will be the future of Kim Gardner? Same as with the McCloskeys, it may rest at the hands of a jury.
Dearresting:
Attacking law enforcement and stopping them from executing a lawful arrest on a violent suspect.

In the past, this is the sort of thing that would get you thrown in jail or shot. Now it’s just another form of mostly peaceful protesting.
And dutifully wore my mask.
The lady pharmacist had a good chuckle, but at least on lady shopper gave me a “Eff You” look.
Looking at the pic, it the mask looks like a speedo bathing suit failing to contain certain hirsute area of a male untrimmed anatomy.
Another update about te saga of the McCloskeys of St. Louis.
From the AP:
St. Louis couple charged for pulling, waving guns at protest
St. Louis’ top prosecutor on Monday charged a husband and wife with felony unlawful use of a weapon for displaying guns during a racial injustice protest outside their mansion.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who are white, are both personal injury attorneys in their 60s. Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner told The Associated Press that their actions risked creating a violent situation during an otherwise nonviolent protest last month.
“It is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner — that is unlawful in the city of St. Louis,” Gardner said.
Gardner is recommending a diversion program such as community service rather than jail time if the McCloskeys are convicted. Typically, class E felonies could result in up to four years in prison.
Consider that conviction of a felony leads to disbarment, so regardless of the punishment imposed by the court, this will ruin their lives and their ability to make an income.
From the beginning, this has been an entirely political and partisan investigation by Gardner.
She is a radical Leftist who let all the arrested rioters in St. Louis go without prosecution. None of the people who broke down the McCloskeys’ gate and trespassed onto their property were punished.
The Governor has already announced that he would likely pardon the McCloskeys and doubled down on that since charges were announced.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson told “Hannity” on Monday that “without a doubt,” he will pardon Mark and Patricia McCloskey, hours after St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner filed felony charges against them.
Parson, a Republican, said Missouri was one of several states with a “castle doctrine” principle wherein people could protect themselves, their family and/or their property in certain situations.
“Without a doubt, Sean,” he said when asked about a pardon. “I will do everything within the Constitution of the State of Missouri to protect law-abiding citizens and those people are exactly that. They are law-abiding citizens, and they’re being attacked frankly by a political process that’s really unfortunate.”
The Governor is not the only state official coming to the defense of the McCloskeys.
The state Attorney General is jumping into the fray on their behalf.
Citizens shouldn’t be targeted for exercising their #2A right to self-defense
STL prosecutor Kim Gardner is engaged in a political prosecution
As AG I’m entering the case seeking a dismissal & defend all Missourians’ right to protect their lives/property https://t.co/kQLXOAhFIz

Note that both the Governor and AG have quoted Missouri’s castle doctrine.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a state AG rush in to play defense on a citizen’s behalf.
So this is where we stand. The Circuit Attorney of St. Louis versus the Missouri AG and Governor. Will Gardner drop the charges or will she continue this prosection and try to make political hay out of it?
This is also building up to be the greatest victory for gun rights since Heller and McDonald. We are witnessing a state Governor and AG stand up for castle doctrine and the right of the people to stand armed in defense of their lives and property in the face of an angry mob.
We all believed this, but to have it explicitly stated by two of the highest-ranking officials of a state is a clarion.
