How to end Antifa violence

As we all know a gay journalist was recently targeted and beaten by fascists in Portland as the Police stood by and did nothing. We don’t know if he was beaten because is gay, Asian, conservative or all of the above. The assailants were caught on video but remain unidentified. Why? Because they had their faces covered so that they could commit vandalism and assault without being recognized.

So why hasn’t the idiot mayor of Portland stopped this? Because he’s an idiot that’s why. Antifa has proven over an over again that they cannot be trusted to have a demonstration with their faces covered. They do this so they can commit crimes without repercussion. Simply tell them that if they want to demonstrate, they cannot hide behind a mask. It’s such a simple solution. Liberals are certainly not bright enough to think of it.

The “optics” of masked protesters anywhere will cause far more anxiety than global temperature or plastic bags and straws.

So you agree? Antifa has proven that they cannot be trusted wearing masks?

This is a good place to start. I don’t like any public face coverings. It is an instinctive reaction to obvious bad intention.

So you are opposed to the 1st Amendment then? I only ask because twice the SCOTUS has ruled that people can wear whatever clothing they want in public as its covered by the 1st, and that includes covering your face.

So, basically, the OP is blaming the mayor for following the constitution?

No. I’m opposed to gay bashing. It has limits. Try wearing a mask in an airport. The fascists criminals have forfeited their right to reman anonymous. Agreed?

No you couldn’t be more confused. You should ask questions before posting any lame assed assumptions. Fair enough?

I am confused. Doesn’t a question mark indicate it’s a question?

Antifa has demonstrated enough times that their behavior gets out of hand.

Let them wear their masks. But when Antifa has a protest, have scads of cops ready to intervene if needed.

A typical lib tactic is to make a suggestive statement, but punctuate it with a question mark.

“Oh, I didn’t actually SAY that. I asked a question, dontchaknow…”

Why yes, Yes it does.

So obviously, how Portland has handled these fascists has been a dismal failure. There is violence nearly every time. How would you reduce the violence if you were in charge?

Depends on the airport.

All of them allow surgical masks.

Class D and below you could easily as wear a full mask, although people would probably look at your funny.

Tell people to stay away from them.

This. I don’t want to live in a country where the government tells me what I can and can’t wear on my head on a public street.

Good old fashioned law and order enforcement would do the trick! Enforcing laws and insuring the safety of citizens is not a high priority for liberal leftist Democrat politicians who are getting worse as evidenced by the conga line of Democrat clowns running for President demonizing Border Patrol, ICE and local law enforcement relentlessly, they advocate anarchy, chaos and violence!

It’s the toxic poison of the previous Administration and current day socialist Democrats.

Kind of like creating a mini no go zone? Tell people, including the media that the fascists will be having a mini Kristallnacht and people need to let them do it unmolested. Interesting. Just give up and turn certain areas over to the fascists. As long as they are only destroying liberal cites such as Portland, maybe.

I don’t know about you but I don’t typically go walking into demonstrations, I’ve got better things to do.

Fact is if a group is demonstrating and they have a lawful permit to do it then there isn’t anything you can do except arrest individuals who run afoul of the law.
