How come right wing groups can never organize protests without violence from the other side?

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Two opposing protest groups -- Patriot Prayer and antifa -- clashed in downtown Portland Saturday, CBS Portland affiliate KOIN reports. Portland police said failure to leave the area could leave to arrests, calling the demonstration a riot.

More than 100 members of Patriot Prayer group gathered at Terry Schrunk Plaza for a "freedom rally," while more than 100 counter protesters with an antifa group gathered across the street at Chapman Square for rallies before a march. Police revoked Patriot Prayer's permit for the rally after the two groups began to clash.

• Portland's racist past smolders beneath the surface

People were lighting firecrackers and smoke bombs in the crowd while police used flash bangs in an effort to disperse the clashing protesters. Police tweeted Saturday night they used "aerial distractions" and not tear gas.

Portland Police have used aerial distraction devices in today's protest. Portland Police have not used tear gas as some are reporting.

Patroit Prayer organizer Joey Gibson told KOIN the clashes "good in terms that we showed that there's a political move right now to have the police stand down in order to impact free speech in some of these big cities."

"Portland's the last city on the West Coast that's doing that, so we just have to keep hitting it -- I don't see what else to do other than that," Gibson said. "We'll make Portland so ugly in terms of how they allow these protesters to charge us when we have a permit. The police stood down, we were told they would not stand down, so we have to challenge it."

A group called Eugene Antifa created a Facebook event called "Defend PDX: Patriot Prayer's violence must end"

"It is very important that antifascists keep up the pressure so that we can stop them once and for all," the Facebook page says.

Portland police told KOIN there would be "significant law enforcement precense" downtown. KOIN reports that police were already dressed in riot gear before the 4 p.m. start time.

The protest was similar to June 3 demonstrations near City Hall in Portland, Oregon, which led to four arrests after clashes between right-wing groups and antifa.

Thousands of people protested earlier Saturday against the the Trump administration's family separations and across the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington. Hundreds of rallies were held nationwide to protest President Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, blasted Mr. Trump's immigration policies and asked the crowd what score the president would get for his zero tolerance policy. The crowd shouted back, "Zero!"

Does this look like Portland, Oregon or some shit-hole country during a revolution?

Left wing groups are always organizing protests without any violent resistance from the right, but as soon as a right wing group does the same there is inevitably riots. People are having riots over essentially nothing, what exactly is there to riot about? At least in shit hole countries they riot because they are under a brutal dictatorship.

I think this goes to show how much influence the media (not just MSM) has today. America is about as good as it has been for decades (regardless of who you think caused it be so or not), yet we are getting scenes out of a Stygian dystopia.

I’m not saying there’s a correlation between having a lower IQ and a shorter temper, but there’s a correlation between having a low IQ and a short temper.

American ''riots''. You guys are the most violent and criminal people in the western world.
But you couldn't organize a good riot if your life depended on it.

Those dudes show up with helmets or costumes like its Halloween.
And for some reason, women are part of it as well.

Pathetic

The helmets are probably because they are expecting to get sucker-punched/crowbarred to the head.

Women are there because they think they are indoctrinated by feminism to think that they are some badass movie woman who can kick men's ass because feminism.

And remember that these people are literally rioting over nothing.

@IngaVovchanchyn this is kind of what I was talking about in that other thread. Feminism has indoctrinated women to think they can kick men's ass, because of movies? Lol. What in the world?

 

[tkotom]

The idea of being a leftist in current America is increasingly meaning that you're someone who for example, likes free everything.

I can see a correlation between that type of juvenile entitlement to riots in the streets.

These riots happen 20 years ago a woman wouldn't be found anywhere near them. Wonder what has changed in the past few years to make that happen...

 

[Factory]

just let them. the left went full progressive and loses the center vote. From a political point of view, they are done. They don't have a real political agenda. It's all about hating Trump and manipulating language. They call you nazi, homophobic and even murderer if you disagree with them.

Only an angry mob will remain, sad.

You're acting surprised that a lot of women are arrogant when it comes to their behaviour towards men?

Have you seen the thousands of videos where women strike men, while knowing full well that the man won't hit them back?

No, they have the helmets because they are pussies.
Imagine showing up to a hooligan fight or a proper riot with a fucking helmet.
You would get your ass beat from your own guys immediately.

I think you have so many women because a female has a good chance of winning a fight against the average American male.
And remember people riot in soccer on a weekly basis. So those politics seems a lot more significant.

Radical leftists are more prone to fits of rage, and other emotional outbursts.

The biggest problem with people who find themselves as a part of the "snowflake-safespace" culture, is that they never learn to properly manage their own emotions.

This is why modern leftism's activists are more likely to engage in destructive behavior.

All of these people are scumbags. LOL @ blaming this all on the left wing derps.

Additionally, I challenge your assertion TS.

Former Grissom High School teacher in custody after pulling out a gun at Huntsville immigration policy protest

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- A former Huntsville City Schools teacher is in custody after police said he pulled out a gun at a protest in Big Spring Park.

"He pulled out a gun. I saw him holding it out in front of him. We just started screaming for everybody to drop to the ground," said Ava Caldwell, a rally organizer. "We all dropped to the ground crying."

Are you implying that in the last 20 years, movies have suddenly convinced women they can beat up men? Then somehow attaching that nonsense to feminism?

This is just a bizarre claim. Do you want me to make a list of like 50 movies in which women beat up men prior to the last 20 years?

You're acting surprised that a lot of women are arrogant when it comes to their behaviour towards men?

And this post has absolutely nothing to do with anything that's been said by myself or anybody else.

Yeah but there are hundreds of peaceful leftist protests all the time (also in the article it says no shots were fired and one was hurt). Whenever there is a right wing protest it is more often met with violence.

One person brandishing a firearm in an inappropriate way =/= mob violence.

Nice try at a thread derail though!

Dude pointed a gun at people and told them to get on the ground. That's pretty fucked. Luckily he was apprehended before he was able to do any real harm.

Are you willing, even for a second, to consider the nature of the peaceful "leftists" protests that you are referring to and compare them to Proud Boyz and Patriot Prayerz? Lol.

If a bunch of lunatics spewing hate show up to march in the streets (in riot gear, lol), there's a pretty good chance they are going to attract a bunch of other lunatics spewing hate. This is not exactly shocking or unpredictable. They go there to start fights, and then they get in fights. The entire video you posted is a bunch of asshats and losers who have nothing better to do than live in some fantasy world where their demented ideologies really matter.

I didn't even say movies caused them to think that way. I said that feminism caused them to think they are some badass movie chick who can kick ass and take names.

You're concluding that it's always the counter protesters that start the violence. If a certain group always finds themselves in violent altercations every time they meet in public, is it fair to say that they may be the problem?
