Any idea where that is? If they've stopped targeting police/federal building and are starting fires in random places, they're going to start looking even worse.
It looks like the Multnomah building at 501 SE Hawthorne Blvd. It just looks like some generic county government building but it does have the Multnomah County equivalent to a Probation office in there so that's probably what they're chimping out about this time.Any idea where that is?

Ir's probably legal when the police is doing it.I suppose a riot declaration changes the rules a bit, but I'm a bit surprised this hasn't created more outrage. The news made it a point to let everyone know that the crowds were full of legal observers that would be gumming up municipal courts with civil suits for the next 20 years, yet the rape van keeps getting its tires slashed. What ever happened to all the green hats?

So I didn't see a lot of posting about the Portland protests on 8-18-2020, and I can't say that there was much worth posting about as far as action. That said, I caught the latter three hours or so and all I can say is it was very interesting but not in the usual way, and in my opinion made an extremely strong case given context and actions that the rioters have a top down organization scheme of some sort, and that more importantly that these "activists" can absolutely exert effective control their golems if they want to. More on that at the end.
Since I'm also writing this for search engines to a certain extent, the context for the 18ths protests is primarily that they followed the night where BLM marcher Marquise 'Keese' Love brutally assaulted a white man who's only crime as far as anyone can tell was to defend a crazy tranny from a mob of primarily melanated BLM rioters and MAYBE said something racist at some point, though the source for the latter allegation has no proof other than their word, and I will suggest that their "word" may be compromised.
Streams used (both need FB account to log in, if anyone wants either of them LMK and I can mega them):

Text recap:
When I started watching a significant crowd had gathered in the street near that 7-11 and associated businesses that should be a familiar location for those who have been watching, the PPA building is also near here which seems to be the catalyst for this area. The sequence of events, as best I remember, goes something like this.
Lot of nothing for quite a while, though listen to the background conversation in this audio clip: a pissed neighbor complaining about trash being left behind. For context this conversation takes place right next to a pile of chain link fence segments (more on that later).

Sometime later, some person opposed to the mob who saw the video of the Keese incident spent a few minutes aggressively asking the crowd to stand for love and peace, holding up a peace sign, while being fag nagged by the crowd but as best I could tell nobody assaulted him, though he got a bit of shoving and a couple someones did throw something at him but missed/he blocked respectively. Back to the shoving, I wouldn't classify it as the "usual shoving", where the intent is clearly to push the person to the ground, this seemed to be more aggressive prodding, though I'll note he did lose his hat somewhere. Also the usual suspects tried to block streamers from getting a view of the situation.

This was interrupted by the PPB showing up and forming a line which caused all streamers to divert attention over there the idea being to check out their PPA building. Our girl 44 made an appearance and gives a sweet little smirk to the crowd, but ultimately the cops just stood there and nobody provoked them with projectiles...so they left without incident but popped some smoke for the hell of it as they left (smoke part not clipped, 44 and the streamer's reactions to her are more interesting, trust me).

At some point later a speaker got everyone fired up. Interesting that the speaker says "it look like you got a nice crowd, whoever runnin' it" to which someone eventually responds "nobody's runnin' it" which is ironic considering what happens after this, "and whoever runnin' this crowd, don't sit down" the obese black woman demands.

In line with the negress obesius' wishes, the crowd begins to march eventually, however...some confusion occurs.

Bonus: we need to block the interstate.

Remember that irony I mentioned? Cue Demetria Hester getting on the mic. And staying on the mic. And chanting. Endlessly. This clip comes about 12 minutes after the clips about march confusion. Note the crowd size at about a dozen minutes after Demetria starts.

Demetria continues unabated and eventually someone busts out the hiphop. Note that the following clip occurs a full 25 minutes after the clip above. Note the crowd size and energy.

The dwindling of the crowd continues, we're down to 4 moms, and the streamer is getting saltier. This clip about 7 minutes after the last clip.

Eventually Demetria chants alone, the saltening of the streamer continues.

In the meantime, despite all of this, a chainlink fence barrier constructed from conveniently staged fencing that just happened to be sitting around the corner to protect the dwindling dance party.

Streamer takes a piss to "scope out unfriendlies". Note the large but slightly depleted pile of fence sections, this is the area I mentioned earlier that the angry neighbor conversation occurred near.

That's a lot of clips for a whole lot of no action. So why did I bother?
Because my opinion is Demetria intentionally "killed the energy" for optics purposes and it was pretty obvious to me watching the footage. Ensuring no "fuckups" occurred the night following the Keese situation (and thus a night of potentially new sets of eyes watching) must have been a directive from somewhere because that shit was shut down from the inside and more shockingly the crowd cooperated given how things have gone thusfar.
The sequence is telling:
- They start by marching to the PPA building, set up shop, a bunch of nothing happens (the speaker even calls this out later).
- The police show up to check out the building and...nobody provokes them. That's abnormal in and of itself given this is Portland and is metric based on crowd intent. Usually at least 1 asshole can be counted on to throw something at that range.
- Then a speaker tries to fire up the crowd to get them marching, to applause and a mob consensus, then within a minute the crowd is no longer marching, and a black hole of energy begins with Demetria and doesn't stop until the crowd is functionally dispersed.
Given the optics of the previous night this seems like the simplest explanation; it certainly wasn't for lack of crowd cooperation with the idea of marching, hell they wanted to block the interstate, but it took a minute flat to shut that idea down, and nobody challenged it. Well, challenged it in any meaningful way, the streamer was salty as fuck about it, but outside of private grumblings, nothing.
It will be interesting to see how things go tonight and the following nights. So far we've got a protest with a buttload of kids brought by their parents so I wonder if a short optics blast is order while they wait for people to forget...
The DNC may be a factor now that I think about it, the first night of the DNC being accompanied by "BLM marcher attempts to murder non-aggressive white man" narrative attempting to pop up in the middle of it can't have made some powerful people happy.
During the Democratic primaries, I was working on a theory that the left was feeling outright embarrassed by the black community. They tried out all their liberal policies on blacks before the nationwide rollouts, and it just made life worse for them. Going into the late 90's, they kind of gave up because they ran out of fixes.
I think that's how intersectionality came into prominence. The usual excuses of "blacks aren't the problem, they just need more welfare/benefits/jobs/education/funding" failed for the 40 years after The Great Society. They ran out of excuses, and needed a new one for why liberal policies didn't work in the cities they controlled.
So they came up with "blacks aren't the problem, everything else is racist and oppressing them". At least the Marxists were honest when they were trying class analysis; intersectionality just treats the labelling of any class as the analysis itself.
(Of course those excuses running out also energizes the white supremacist/nationalist arguments we've had in this thread, as well. I directly blame the liberal refusal to debate their own failings, or salvage the non-racial justifications of the approaches, for the rise of the alt-right.)
In that light you can view BLM as the far left counterpoint to the Candace Owens style Blexit movement: a recognition by blacks themselves that they have been abandoned by their traditional political allies. If the liberals aren't going to try any more, blacks want to try something on their own, and the George Floyd incident is the excuse they grabbed to go off. It's not a coincidence this all happened after the Democratic nomination was wrapped up, with everyone patting Biden on the back for getting high black support without even campaigning.
Owens says "try Republicans", BLM says "fuck whitey of any party". And now co-opted BLM says "fuck whitey but also vote for Democratic whiteys". You hate to see it.
(At some point, someone might bother trying to fix the black community from within the black community, instead of pushing an ideological project onto the problem. But that would require treating blacks as people, not as guinea pig test subjects or pet projects that you can grab federal budget to play with.)
LOL Liberia's "emancipated slaves" genocided and enslaved Liberia's indigenous jungle tribes for being "black". The first fucking thing they did was to emulate other colonial powers to "prove" they're in the Big Boys Club.Liberia was alright when it was actually run by the descendants of emancipated slaves. That ended in 1980 when Samuel Doe overthrew that government and within nine years they were in a full civil war
As I said before, we missed our opportunity for RoboCop David Dorn.
We're in the War of the Planet of the Apes phase now. Pandemic (the most weaksauce I ever heard of, but still) + ape violence.But for how long?
Great fucking timing on reenacting the Planet of the Apes now, btw. Europe is going down and now it doesn't even make sense to emigrate to the US anymore. Where the fuck can one even go these days?
Czech Republic seems pretty nice. Compared to the rest of Europe, they have slavic basedness and are generally uncucked, but they don't have the slavic blockheadedness and stupidity going on. They're even in the process of getting something like the 2nd Amendment. Also, it's the only place besides Germany that has tolerable beer (fuck off Belgians, your beer is shite) and their women are awesome.
That's what I think too. They've fallen a ways from over a month ago when they had a coherent target in the Federal Courthouse, the mayor was joining them on the front lines (sure, even they saw through him as the performative faggot that he is but he was at least trying) and the media was feting them as brave freedumb fighters peacefully battling Drumpf's stormtroopers. Now both national and local Democrats and their media sycophants have clearly started to view them as a liability and they're lashing out at anything they can ineffectually while PPB knocks them around and chases them off before they can coalesce into anything remotely effective.As I said before, we missed our opportunity for RoboCop David Dorn.
...I kind of want to see a poster of that, but I think that would be disrespectful.
Someone I know thinks that Antifa is chimping out harder now because they are losing media attention. Makes sense, since the only thing a child throwing a tantrum can think of is to scream more.
That troon?
