Is your State's major cities experiencing extreme protesting over the recent election? (16)
Dragos1: I did not expect it last night but saw on both Twitter and tonight on the news (breaking through my favorite show) that here in Portland we have not just one but several groups protesting the Presidential Election results. It seems there is a group of peaceful protestors that are extremely committed to what they are doing but still obeying certain laws or guidelines. And then there is a Anarchists group that is running around in masks and hiding their faces as they destroy the Downtown areas and even smashing the windshields of vehicles with the drivers and passengers in them. As for the other groups I am just not that up on all the specifics. But listening to the Reporters ( who also were attacked) talking with the chief of police it seems that the police are trying not to get all suited up in the riot gear as to not escalate the situation. But as they said while I was listening it is constantly changing and they have to change the strategy to try and minimize the violence and at the same time protect people and property...property is pretty low on the list right now it seems. I watched several masked individuals with baseball bats just bust up so many storefronts I couldn't believe it. I also know that when the protestors start to make their way to the freeways they are being shutdown...at least the police try to keep them off the freeways it seems.
I know Seattle (the closest large city to us is also having the same issues though I can not say how that is being handled).
so I am curious how many other USA cities are experiencing the same thing (rioting) over this result of the Election.
I saw comments on a U-tube clip that they are paid , usual suspects named , Soros . Both Obama and Trump have spoken about the media inciting the problem . I think they are both correct as the media had built up a high expectation of a Clinton victory . US is in a very touchy situation right now with the rise of BLM owing to a constant number of shootings by police , they don't want to " dress" for the current situation because of past actions and the risk of making things worse . I remember the same sentiment four years ago , he not my president . Fark it all , such a messI know Seattle (the closest large city to us is also having the same issues though I can not say how that is being handled).

On the bright side , If Soros is paying them , it will be the first time some of them have worked for their money

The protesters , teach them work ethics like ; going to work at a regular hour , not being appreciated and taken for granted like the rest of us . Oh I could think of a few more I'm sure .
Not a single reported riot in all of the state of Kentucky.
...though also not reported, I wouldn't rule out any Hatfield & McCoy-type incidences happening somewhere.

I was told some weeks ago that someone's Uncle made a wrong turn on someone's private property by mistake and that owner walked out of his house with a shot gun in hands and their family member did a quick u-turn.
That took place in Kentucky.I was talking to someone here and they were saying that they had not heard of that many protests that were quite this extreme but it is hard to say...even the news seems unreliable. oh well. was just curious.
I haven't heard of any rioting in NJ in reference to the election

During these ongoing protests here in Portland it has been getting so out of hand with violence that they now have in custody some people that decided to shoot some protestors or protestor on the Morrison Bridge. Because here there is what the police have described as "peaceful protestors" but also "Anarchists" that have came out to use this situation to just go rampant and destroy property and hurt people randomly. So now as of today the mayor has said that they are going to have to be more strict in still honoring the right that people have to protest, but if they have not taken the correct steps or if they decide to push their way onto places they are not allowed ( many large groups have went and taken over the freeways and bashed in car windows even with people in the cars) so now they are saying that if you are out and doing the protesting and not staying in line they are going to just take you to jail. But even though they are saying this now there has still been many many arrests because it has just been thousands of protestors moving about the city with no respect at all for innocent bystanders or even other protestors and of course all the vandalism. SO, I am really hoping this will cool off as it is just too much and will not accomplish anything good.
Evidently the protestors here in Portland are still at it and now it is getting very different. At first the Portland Police tried to keep their position on the down low...well, meaning that not full on riot gear. But from the pictures I am seeing now ( I do not go down there )the Police are "gearing up" and made 70 some Arrests and there was also a shooting that has put it at a different level. Here is a link>>>
I just hope that people will not hurt each other and destroy property. And as for "Killing", that is just way over the edge.

I didn't know that...but I don't really follow the media.
as far as I know it is one of those things that seems to change over time in all places... But, it seems that everyone has an idea. ;-}More Threads
