Portland Mayor Gets Tear Gassed

[Mystic Wanderer]

Doesn't this just make your cheeks pucker with glee?   Karma at it's best!

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was tear gassed early Thursday morning while he joined crowds of protesters following several violent clashes between protestors and federal forces.

"It stings. It's hard to breathe. I can tell you with 100% honesty I saw nothing that provoked this response," said Wheeler.

The Trump administration recently sent in federal forces to protect federal property from protesters who have been demonstrating in the Oregon city for more than 50 days.

Wheeler, a Democrat, addressed the forces in the city, saying that he, in addition to other state and local leaders, are opposed to their presence. 

"It is an unconstitutional occupation. The tactics that have been used by our federal officers are abhorrent. They did not act with probable cause, people are not being told, who they are being arrested by, and you're been denied basic constitutional rights," the mayor said to the crowd. 

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, said that Wheeler had communicated to him that the violence and protests in his city had begun dying down and that the use of federal agents has "done nothing but stir that up."

On Wednesday evening, the Portland City Council voted unanimously to end of any cooperation between the Portland Police Bureau and federal agencies charged with protecting federal properties.

The U.S. attorney for Oregon recently called for an investigation into why some protesters had been taken by federal agents without badges and placed in unmarked vehicles.

I'm at a loss for words right now.  Really?!  You don't know why some "protesters" were taken?

And you claim that the federal agents had no identifying badges?

You want to know why they want name badges? They want to dox them so Antifa can go terrorize their families, that's why!

The head of Homeland Security did a press briefing yesterday showing all the identifying patches these federal agents have on their uniforms; that's all that needs to be there to show who they are. He instructed them to remove their names for their own safety. They were replaced with a number of sorts so only the government bureau could identify them. 

I'm sure this video is out there somewhere. I saw it embedded in one of the You Tubers I follow. You can look it up if you wish.

I'll defer to my comments in the last few days. Seeing Right Wingers pumped about the FEDS tear gassing Americans is just like sweet irony (and by irony I mean hypocrisy)   "oh but HeS a DeMoCrAt"    what a trip this has been. 

Gassing Democrats is ok... gotcha.

I would be "pumped" if the "right wingers" were being tear gassed as well if they behaved like this.  The reason you never see them being tear gassed is because they don't behave like thugs.
Only time I've seen anyone on the right get physical at all was when they were being attacked and they acted in self defense.

I've never seen a Conservative Patriot be anything but polite while they march along holding their signs and chanting their message.

No hypocrisy at all.

 that's just not believable. I've watched your comments for years praising anybody with an AK that stands up to Obama's FEMA camps. The joker that "raided" the pizza shop, the Bundy fellas with their militia protests. The problem you all have now is taking like 5 "actually" bad people in Portland and pretending anybody "on the left who hates america" is on board with violent protests and Molotov cocktails. But you know all about that diversion right? If its violent left it must be Soros. If its violent right (ehem....Charlottesville) it must be Soros paid provocateurs 

And I would still praise anyone who stands up to Obama or anyone with FEMA camps.

As for the joker that "raided" Comet Ping Pong, it's been pretty well determined that that person was hired by the owner to come in and start shooting and blame it on a crazy Anon.
Strange the only thing he hit was the owner's computer, eh?  Wonder what he had on there he didn't want discovered?

I'll have to go back and revisit the Bundy story. All I know is, the government was trying to take his land and they fought back and won.

As for five bad people in Portland?  Surely you joke!    

Does this look like five bad people to you?
