| #8 When do we get to call mayors like this "the enemy" rather than pretending we're all on the same side? |

| #7 Yes, the park is federal property. Which is most likely why the organizers have the event there since Mr. Fuckstick and his 1st Portland Brigade of Assclowns would have denied a permit anywhere else. |

| #6 Is the venue federal property? The origianl article doesn't say. Otherwise, does the federal government often deal with permits at local venues? |

| #5 The mayor of Portland, Oregon, on Monday urged U.S. officials and organizers to cancel Some questions occur: Would local federal officials so openly go against their boss, the president? If they did, what odds they would find themslves on the wrong side of President Trump's promise to downsize federal staffing by 20% through hiring freezes, retirements, and attrition? Or, given that this is a federal responsibility, and the feds aren't much interested in the opinions of local politicians, how likely is it that the honourable mayor of Portland is merely posturing for effect? |

| #4 Don't worry about the definition of hate speech. They will tell you what it is and you better not argue with them...not in Portland. |

| #3 And the murders were committed by a Bernie supporter who voted for Jill Stein. A real right-wing loon. NOT. |

| #2 Notice the revoking of permits only applies to those of the opposition - conservatives. The June 4 Antifa event will be allowed to go on as planned. Important to consider that the murders did not take place during any "event" but the Dems moved immediately to impugn and entire ideology, as always. |

| #1 Two things: a) This isn't hate speech (unless we go by the metric that you hate it) b) Even hate speech is protected speech The left will just send Antifa anyway. If they can't control it, they will attempt to intimidate it. |
