US authorities say 18 Portland protesters face federal charges [Jpost] The US Justice Department on Friday said it has arrested 18 people and charged them for alleged crimes committed during recent anti-racism protests in Portland. In a statement, the department said all 18 had made a first appearance in federal court and were released pending jury trials or other court proceedings.Billy Williams, the Portland United States Attorney, said that five people were charged for allegedly committing crimes including assaulting a federal officer, trespassing and creating a disturbance during protests on the night of July 20-21. Prosecutors said that seven people have been charged in connection with criminal conduct during a July 21-22 night protest. Another six were charged for their alleged actions in protests during the night of July 22-23. The federal government has deployed teams of specially equipped agents to the Portland protests, drawing criticism from Democrats and civil liberties groups over excessive force and federal overreach by the Trump administration. |

#20 How many would be willing to give up their salaries and pensions, and their authority to arrest normies for not wearing masks and failing to pick up dog poo? Probably no more than 20%%. If that. |

#17 The Federal Court in Portland is like Fort Sumpter in Charleston Harbor. It is something they hate, reminding them they are not in charge. |

#15 That's awfully harsh dude. Maybe the protesters should just eat the permissives? |

#14 Choose wisely. Let the cities burn and the protesters starve before they begin eating each other. |

#10 Pictures are absolutely hilarious. Except for the fact that every insurgency only succeeds if they have a haven to RRR. |

#9 I think in the end Dron is right. I have no particular love for Portland or any of it's soul mates. They are enclaves and the people got what they voted for, these morons in NYC anxious to explain De Blasio is the worst human alive ought shut the Hell up. But an enclave is not enough for them. Political office, most often lucrative sinecure is not enough. If unchecked they demand complete control over how you live your life. You will be made to comply, cheer for the 7 yr old tranny and every/any other Marxist whim of the moment. Choose wisely. |

#3 Absolutely not. Kill the protesters. If you can't, the State doesn't deserve to exist. The whole country will fall, piecemeal, to these f#ckers. |
