Oregon Deputy Cancelled for Suggesting Antifa Set Wildires
2020-09-13
'Cause Antifa would never do something like that. "Every county, every town, burn the forest to the ground." And even if they would you can't say so, so there.
[OregonLive] A Clackamas County Sheriff's deputy seen in a viral video making what the sheriff's office is calling "inappropriate statements," while on duty has been placed on administrative leave, the agency announced Saturday.

The deputy's remarks seemed to give credence to the idea that anti-fascists were causing havoc and possibly setting fires, unfounded rumors strenuously debunked by law enforcement.

"Antifa [bleep] are out here causing hell," the deputy says. "There's a lot of lives at stake and there's a lot of people's property at stake because these guys got some vendetta."

The deputy is heard on the video telling the person filming that deputies "need the public's help," with regards to anti-fascists. Numerous reports and photos of people being stopped by armed vigilantes in Clackamas County have been circulating on social media.

#11  Some Canuckistanians believe in the "Three S Rule": Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up. Canada is a big place and there is a lot of unused territory here.

#10  For some strange reason the fires end at the Canadian border, I guess the Canucks figured out global warming

#9  The tell is referring to them as "anti-fascists". Only their fellow-travelers do that.

#8  Maybe some Oregonian reporters need to be doxxed.

#7  The other piece of this is that The Oregonian ("Antifa's Own") didn't hesitate to publish the deputy's name, although it's been very, uh, cautious about naming the rioters.

#5  Curious how the 60 plus major fires have such proximity to the highway network. Like lightning strikes and climate change drive a Subaru clown car.

#3  35 separate fires don't set themselves.

#2  Not that they would loot and set fires to stores, businesses and police stations, and sometimes accidentally set themselves on fire. Naw, never.
