Federal authorities used unmarked minivans to remove Portland protesters from streets: Report
by Anthony Leonardi, Breaking News Reporter
 | July 17, 2020 08:17 AM

Federal authorities reportedly used unmarked vans in Portland, Oregon to seize and stop protesters.

Since July 14, federal law enforcement have reportedly driven in unmarked vehicles in Portland, Oregon to arrest and remove protesters off the streets. The efforts are an escalation by federal authorities to prevent civil unrest.

“I see guys in camo,” said protester Conner O’Shea to OPB. “Four or five of them pop out, open the door and it was just like, ‘Oh shit. I don’t know who you are or what you want with us.’”

O'Shea and his friend Mark Pettibone said they encountered a group of individuals Wednesday night who warned them agents were dressed in camouflage and detaining others into their vans.

“So that was terrifying to hear,” Pettibone said.

Just 5-20 years?  That 's an outrage by itself.

IMO this is a far better way to deal with the riots than sending in the 101st. No photo ops, no martyrs.

If this provokes media outrage imagine what would result from pictures of dead & injured protestors.

Even better would be stealthly relocating every one of these rioting perps to Gitmo.

Or relocating them from 30k feet somewhere between Florida and Cuba.

Twitter rants explain why sending in the 101st would have been a bad idea:

You invaded an American city without invitation from the state's governor.

You detained, kidnapped, & dragged American citizens to gods know where w/out due process.

You have committed crimes sanctioned by Trump.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The only downside is, it is unsatisfying for the folks demanding Trump send in the Army to break heads.  They want a public show of licensed violence, and don't care how many votes that will cost in November.

I love the outrage of nitwits like Pelosi over the use of "unmarked minivans." Does she expect the cops to come tootling into the riot zone like this?

I'd be satisfied by dumping them on the front yard of the Mayor's and City Council's of Portland homes.

Federal Unit Behind Arrests In Portland Reportedly Identified. Pelosi Smears Them, Makes False Claims.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) smeared federal law enforcement officials on Friday night while making false claims about the continuing violence and rioting in Portland, Oregon.

“Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti,” Pelosi claimed. “These are not the actions of a democratic republic. @DHSgov’s actions in Portland undermine its mission. Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.”

This is a really stupid look for Pelosi - I gotta believe most Americans are thinking 'its about time' regarding the arrest of these punks.

She must be pretty confident the rats will hang on to the House.

The only downside is, it is unsatisfying for the folks demanding Trump send in the Army to break heads.  They want a public show of licensed violence, and don't care how many votes that will cost in November.
So, how well is Trump doing in the polls by sitting back and watching things deteriorate?
I'm not necessarily advocating shooting these fools (but I wouldn't shed any tears), however, inaction by the president just encourages more rioting and lawlessness.
Given all that, there's the political course of action and there's the right course of action. We, I voted for Trump because we thought he'd do the right regardless of the political angle.
 I'll respect Trump more if he takes the decision to maintain law and order when mayors and govs. do not want to maintain law and order.

Wouldn't it be nice is a nice upstanding storm trouper kidnapped Pelosi and threw her in a cell full of these Marxist rioters?

Stormtroopers? That slip of the tongue needs to be costly to the Democrats.
