From that article, and where the LA Times sinks to new lows on my credibility scale:
The Republican Party in Multnomah County (home to Portland), formally decided to hire two right-wing militia groups — Three Percenters and Oath Keepers — to provide security at its events, which seems analogous to the time the Rolling Stones hired Hells Angels to provide security at their Altamont concert. What could possibly go wrong?
Emphasis mine. WTF? Comparing Three Percenters and
Oath Keepers with the H.A.?
And no, the rumors of ANTIFA types setting fires have NOT been "debunked", there have been numerous arrests.
Further:
In some of those towns, said Lowndes, who studies right-wing political trends, there were small Black Lives Matter protests, “and it became very dangerous for these activists and organizers because they would be met with wild fantasies about what BLM is and what antifa is.â€
We had similar (small) protests in this end of my State, and no one was hurt, even though the protests were met with (armed) counter assemblies of concerned individuals. Any danger only existed for those breaking the law, not for the truly peaceful protesters.
As for "wild fantasies"? You mean like "Climate Change" is why Portland, Minneapolis, Baltimore, etc burned, and not ANTIFA and BLM rioters?
I guess these people forget they no longer control the narrative, except among those who
want to believe, to steal a phrase from the X-files (which are likely closer to reality than the Times' account).
