As mentioned earlier, Antifa goons took advantage of sympathetic local government to assert control over downtown Portland last Saturday, throwing eggs at police and forcing them to retreat as they vandalized property. The absence of a functioning police force under moonbat rule made it a bad scene for journalists:

TheBlaze on Monday reported about a threatening Antifa mob chasing a videographer during a weekend protest in Portland, Oregon — after which unsympathetic riot police told the videographer that “we’re not gonna come out and save you.”

Another journalist got worse treatment the same day, as police did nothing.

Brandon Brown — described by conservative writer Andy Ngo as a “local citizen journalist” — was recording video of Antifa gathered on a street when the mob turned on Brown.

Brown’s cellphone camera stayed on throughout the ordeal, showing at least 10 Antifa thugs surrounding him before several began poking him with umbrellas. Indeed, Portland police confirmed that some protesters used “metal-tipped umbrellas” to jab “people and chase them down the street.”

The Antifa fascists called him a Nazi (of course) and sprayed him in the face with “what appeared to be pepper spray,” blinding him.

Nearby, a large group of police on bicycles refrained from lifting a finger. No doubt they had orders from Antifa-friendly Mayor/Police Commissioner Ted Wheeler to let the goons do as they pleased.

Antifa is liberal-run cities’ equivalent of the Red Guard, which consisted of ideologically deranged young hoodlums who terrorized China with winks and nods from the government during the Cultural Revolution.

Brown’s video demonstrates what liberal fascism looks like at the street level:

Antifa continues to fill the vacuum caused by moonbat rule in Portland:

Antifa ran wild on the streets of Portland Saturday, taking advantage of a cancelled and dubious supposed Ku Klux Klan rally to wrestle control of the city’s downtown from the Portland police.

Mayor/Police Commission Ted Wheeler, a flaming liberal, sides with the anarchists. Without political support, the police had little choice but to retreat as they were pelted with eggs and other missiles.

No wonder cops from the surrounding area refuse to work in Portland.

Here’s what the Antifa goons did to a monument commemorating those who fought in the Spanish-American War:

All remnants of American civilization will be defaced and then erased when moonbats achieve total dominance.

“Mainstream” media propagandists hold to their narrative like shipwrecked rats clinging to flotsam. When Antifa rioters are arrested and charged for their sociopathic antics, the media spins it as a response to right-wing provocation.

Matt Christiansen reports on the reporting in Seattle:

Antifa must appreciate getting a moral pass from a press that excuses or at the very least downplays even its most brazenly criminal behavior. However, if Antifa types ever take over the country, journalists will still be among the first to face the firing squads.

At least the police in Seattle are making an attempt to keep Antifa violence under control. If only this would spread to Portland.

An infestation of Muslim colonists, Antifa vermin, and other assorted socialists is rendering Paris dysfunctional:

Those who don’t understand history are doomed to repeat it. Few of these sociopaths are likely to know much about the Reign of Terror that followed the French Revolution. Those who do know about it might welcome the horror.

A masked moonbat identified as an “Antifa/Extinction Rebellion protester” stands in front of someone’s SUV, then attacks it with what looks like a baseball bat. He probably won’t do it again. LANGUAGE ALERT:

On tips from Henry B and Steve T.

Public school teacher and rioting Antifa thug Yvette Felarca (or is it Yvonne Felarca?) has proclaimed that violence against right-wingers is “not a crime.” Looks like the legal system more or less agrees.

Via Berkeleyside:

Under a plea agreement, the Sacramento District Attorney is set to dismiss a case against Berkeley teacher Yvette Felarca and two co-defendants related to a neo-Nazi rally and counter-protest more than three years ago.

Felarca and two other activists were scheduled to go to trial Thursday over felony assault charges and misdemeanor rioting charges, but left the morning court hearing, in front of Judge Richard Sueyoshi, with only a community service requirement and stay-away order.

For assault and rioting, she has to do 90 hours of community service before taking part in protests and stay away from Sacramento. If she behaves herself, the case will be dismissed after 18 months.

They might not have been so hard on her, except there was actual video of her assaulting an alleged neo-Nazi.

Felarca is associated with the violent Antifa sect BAMN (By Any Means Necessary), which in turn is associated with NAMBLA. She says she is now back to teaching full time. No doubt the kids are learning some very woke lessons.

It’s easy to laugh at the Stalinist fantasies that drive Antifa losers — until you realize that sometimes armies of slobs like this end up in control of major countries:

Cowards are encouraged to be very vocal about supporting all things moonbatty now, “because God help you if you are found to be one of those people who backed the Trump Administration when the Left comes for you, because the Left will come for you, one way or the other.”

Recall that Trump was democratically elected; the Left will have to come for a large percentage of the population. But it has done so before, in Russia, China, Cambodia, North Korea, et cetera.

Guys like this are going to love working at the torture chambers and gulags if progressives manage to make America into the Soviet Union II. He is correct that things will go very hard for countermoonbats if we are not able to stop them.

Patriots don’t have it easy in Portland, between the constant rain, the local government run by militant moonbats, and of course the satanic Antifa creeps. Joey Gibson and Patriot Prayer keep their chins up anyway:

These days it isn’t hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Antifa has a history of attacking Patriot Prayer in Portland. Everyone knows whose side the authorities will take (see here, here, here, and here).

This guy can thank London police for proving his point. Watch as they drag him off in handcuffs after he denounces Antifa fascists as fascists at a protest in front of BBC offices in London yesterday. Naturally, “antifascist” fascists cheer as he is packed away into an ominous-looking van:

It could be that London Mayor Sadiq Khan sides with Antifa types just as aggressively as Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler. That would not come as a surprise.

Washington Examiner reporter Julio Rosas attempted to cover the Antifa chaos in Portland in response to right-wing demonstrations yesterday. The American flag on his shirt was found to be offensive by an Antifa freakazoid of incomprehensible gender:

Later Rosas was extricated by police to avoid violence:

Others were not lucky enough to find police protection from Antifa:

No worries; the moonbats running Portland are sure to get everything in hand. On Friday they arrested Joey Gibson of Patriot Prayer for rioting. Patriot Prayer has been violently targeted by Antifa goons. Somehow, the arrest of Gibson — who was not connected with yesterday’s events — failed to prevent Antifa violence, but no doubt ultraleft Mayor Ted Wheeler is trying his best.

Actually, Antifa is spiraling out of control. Liberal authorities and the media are letting it happen, content to let Antifa serve as a cat’s paw to intimidate opposition.

Surprise! A moonbat evidently acting on behalf of Antifa who tried to chain College Republicans inside a University of Washington-Seattle lecture hall will not be charged with any crime. Drones the prosecuting attorney’s office,

“We are declining to prosecute…because, based on the facts presented, it is unlikely that we would be able to prove he intentionally committed the crime of disorderly conduct beyond a reasonable doubt…

“Since we are unable to say what he intended to accomplish beyond a reasonable doubt, we decline to file a criminal charge.”

It is obvious what he was trying to accomplish: intimidation. That’s the objective of all Antifa antics. The point here was probably to insert the thought that if they can lock us in a lecture hall, they can lock us in a lecture hall and then start a fire. The purpose of Antifa is to make people afraid not to be moonbats.

If bashing someone’s head in with a bike lock only earns an Antifa goon probation, following through with the disorderly conduct arrest was too much ask of authorities.

Emerald City Antifa had specifically called for moonbats to “show up to deplatform” the event, which featured an appearance by the hosts of Operation Cold Front, lest someone say something that doesn’t comply with Antifa’s ideological requirements.

As noted at Legal Insurrection,

When behavior like this goes unpunished, it only encourages more.

Antifa moonbats are progressivism’s street level enforcers — roughly the equivalent of the Red Guards during communist China’s Cultural Revolution or the Brownshirts during the rise of Nazism. There have been calls to have them officially acknowledged as a terror group, as New Jersey has done. It might be more useful to designate Antifa as a collection of criminal gangs. OAN’s Jack Posobiec makes the case:

On a tip from Dragon’s Lair.

Surprise surprise. The domestic terrorist who was killed in a shootout with police after firebombing an ICE facility in Tacoma Saturday was affiliated with Antifa. He was also high as a kite on Democrat Party rhetoric.

69-year-old Willem Van Spronsen was shot dead by police after he threw Molotov cocktails at the building and nearby cars on Saturday morning.

According to his manifesto, a copy of which was obtained by Jack Posobiec, Van Spronsen was armed with an AR-15 and stated, “I am Antifa”.

The nut’s manifesto refers to ICE holding facilities as “concentration camps.” If that absurd lie sounds familiar, you could be thinking of the Future of the Democratic Party, who recently barked,

“The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps.”

During China’s nightmarish Cultural Revolution, mayhem was inflicted on a massive scale by gangs of maniacal left-wing sociopaths who called themselves Red Guards. Their similarities to Antifa are chilling. Red Guards were exploited by Mao to terrorize the public and destroy teachers and local party officials suspected of insufficient loyalty to his cult of personality. Just as Mao put his stamp of approval on the horrific acts of torture, murder, theft, and vandalism inflicted by the Red Guards, the liberal media and the Democrat Party give a big thumbs up to Antifa. Just as Mao set off orgies of Red Guard violence with proclamations like “To rebel is justified,” the liberal establishment has been stoking Antifa with radical rhetoric.

Antifa is just getting started. Unsurprisingly, they regard Van Spronsen as a martyr. He will be exploited to inspire future violence.

The more power the Democrats acquire, the scarier Antifa will get. Disarming law-abiding citizens, leaving us defenseless against their Antifa cat’s paws, will take high priority.

Meanwhile, as the liberal establishment asks us to equate Antifa with the Greatest Generation…

…Dan Dicks of Press for Truth documents that in Canada as in the USA, Antifa freaks are the fascists, not those they try to silence:

Almost every establishment media report on Antifa mobs assaulting countermoonbats is characterized as a clash between antifascists (by which they mean Antifa) and far right activists. This systematic distortion confirms that the media is on Antifa’s side and hopes that it will continue to serve as the street level enforcers of political correctness.
