Title: Government in action

Conservatives have a permit to hold a rally. The rally is attacked by Antifa thugs. The governments response is ... to revoke the permit after the rally is in progress, and order everyone to disperse. That left the people who had had a permit stranded among hostile forces, some distance from where their buses were staged.

If I didn't know our government never makes mistakes and always wants what's best for us, I might be tempted to think there was a conspiracy here to undermine a legitimate political rally.

And then police wonder why their support among normal, law-abiding people is going down . . .  :facepalm:

That's Portland. There's a reason one of our local talk show hosts calls it Moscow on the Willamette.
