With the aid of Portland mayor, Ted Wheeler, the ever-escalating violent groups Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA (ironically an acronym for anti-fascism) are no longer even pretending to be peaceful protesters and are stepping up their roughshod tactics.
Yesterday one BLM anarchist freely admitted that her goal is to destroy the United States.
A second violent BLM leader shouted to her supporters, which apparently includes Mayor Wheeler, that she is no longer interested in peaceful protests.
Tai Carpenter told the “Wheeler Whackadoos” to “F**k the peaceful protests.” The mayor chimed in with what seemed to be his support.
Wheeler has repeatedly tried to blame President Trump and Federal agents for the violence in Portland.
One reporter finally called him out and reminded Wheeler that there has been over 5 weeks of violence prior to the first DHS ever coming to Portland.
The unrest and upheavel became so dangerous that Federal law enforcement had to move into Portland to protect Federal property and ensure the safety of Federal employees.
Imagine this for a moment. Prior to the existence of BLM there was Martin Luther King and the Black Panthers. The Black Panthers were an extremely violent group and after years of protesting they have essentially accomplished nothing.
Martin Luther King, on the other hand, believed in and organized peaceful protests and he was able to change the mindset of millions of Americans and reshaped the entire country.
So what exactly what has BLM accomplished? I am serious here, what have they accomplished?
They decend on communities and cause mayhem, loot local businesses, vandalize and burn down buildings and these brutes who say they want to win over public sentiment, brutally beat anyone with whom they disagree.
They anger those who would otherwise sympathize with their cause and turn them into opponents.
Tai Carpenter, pres of @DontShootPDX, “There is no such thing as f***ing peaceful protest. That is an exercise in all lives matter bulls***, and it’s not gonna stand. There is no peaceful protest!” @MrAndyNgo @VictoriaTaft @michellemalkin @Barnes_Law @pnjaban @LarsLarsonShow pic.twitter.com/jYTbG0kFm6

At the end of the day, what will become of Portland? The businesses that were looted and had their buildings burned to the ground would be fools to rebuild before the next round of riots.
The best and the brightest will move out of Portland, jobs will become scarce and will go to those who may be overqualified and leave those with less skills with no gainful employment.
