"HEAR YE" "HEAR YE", KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON ON PORTLAND, OREGON'S ANTIFA'S CITY, IN THE "NATIONAL REVIEW" ON DEC. 31, 2018.

"IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT A BUNCH OF HALF-BAKED IDIOTS AND KETTLE-CORN PSALMISTS IN A POLITICAL MARCH ARE UP TO, THE EASIEST THING TO DO IS TO MARCH AROUND WITH THEM, AS I DID FOR A WHILE IN PORTLAND...

"The kettle-corn girl is but one of the many madcap escapees from the great mental ward of the Pacific Northwest out here making strange noises on the mean streets of downtown Portland on Election Night 2018.... (Hear the chant.) "Whose streets?" "Our Streets!" "Whose Streets!" "Our Streets!" "Whose Streets!" "Our Streets!"...                          

The thing is the pointy-headed little black-shirted goons aren't wrong about that.The official target of tonight's march is U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement - an agency within the Department of Homeland Security.... "Abolish -ICE!" is the official theme of the evening.... but the real subject (the chants) "F ### The POLICE!" --- "A-C-A-B" "ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS!" --- Repeat ---...And these absolutely are their streets, as the two neutered Portland cops following them dutifully around make clear.                                                           

The goons and thugs occasionally take a moment to amuse themselves by messing with the cops and screaming obscenities at them.... The cops trundle on ... pretending not to notice as the hoodlums pound on passing cars, block intercessions, and menace bystanders...

"A police vehicle cruises down the street a respectful distance behind the mob. The purported lawmen inside announce over the loudspeakers that they are there to assure this rabble of miscreants that they are there to help the mob "exercise your First Amendment rights safely," so please stay on the sidewalk and obey the traffic laws. ...

"In real life, Portland's mayor is Ted Wheeler, a sniveling little runt of a bureaucrat who professes to be "appalled" at the politically violence that is now a commonplace on the streets of Portland bu complains that he is effectively unable to do anything about it. When Antifa thugs attacked a march held by Patriot Prayer, a local right-wing group, police reported seeing people brandishing guns, clubs, knives, and pepper spray. They made no arrests....                        

According to Andy Ngo, a local journalist who has written for the Wall Street Journal  and other publications about the Portland fascists who style themselves anti-fascist ... the police are under orders to avoid creating "flashpoints," meaning confrontation between police and hooligans that might look bad on video....

"Peter Beinart, writing in The Atlantic, forthrightly describe Antifa as a group of "people preventing Republicans from safely assembling on the streets of Portland." And elsewhere, of course. And in spite of the ridiculous rhetoric surrounding Antifa, this is very much a Democrat-vs- Republican issue...Antifa, in Ngo's estimate, is made up of "young people who are ideologues wanting to be heroes. With the ideological monoculture in Portland, people here really think that they are in some kind of cosmic battle with fascists.... George H. Kubeck

Who in the world wants to visit a cowardly city like Portland, or for that matter, Oregon itself?
