Oops part 1 too long?
OK. Continued....
Now I had not seen weapons from the Right marchers. And I had seen weapons from the Left. Besides watched the ambush set up.
Watching the violence first hand and having a front row seat here is my impressions.
The Left crossed the street. And instigated the riot.
Now here is another thing. How about the weapons. I'm sure everyone has seen the big guy knock out the guy with a metal pipe...
HOLD ON! What?
Latest update... The guy with a metal pipe was attacking people on the ground when he attacked a man and then during the punches he falls over backwards and is apparently hospitalized. Police can't charge someone who was clearly defending others and himself.
Here is a. Link by one of the people of color reporting.

Now this country is in the midst of a civil war....
The police are allowing this to occur to anyone.
Now the marchers were searched for weapons.
The rioters were not.
We have a clear and present danger to the safety of all people.
I hate politics. I've stayed out of this one. But it comes up as evidence that the Democratic Party tried to tie the election. And scandal after scandal with these paid agitators.
The more I get reports from the media? "illegal fireworks " and really shrugs off the fact this riot is been enabled to use explosive devices in American streets.
That is scary. That is huge. That needs to change...
And the left?
Willamette Week had an artical.

This is definitely something that has been growing and I'm not sure if it can be stopped.
This has been eating me and I'm totally not interested in political violence.
Had this keep going? Full scale riot? Not good!
Had the police done their job? How about arresting everyone caught on camera rioting and assaulting others?
This might not be growing into an out of control situation.
Again I hate both sides. I'm sorry for the posts if you don't agree with it. But had to start talking about it. And instead of taking to the streets to have a civil war?
How about we get to work fixing the real issues?

Glad to see the guy who knocked out that armed, masked, rioter won't be facing any charges.

I was curious if you saw these fights. Seems very likely there is some allowed agitation being permitted. When both sides show up armed in protective gear nothing good will happen. When one side is allowed to have weapons & one is not there are some questions that deserve answers.
I’ve asked quite a few people if they saw this in the news & seems nobody has. Very interesting considering the scale was pretty big for a fight

Yes I was there. And next to the local news reporter. It was insane that I had seen everything I had

Let alone the scale of the fighting and the fact one side had an armed ambush? Let alone no charges for the armed aggressors. Just glad this is over. I don't want a war here. But it's looking more like that every day

Don't Thinknthis guy is getting out of the hospital. And I'd totally not want to take that rematch bet... The guy if he gets out of the hospital should be facing charges.
Oh and that why the ambulance showed up. Full cranial hit on pavement.

If u go swinging a baton at a much larger man, you better know how to move your head & feet.
Looked like the big guy was winding up for an uppercut & then hitched to a hook when he saw the hand drop. Either way the baton swinger was obviously very poorly trained if at all.
Not sure how you run into that situation with no idea how to defend yourself, but perhaps the tbi of the week will give both sides reason to be smarter.
That guy will never be the same

Oh he might not survive. And besides that the head trauma? Wow. Sorry but don't pick a fight with someone who has armor. Didn't flinch from the first hit... And obviously way bigger.
And yeah that was an experienced shot. Nice you caught that.
