Why has this not yet been covered by NYT or CNN? Usually that means the news outlets want to wait for more facts, but WaPo picked this up this morning and they generally have good judgment.

I feel that everyone needs to know this is going on right now.

Just saw unbelievable abduction video on MSNBC. It's chilling. People supporting the abductee kept asking who they were, and they would not communicate with them at all. Put her in the van, and drove off as her supporters called out that they had her back and would come after her. Governor of Oregon is on right now complaining.

Well obviously, the shoot to kill order hasn't been authorized....yet.
They did shoot a guy in the head with a rubber bullet, who has a fractured skull, and just came out of facial reconstructive surgery. Not kidding.

Federal law enforcement agencies can't enforce city ordnance/state law because their jurisdiction falls under US Code. I'm sure there are mechanisms where state officials can request assistance to enforce state laws... So either the feds went rogue, or the state/city asked for 'mutual aid' assistance.

Both the Mayor & the Governor are having shit fits about it. DHS is doing their thing under the guise of protecting federal property. They just made it harder, oddly enough. Draw more protesters. Place agent provocateurs among them. Contrive an incident.

I asked one of the self-identified "libertarians" I know on FB if this smells like libertarianism. His reply, verbatim:

"Anyone who’s watched the video can clearly see the DHS badges on their uniforms. This article is leftist propaganda. Democrats hate America"

Even with badges, it was an unlawful arrest (no rights read, etc). Always disturbing that these big govt authoritarians who think the Constitution protects only their rights like to call themselves libertarians. I bet he thinks they're 'antifa terrorists' just because he disagrees with their speech too.

Any minute now our resident ‘conservatives’ will be along to condemn this. Any minute now......
The resident 'conservatives' (AKA brownshirt admirers/goosestepping devotees) will just say that these people must have done something to deserve getting arrested. That's always how it is with them - a simple relationship of cause and effect.

If your skull was cracked open, well, you did something to make you deserve having your skull cracked open. Not the jackbooted thugs' fault; your fault, for not obeying your orders quickly enough.

Totally a normal thing in a democracy, having anonymous camouflaged troops fighting your own citizens. Totally normal!

If it wasn't for those violent criminals...

Found your video here:


Man is that weird. These guys just walk right up, don't say a word, and cart her off to an unmarked SUV. This is not a normal police arrest. I've never seen anything like it.

You know who *does* have their names clearly displayed on the uniforms. Frigging soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines while deployed to actual combat zones. Somehow they manage to make it work.

Apparently Antifa has the capabilities as the US Intelligence agencies themselves. Quite the formidable opponent...how convenient for the Gestapo.

This, IMO, is Trump's path or re-election. Instead of the Mexicans and evil brown people, he's going to push the protests to violence and say "Antifa is coming for you next!!". Again, stroking the enlarged amygdalas of his base.
