4. Looks like Trump 'deputized' some Alabama militia full of Billy Bob's (nt)

15. Lol!

Gotta love the fanny pack one of them is rocking!

2. They are trying to make us

think that our efforts are fruitless. Look at it this way, they are so afraid of We the People that they resort to intimidation to scare us. Don't let them get away with it.

Start calling your Congress critters about this!

3. Portland mayor and Oregon Governor should immediately file suit in federal court

Outrageous.
Clear violation of protestors' civil rights, among other things.

5. They should be arrested by the Portland police for kidnapping.

They can't claim authority to detain people without identifying themselves and the source of their authority.

6. I can't believe they haven't already. And Wyden should be on TV screaming bloody murder (nt)

14. "Kidnapping." nt

9. This needs to be surfaced BIG time on the national stage.

You know the staff of powerful and influential people screen this site. As do media.

DNC, Biden, Pelosi, Shumer, Oregeon and Portland elected officials: bring this to light!!

10. It is not hyperbolic at all to refer to these thugs as "Trump's Gestapo."

That's a label that needs to catch on around the world.

13. I hate the fucker. He (Trump) needs to go straight to hell.

12. Call them #FSF #FreedomSuppressionForce

We are now seeing the fist of #RepubloFascism; unmarked paramilitary cracking heads of peaceful protesters with impunity. Let's call this governmental mystery militia what they've been created to do. They are the

#FreedomSuppressionForce

And they're coming to a city near you, with no mandate to serve or protect. Their mission is to destroy dissent through force and fear.
