Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler seemed to shun responsibility for allowing Antifa to freely roam the streets and commit violence in the city, insisting he always orders the police to “enforce the law.”
Wheeler, who’s been in office since January 2017, has been under fire for the rise of Antifa in his city, particularly after a June 29 protest that led to the violent assault of conservative journalist Andy Ngo.
“The game plan we’ve been using up to this point is no longer effective,” Wheeler told Oregon’s FOX 12 about the violence on the streets.
Well, since your ‘game plan’ is allowing the antifa thugs to rampage through your city, yeah.
Ngo was seen being kicked and doused with a milkshake during a clash between Antifa and members of the conservative group Proud Boys during the protest. As a result of the attack, Ngo said he suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Portland Police Association President Daryl Turner released a statement following the violent protest, blaming Wheeler for lack of enforcement and saying the mayor must “remove the handcuffs from our officers and let them stop the violence through strong and swift enforcement action.”
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, meanwhile, called for a federal investigation into Wheeler and his actions that may have allowed “domestic terrorists” to attack on Americans on the streets.
…..Wheeler told the outlet. “The truth is, I wasn’t even here. I wasn’t even in the United States. I was with my family in Ecuador on a wildlife tour.”
“One of the things I would like the public to know, is there is a unified incident command center that’s engaged during these demonstrations,” he continued. “There is an incident commander, certainly the police chief.”
This shit has been going on for a while, long before Wheeler took his little trip to Ecuador.

Well, it looks as though this hands off policy doesn’t work all that great. Maybe it’s not the policy but how it’s implemented. Let’s try one nationwide and see how it goes. Pelosi, the squalling “Squad” and all those leftist intelligentsia can’t be wrong. Antifa is only a group of upset citizens voicing their opinion. Ohmar and the “ThreeTwit Twats” only have the best interests of the people in mind. If only socialism and Sharia law were implemented correctly then the world would be a better place. Will these stupid dipshits ever learn? How long will we let them run rampant over our lives. Shut ’em up, shut ’em down and ship ’em out.
