@ThreeOneThreeChris @judgedread @alex I'm guessing they wanna spook em into falling back and standing down by making examples of them. Otherwise they'd be doing it in more places than Portland right?

Problem is these people have a martyr complex. The worse you treat them, the better they feel about it. 🤦🏾‍♂️ This is going to b a tough thing to fight.

@realcaseyrollins @judgedread @alex When they make an example in Portland, another city in another region of the country becomes the new flashpoint, enflamed by the response to the previous one. The situation is a giant grease fire at this point.

@ThreeOneThreeChris @realcaseyrollins It has been a grease fire for some time.

At least Trump is doing something. Also antifa are extreme cowards. It might not take much to break them. Just the local cops busting a few caused a rapid decline in their terror actions. They were crying sweet tears about it as well. 'NO ONE IS GOING TO SHOW UP FOR THE PROTEST IF THEY CAN GO AWAY FOR TEN YEARS!!!'

@ThreeOneThreeChris @realcaseyrollins @alex @judgedread No police force in the West can.

Deterrence is a big part of maintaining the social order.

The way they’re doing though: no TV crews, no newspaper or MSM announcements seem fishy to me.
