"Oregon's paper of record is warning the rest of the nation that what's happening here is textbook, authoritarian police state tactics, and that it's way past time for the system of checks and balances to do its thing.

"Anyone who's ever said 'I disagree with what you say, but I'll never stop defending your right to say it' needs to step up and do something now. You don't have to agree with Portland's protesters 100% to see that what's happening here is unacceptable."

-- Seth Cotlar ([twitter.com profile] SethCotlar), 2020-07-20 (this quote-tweets the start of a 17-tweet thread by The Oregonian ([twitter.com profile] Oregonian))

Even more so ...

Even more so, where are all the 2nd Amendment "patriots" who claim to be arming to oppose "government overreach?" This is exactly the "government overreach" that they've been ranting about for years now.

IF you claim to be a "patriot", it's time to put yourself on the line and come out swinging to repel these Fascist, Authoritarian thugs.

Also, those who claim to be followers of Jesus? Where are you? Why are you not with the peaceful protesters?

Failure to pick a side means you're enabling the dark forces of Fascism and Authoritarianism. It makes you complicit if you don't oppose them.

Bible verse: "Jesus wept."
