I think you're missing the point of this question. He's wondering why the prosecutors are getting away picking and choosing who the law applies to. There must be some recourse in the system to hold a prosecutor accountable when they refuse to uphold the law.
Imagine for example, that a prosecutor simply refuses to prosecute rape. He always drop the charges against rape. Such a prosecutor has effectively legalized rape-- is that even legal for a prosecutor to do?
No, of course it isn’t. But the checks on it in our system are legal and politically controlled. When the entire legal and local political establishment are against all law, we have rebellion and not any mere legal matter.
This reeks of criminal conspiracy to terrorize law-abiding citizens, if these DAs were refusing to prosecute criminals who paid them off, it'd be illegal. Why does the DA thinking the victims deserved to have the crime inflicted upon them suddenly make it legal?
Yup. Proud boys were slandered as domestic terror groups and antifa took that as the go ahead to start the executions, burnings, and looting. They know they can attack anyone they want and theyll get away with it. Thats why if antifa ever attacks me, they'll be shot dead on the spot. No one will be left alive to testify against me. If they live, they automatically get victim status no matter what in democrat America. We're all against facism, except antifa. That's been clear from the beggining. Theyre just now finally starting to barely apply the law equally. Thanks demcorats. Have fun burning in hell.
Yeah, Ted Wheeler keeps the police on the streets, but has totally neutered them.. and that was all before the DA declared he wouldn't be doing his job.
In simple terms: this is a branch of the executive telling the judicial that they no longer are on the same team. It is a huge deal.
When the lawmen with the guns tell the lawmen with the books to go pound sand, it is a major breakdown of the system.
Watch these developments closely because if the proverbial buck does not stop here, we are heading into Wild West territory. Someone has to step up and repair the situation. Looking at you judicial branch.
Gosh that I dunno, but it was a decent sized supplementary force to help Portland Police. The deal was that the feds would stay inside the court house if Portland and/or Oregon police protected it, so we'll likely see the feds in action again real soon.
I dunno what to make of it. On one hand, Portland could be allowed to have their bolshevik revolution and go bankrupt. On the other hand, the symbolism of a communist insurrection being allowed to take over a federal courthouse.. yikes.
I’m also torn. I think trump was right to initially let this fester and let the nonparticipants see what their blue vote does to their neighborhood, but now... it’s like a cancer. You gotta cut it off before it spreads
This is too nefarious, and widespread to let it burn. You have prosecutors in some of the larges cities in this country, deciding to charge people based on their political affiliation. If this is allowed to stand, the country is finished.
theres a flag-wave meetup in gresham every wednesday 6-8pm somewhere around 220th I think, but can't remember the cross street. It was posted here just a day or two ago, I think if you search for "Gresham" it might come up... Prolly not that far of a drive if youre near the 205.
I guess I can't really afford to go over there right now. Why do I make these comments? I can't afford to do anything.
Gosh, it's frustrating. There are really a lot of patriots here, and Portland and Seattle are so close. Theoretically, a militia raised here could completely stop the riots in both cities. Or we could organize cleanup projects like Scott Pressler did. But it seems that most of us are content to sit here on the other side of the Cascades and watch our nice cities burn to the ground.
Every "Portland" originating source I found never led with the "why", just that they were leaving. It was either downplayed, indicated a link to the entire statement, or limited to one sentence without commentary. Every non-Portland source leads with the "why" and includes it in the headline.
No shit, should’ve done it sooner. They aren’t there to be punching bags, babysitters or to entertain rioters. When you straight up tell them there will be no consequences, that’s what you are signalling the police are there for.
I hope this gives Trump the excuse to send the Feds back out but with more support. The protests in my neighborhood stopped while they were busy downtown, keep the flies away with that bait.
It sure would be unfortunate if that DA's house were to be vandalized and his family threatened with being burned alive because they 'knew where he lived'
It sure would be shame if some people dressed up in BLM & ANTIFA gear and surrounded the houses of the Portland City Council and made their lives as interesting as those of Police Officers trying to stop looting, rioting and arson there in Portland. A sort of operation chaos. Sure would be a shame.
Probably safer for the good citizens of Portland to just refuse to pay taxes and engage in a tax revolt. No taxation without representation.
Hint - you don’t need lawful prosecutors if you deal with lawless thugs on the street directly and permanently instead of just arresting them. Stop asking for permission from notorious communists, and just execute the law.
The DOJ is charging some of the worst offenders in these states, but of course most rioters are still enjoying catch and release.
The "good news" is the federal charges tend to stick. The feds have a very high success rate.
Personally, would like to see RICO and gang laws used against these scumbags.

If you get paid off by campaign contributions, not illegal. If you get paid off by criminals, it's illegal. It's the same fucking thing!
There is no law lol
Anarchy. The only one following the non existent laws are us plebs.
That's news to me. Got a source? I thought they were deep into D contributions/groups
This B.S. started 4 years ago, where Trump supporters were charged for defending themselves, while ANTIFA was not prosecuted for assaulting people
Yup. Proud boys were slandered as domestic terror groups and antifa took that as the go ahead to start the executions, burnings, and looting. They know they can attack anyone they want and theyll get away with it. Thats why if antifa ever attacks me, they'll be shot dead on the spot. No one will be left alive to testify against me.

I agree. How is this legal?
Yeah, and as they're saying, why should we bother if the DA isn't going to uphold the law? Hard to argue against them being better utilized elsewhere.
Yeah, Ted Wheeler keeps the police on the streets, but has totally neutered them.. and that was all before the DA declared he wouldn't be doing his job.
Or even better still, Fat Man or Little Boy.
2 MG240 crew served medium machineguns. All it would take.

Yeah, basically the DA is doing nothing so they can force federal officers to protect property and blame them again for "troops on the street"
I dunno what to make of it. On one hand, Portland could be allowed to have their bolshevik revolution and go bankrupt. On the other hand, the symbolism of a communist insurrection being allowed to take over a federal courthouse.. yikes.
It is also a clear cut example of the specific failure of leftist policy.
If it is allowed to not only happen, but was painstakingly documented, analyzed and distributed, it could be the largest red pill yet.
This is what you want, this is what you get.

No, conquer them with live ammo.
What can Tri-Cities do to help Portland? I don't even have any ideas. But we're nearly as big as Portland. Surely we could do something.

These guys should be deputising law abiding citizens so they enjoy the same protections as LEOs when defending property and their lives.

all the portland originating sources are bought and commified. About a year ago the oregon live closed down their comment feature altogether.

Well wait. Lets not be so bullish.
Lets let them tear each other apart for a bit before they are rescued from their own incompetence
It sure would be unfortunate if that DA's house were to be vandalized and his family threatened with being burned alive because they 'knew where he lived'
DA's who refuse to take care of their cities must be held accountable and taken to task...jail em all!!

They are already saying that these attacks are conservative false flags. We don't need to help them along with any actual false flags, obviously.
Oregon State Police. Not twisted liberal lunatics. Good to know!

Arresting them doesn't work so go straight to the penalty phase.
