In reply to the discussion: BREAKING: The feds are withdrawing from Portland on Thursday [View all]Sympthsical
(9,041 posts)30. Protesters have been trying to burn down a federal courthouse
Thats what prompted the initial federal presence.
This never gets mentioned.
Im not defending law enforcement behavior. But we should at least acknowledge that protesters are visiting violence as well and threatening to burn down a federal courthouse. Many attempts have been made.
Its just never mentioned for some reason. Here and many other places I frequent. To read within the bubble, federal presence and any response at all is totally unprovoked.
Its disturbing to me, to be that checked into the narrative and out of objective factual analysis.

They shouldn't withdraw them all. They should just go back to being legal again

Cities and states across the country should coordinate on lawsuits. This fascism cannot stand.
