Multnomah County Republicans Formally Allow Militia Groups to Run Security
Source: Portland Mercury
By Doug Brown
The Multnomah County Republican Party (MCRP) has formally decided to pair up with right-wing militia groups to run security at their events.
The formal resolution was passed on on Monday and its text was leaked to the Mercury Friday morning. MCRP Chairman James Buchal, despite being displeased with the leak, confirmed his group approved pairing up with the Oregon Three Percenters and Oath Keepers via a resolution earlier this week:
Proposed Resolution of Chairman Buchal: Resolve that the MCRP may utilize volunteers from the Oregon Three Percenters, Oath Keepers, and other security groups. To provide security where such volunteers are certified to provide private security service by the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. Kay Bridges moved and Janice Dysinger seconded. Resolution passed.
As the Guardian pointed out late last month, in the wake of the MAX hate crime stabbings and ahead of the the June 4 alt-right rally downtown, the MCRP was considering the plan to allow the militia groups to run security for right-wing. It's now official. A militia member was spotted helping a federal cop detail and arrest a protester at that rally. The militia groups have previously volunteered as security at pro-Donald Trump rallies in Lake Oswego in March and at Patriot Prayer's Vancouver, WA, rally in April. Patriot Prayer is hosting a rally in downtown Portland Friday evening.

OTOH, the goons that hired the goons don't care what kind of riots ensue.

(13,526 posts)"organize" is minimal...it's when and if the new blackwater, old tigerswan mercs (Standing Rock alumni) come into play that makes my brow furrow in worry (seriously)...
And will ICE and the border patrol agents do the bidding of a traitorous government? Are various LE groups being prepped for..."security" details?
There's so much I don't know about various armed outfits that may stand ready and willing to take aim at fellow American citizens, but I think I "know" enough to be somewhat nauseous about the possibilities here, eh...just - damn

(13,485 posts)This is how the fascist minority take control of the majority. All they have to work with is fear, threat, and goading. They make their own emergency if they can't have a real one. There was no problem before and that's just not going to give them the war they drool for.
This tactic is as old as civilization itself.

Conservative militia requests/encourages killing of police.

One of our Christian, patriot, conservative militia heroes encouraging supporters to come shoot the police when they conquered and captured an unmanned Federal nature preserve in Oregon.
Where were our conservatives to call this out as wrong?
