That is just what they want. ANTIFA is just like hamas. They would love to see federal agents gunning down people in the streets.
They would gladly sacrifice a few of their useful idiots to achieve this. Those idiots do not even realize they are being used as canon fodder.
Remember that POS woman who tried to run down an ICE agent with her car and he had to shoot her to stop. The media made it out that ICE shot an unarmed person. Days later the rest of the story came out but the damage was done.
Now imagine 10-20 "protesters shot. They would be writing songs like 4 dead in Ohio all over again.

Damage is only done to idiots who watch and believe the news. Ya ya, I know, there are a loootta idiots in the USA but there are still enough around that know what's really going on. The time is way past due to stop worrying about what the media is going to say and start taking care of business.
By the way, there is only one way to deal with hamas. If antifa is just like hamas, well there you go.

Maybe he meant "protect the protesters" like the police protect their suspects by putting them in handcuffs and placing them in the back of the patrol car. "This is for your protection and mine." they say.

An interesting situation, at least from a thousand miles away and speaking as an observer.

Has the Oregon National Guard been called up under the state governor's authority, or is this a federal activation of the NG under national authority? Different rules and command structure must apply. I wonder about the problems of deploying local NG units in their home areas, certainly not an easy assignment for local citizens being put on the front line to face neighbors in a conflict area.

We will see how this plays out.

This video was from 2020 or 2021 and was from the time the Ore Governor called them up. Someone pulled this video out to make it look like the NG is defying Trump. But it looks to me like its taken out of context. DR

That changes things now does’t it?

The General’s testimony in the video before an Oregon Senate subcommittee was Sept 30 of this year…

Portland has a history of supporting violent leftist protests. A video in a link provided post #3 shows the absence of local law enforcement coming to the aid of federal law enforcement in a violent clash back in 2021. One example.
The President has deployed the NG to Portland to avoid a repeat of Portlands past support of violent protest against federal law enforcement doing their jobs.
A General of the Oregon NG in the video is saying his mission will be protecting protesters. Who will he protecting them from ? It is being interpreted here in Oregon as he is saying NG troops will be protecting protesters from ICE (Trump).

That's how I see it, seems pretty clear to me, the general is a portlander through and through.

The video was of the Generals testimony Sept 30, 2025 . The video of Antifa attacking ICE were from 2021.
