I have never in my life understood how some people figure that certain things are a good idea.
I remember when I was a kid there were people who used to think that it was a good idea to try and blow through the train crossing as close as they could before the train got there. That never works out for them the way they think it will.
Same thing with Antifa. Sure, they think that they can get one over on the police but the problem there is that they never end up winning because the cops can actually organize and stick together.
Antifa, the domestic terror group tried to storm the ICE facility in Portland and they took on the police department, expecting them to fold as they did before the election.
They were in for a surprise.
After the police drove them back from the building a couple of times, Antifa regrouped and made another charge on the federal building.
As it turned out, the police were simply positioning themselves as they began to launch flash bangs and tear gas at the rioters.
This offensive drove the cowards away from the area in short order.
The thing I find funny is that these domestic terrorists were shocked that the police actually fought back against them.
Antifa had been throwing eggs, rocks and vandalizing the federal building. But, they were positively indignant that the police actually fought back against them. They should have known better. The election is over and they are no longer needed by the Democrats.
They can expect more of the same in the future. I call this the Code Pink/Greta Thunberg/David Hogg complex. You are disposable. And you get disposed of after your usefulness to the Democrats is gone.
The station said the feds continuously pushed demonstrators away from the ICE building, and that protesters tried regrouping and relaunching their offensives.
In one scene caught on video, Antifa militants stalked their way toward federal officers who appeared to be backing up — after which the leftists rejoiced with glee.
It appeared the federal officers pelted the leftists with flash bangs and tear gas — and the leftists didn’t like it, no not one little bit.
