Observations from Salem Oregon Capital rally

I am in Oregon and wanted to let you guys know what I observed being down in Salem today contrasted with what I witnessed in Portland during the riots I attended this summer.

The response today is a night and day difference. Oregon State Police, and other municipalities responded very heavy handed compared to this summer with the Federal court house assault and the capital today. Within 7 hours, OSP had 2 MRAP’s, officers with AR’s, and quickly declared it an unlawful assembly. In Portland during multiple nights of rioting over the summer, the local government did not respond at all.

By the time I left, 5 citizens had been arrested. There was damage to the capital building door, which I do not condone and the other citizens were very vocal about their displeasure with also. That was the only damage I observed outside of the riot control munitions deployed by OSP.

The citizens here are sickened with the leadership. Depravation of rights under color of law was on full display today in Salem, and POTUS should call for a special counsel due to the disparity in responses by the state leadership in contrasting the two examples.

A few ANTIFA people showed up, but were grossly outnumbered and did not pose a threat.

This is a prime example of why the citizens need a militia. The use of MRAP’s when there is no need for them was extremely inappropriate and served to disenfranchise citizens.
