So the local protest is between 11:30 and 2. I have cleared my schedule and taking my family and a few friends. 

Yup, the riots start as soon as it gets dark. Your ok till then. And today was the official cut on welfare checks. No work, less pay. Guess who's going to be upset? 

It's getting rowdy in Portland already tonight

Well, they’re showing up early this AM.  I counted 17 charter buses and 3 box trucks staged just off the Interstate.  Thats just off one exit, I’m sure there’s more elsewhere.  And no, I’m not insinuating that they’re bringing bricks, etc. My experience is that the box trucks are full of signs, banners, food, medical supplies, etc.

Leftists and violence go hand in hand.  Like Peanut Butter and Jelly.  Whenever there is a leftist gathering, they bring their BLM/Antifa Brown Shirts with them.  It's not a matter of "IF", but "WHEN".

OK. You and others have made this argument before (conflating opponents of Trump, which is a combination of liberals, moderates, independents and even some conservatives ac “leftists”, conflating American progressives and Black Lives Matter with Antifa, conflating all of it with violence and terrorism.) I’ve never been sure how much of it is trolling and how much of it is seriously believed which is why I asked. It’s false, dangerous, and stupid.

They have convinced themselves that the crowds will be mostly Antifa and radical leftish agitators/anarchists (although that has no basis in either fact or reality).

I'm sorry the truth is painful for you, but it must be said.  Your side LITERALLY killed and tried to kill  the two most prominent conservatives in the last year alone.  Violence is your side's calling card when you're not in power.  Own it.

Your side doesn't like differing views and they have become radical to stop it no matter if they have to kill people, loot business and destroy things to get it.

[The Real timschochet 7,326]

If there is any violence today at all it will be from ICE, along with possible individual  MAGA types trying to provoke a response. Hopefully we won’t give them one. Martin Luther King, Jr., when leading nonviolent protests, always warned about this sort of thing. Back then the southern racists like George Wallace made the exact same arguments @EternalShinyAndChrome is making now: that the civil rights protestors were all leftists who hated America and wanted violence. The rhetoric was eerily similar. Then they would try to provoke that violence.

You guys blame ICE when your mail doesn't arrive on time.  Sorry pal, but everyone knows you're trying to distract and get out ahead of it by pre-blaming the violence your side is going to start.  It ain't working.

I should have learned a long time ago that it’s pointless to argue with you. When one attempts to break down how terribly wrong you are your only response is to double down. Oh well. 

I think that what actually happens today will destroy your arguments in real time. I hope you’re man enough to at least admit it after the fact. Not holding my breath though.

Except I'm not wrong - YOU'RE wrong. 

How deluded are you to think that you're the one telling the truth and everyone else is just wrong?  C'non, Tim.  While I do like you, the fact that people don't buy into your BS doesn't mean they are wrong.  It means they aren't buying your BS.  You're asking us to deny what we're seeing with our own eyes and hearing with our ears.

If there is burning and looting or violent activity  today or tonight by protestors I will come here and admit that I was wrong  about what would happen. 

If none of that occurs will you admit that you were wrong?

I’m not feeling it today. Thankfully, the large majority of fires end up being trash and vehicles.  If anything pops off around here, I’m guessing it will after the “official” protests die down.  The agitators enjoy working under the cloak of darkness.

Sure. 

And by "violent activity", let's clarify that, what do you think is the minimum to declare "violent activity"?

Well the last “No Kings” protest was 99.5% nonviolent: 

https://wagingnonviolence.org/2025/08/new-data-shows-no-kings-was-one-of-the-largest-days-of-protest-in-us-history/

when you have this many people protesting in so many cities there’s always going to be a few isolated incidents. But if you’re expecting a repeat of the George Floyd riots (not to be confused with the George Floyd peaceful protests) or 1/6/21, not gonna happen.

So, again, what would it take for you to consider it "violent activity"?  For example,, if you say someone has to be murdered then that's not realistic or tenable.

[The Real timschochet 7,326]

Im going to be at the Huntington Beach Pier today. Now the last time there was a large gathering at the Pier it was a vigil immediately following Charlie Kirk’s murder. Unfortunately things got ugly because a group of Neo-Nazi skinheads showed up holding signs blaming blacks, Jews and undocumented immigrants for what happened to Kirk and attacking the police and peaceful bystanders. “White men fight back”. 

https://beachgrit.com/2025/09/white-men-fight-back-protests-erupt-in-huntington-beach-in-wake-of-charlie-kirk-murder/

But that was a right wing gathering. Hopefully none of these idiots show up today.

I was caught in the middle of the Rodney King riots in 1992. I didn’t see any murders, but I saw, directly in front of me, plenty of looting and burning. I would call that violent activity. I don’t anticipate that today.

Even if it happens in one location?

I would consider this violent activity:

• Anyone gets murdered or assaulted - even if it's one person
• Businesses get looted - even if it's one business
• Protesters clash with authorities - even if it's one location
• Protestors block traffic for normal citizens - even if it's one location
• Fires get started - even if it's at one location
• City blocks get seized - even if it's one location

"Peaceful Protests" are just that - peaceful.  There should be ZERO issues anywhere.  Even in your example above where you quoted 99.5%, that's still .5% violent.

@EternalShinyAndChrome, beware the word "protestors."  I think Tim used that specifically so he can differentiate later between protestors and rioters.  He's already laying the groundwork.
