It’s worth noting all the politicians that spent the last few years vilifying antifascists that worked tirelessly to slow down fascist organizing, but for the sake of brevity ill name one of the main culprits, our very own @tedwheeler
There’s so many instances of ted appeasing these scumbags. https://www.kptv.com/news/patriot-prayer-organizer-meets-with-city-leaders-after-mayors-call-to-cancel-event/article_fd597595-db3a-599d-9779-4152c74bcad5.html
. @tedwheeler was and is the police commissioner, they worked hand in hand with the right to neutralize the left https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/disturbing-texts-between-oregon-police-far-right-group-prompts-investigation-n972161
Remember when the proud boys came to town to “end antifa” and “drain the city coffers” well teddie gave millions in police security and gave them one of the cities main bridges https://www.wweek.com/news/2019/08/17/proud-boys-scamper-across-portland-waterfront-but-police-keep-them-far-from-antifascists/
A week after neo Nazi jeremy christian murdered two on a max train, fascists from all over the country came to PDX to celebrate. What did wheeler and his piggies do? Kettle locals trying to stand up to them. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2018/05/portland_police_oversight_repo.html
After RW fascists came to Portland to where they were caught on rooftops with sniper nests, @tedwheeler fascist friendly police kindly let them be and then his police chief went on the fascist Lars Larson show to brag about how they beat up locals https://www.wweek.com/news/courts/2018/08/15/portland-police-chief-says-protesters-went-off-to-whine-and-complain-last-week-because-officers-kicked-your-butt/
Even in the rare instances the out of town RW were arrested they were given very gentle slaps on the wrist while locals fighting back have been given the harshest sentences possible https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2019/11/baton-attack-during-june-protests-in-downtown-portland-lands-man-in-jail-for-nearly-6-years.html
For reference RW brawler Tiny toese who has been on dozens of videos, assaulting dozens of people, received six months for a parole violation https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/10/proud-boy-patriot-prayer-brawler-tusitala-tiny-toese-sentenced-to-6-months-in-portland-jail.html
Portland has always been a major flashpoint for fascist organizing, with the encouragement of trump himself, and there’s a straight line from here to the events in dc. @tedwheeler has been a major factor in helping that along.
Liberal mayors like @tedwheeler will claim there’s nothing they can do about fascists invading their town hellbent on violence because of muh free speech, yet when it comes to the left they will repeatedly try unconstitutional measures to stifle them https://www.opb.org/article/2021/01/01/new-years-protests-oregon/
It’s funny to me that this happened less than a week ago and all @tedwheeler has been talking about is how someone brushed his shoulder last week while he was out spreading COVID at a restaurant https://www.opb.org/article/2021/01/11/man-who-shot-federal-courthouse-in-portland-attended-stop-the-steal-protest-in-salem/
