Listening to the father's words, he is either unaware of how radicalized his son has become since moving to Portland, and/or, he is an enabler of that extremism.

Insane that tourists taking the Self-Guided Tour were held for YEARS but mutts like these get released without bail.

Democrats understand state power and how to use it to make lasting changes.

If a majority of this country doesn't see what trouble these people are acting hand-in-hand with the Democratic party like a House of Horrors scenereo instead of worrying about the safety and security of American citizens then I will be ashamed of this country for the rest of my life.

I spent 21 years protecting this country, so that's saying a lot.

I wish the public better understood this, but mainstream media and left-wing media are part of the violent left's disinfo apparatus.

Great and informative article. However if that judge is who he will be tried in front of I doubt he will do time. Portland is beyond hope. A fence or wall needs to be constructed around it. The people there belong in Mental Institutions.

I suspect that the federal judges in Oregon will seek to do whatever they can to give the lightest punishment possible for any suspect who is convicted.

That is so unfortunate and unjust. They clearly have no regard for law abiding citizens and are only concerned with Anarchists. They hate our country.

Is there anyway to make these Federal Judges take violent crimes seriously?

Not really. They get appointed by Democrats and then stay there for years and decades. Impeaching a federal judge is extremely difficult to be successful at. That’s why nothing has happened to the openly biased and compromised federal judges who have overstepped their power against the U.S. government currently.

Excellent reporting! It is interesting that so many of these violent radicals are products of wealthy families. Apparently they aren't bright enough to notice that they are functioning entirely as defenders of the same ruling elite, whose lifestyle requires the exploitation of large numbers of people of color as household servants, restaurant and agricultural workers. The Democratic Party has returned to its roots as the party that fought for slavery.

Did you see the videos posted by Hoopes and his family and friends? This is where the true white privilege resides.

Yes, omg! I am from Pennsylvania and am familiar with the area where they live. Many of the Quakers are descended from families who were invited there by William Penn.

The only violent people in the J6 riot were the police. One trespasser was shot and killed by a cowardly officer in plain clothes, and the other was beaten to death by a female officer in uniform. Both events were videotaped. It is quite a contrast to Portland. The stones/concrete debris that our full of goodness rioter threw at the ICE officers were of such a size that his intention must have been great bodily harm trending to death. Quaker goodness?

Andy, we all know about the CNN’s and MSNBC’s of the leftist liberal media, but why does the mainstream media in general lean towards liberals? It’s obvious after this last election that most Americans are not interested in liberal media. Even HBO seems to taunt their viewers with liberal programming. It doesn’t make sense for them to go against the vast majority of Americans when viewership impacts their ratings.
