18 U.S. Code § 231. “Civil Disorders” is a charge defined under federal law as a “public disturbance involving acts of violence which causes an immediate danger of or results in injury to people or their property.” [LINK] Apparently this federal statute is now being used by U.S. attorney’s across the country.
OREGON – Two men and a woman appeared before a federal judge Wednesday in Portland, becoming the first in Oregon to face the rare federal charge of civil disorder for alleged violence during this summer’s turbulent protests.
A Seattle man is accused of launching a ball bearing with a slingshot during a downtown demonstration in July and striking a Portland Fire Bureau medic.
A Portland woman is accused of throwing a helmet that struck a police sergeant in the head last week outside the Police Bureau’s North Precinct.
Another man is accused of repeatedly using a hammer to strike the glass above the front door of the Police Bureau’s East Precinct and elbowing an officer in the face in early August and then throwing frozen eggs and other objects at police three days later outside the Penumbra Kelly Building on East Burnside Street.
The felony cases against Jesse Herman Bates, 38, Michelle Peterson O’Connor, 31, and Krystopher Michael Donnelly, 27, mark a significant detour from past practice in Oregon — federal prosecutors here haven’t used the charge in recent memory. (read more)
Good to see some accountability finally being leveled….
Appeared before a federal judge in… Portland. Hopefully he’s not a member of the Emmet Sullivan Resistance Unit.
Just read this –
The guy who killed the Trump supporter in Portland has now been killed by police in Washington state…..
Finally. Some justice.
It really would be better to take him alive and squeeze him. But for all we know he eat his gun.

Breaking — Portland Killer Michael Reinoehl has been shot dead by police
https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/breaking-portland-killer-michael-reinoehl-has-been-shot-dead-by-police-developing/
George: Good description of some of the federal judges.
I have just about had it.
We took a walk around the area, and somebody has a fabricated sign with all kinds of Leftist preciosities:
“In this House
Black Lives Matter
Science is Real
Water is Life
Women Have a Right to Choose
Human Beings Are Not Illegal
The last two really got me: Women can “choose” to kill their babies, and can do so in 22 states after the babies are born, but “Human beings are not illegal.”
I wanted to paste an addition onto the sign:
“In this house, human babies are not illegal, but they’re just masses of protoplasm who can be flushed down toilets or thrown into garbage bags after being dismembered.”
Are people really so God-awful stupid that they cannot see the massive irony in such a juxtaposition?
I should have added: I chose this topic to demonstrate the bizarre “thinking” of “Black Lives Matter” supporters.
I gotta be honest with you and some may not like it; do we (I) really care if Democrats want to abort their babies? That’s a resounding no from over here. I say have at it. It’s the only result driven program that my taxes pay for. Everything else is feel good platitudes but abortion works. When the enemy wants to hang themselves you will not catch me standing on the rope.
What happens when abortion is forced on the mother ?
Being evil is a choice.
Maybe the baby’s father is not evil.
There is no reason for slaughtering a defenseless human being.
PERIOD.
I think most of the time the women go down there and have it done voluntarily. I’m certainly not in favor of forcing anyone to do anything against their will.
Right now in the US what you say is true. In other countries (China) abortions are forced upon a woman. Do you think that a person who would deliberately seed a long term care facility with active Wuflu patients would be above forcing abortions on a class of people if the thought he/she could get away with it?
I wouldn’t put anything past Andrew Cuomo. He essentially made a death threat against the PotUS.
And murdered 10-12,000 old people.
Not to mention the generations of the aborted babies potential offspring.
The evil that is abortion quietly spreads to everything else, and we end up with the society that we have now. When we ignore evil we are tacitly condoning it, and it becomes our evil.
^^^This
They’re not the enemy, just extremely foolish people, and the are not hanging themselves, they are hanging their families. If we don’t care about abortion, what DO we care about, and why? It is a violent death and completely totally unjust. If we can turn away from that then what priorities remain?
there is killing the already born. g.w. bush and obama each did in about a million people in foreign lands that never attacked us, in nuremberg prohibited aggressive wars that got a dozen nazis badly hanged in said gymnasium at the end of ww2. obama got a peace prize and bragged about being really good at killing people. bush/cheney did 9-11 with a lot of help from the mossad.
Life is from God. God does not make mistakes. There is no justification for killing a life that God has created , regardless of circumstances
There is no guarantee that the children of Communists will also be Communists: they could just as easily reject their parents’ ideology. The Germans have a saying: “No one can predict what the child in the cradle will become.”
There is only one problem….when does Euthanasia start??
There’s a cartoon with a black woman yelling at a MAGA hat guy saying “How can you think that property is more important than black lives?”
Then it shows that they’re standing outside of a Planned Parenthood building.
It’s like a car with a Coexist sticker. If you’re a carjacker, you know it’s safe to take that one because they’re not armed. Same with this house. Invitation to burglars.
They know exactly what they are doing…
It’s an ideology…
What they cannot have, do, or be, they destroy.
They feign empathy for all the worlds ills, yet they are just a smidgen away from being serial killers.
Domestic Terrorists are going to meet Karma face to face. And “she be a b****”.
Hey Antifa go scream to the SCOTUS. Under the color of law the Supreme Court has ruled money is speech.
Therefore under this costs objective linking free speech to money then this SCOTUS ruling of political argument on the exercise of speech of yours should entail a cost.
That is then your speech is not free, but under the guises money is speech requiring a transaction.
So…
Just to whom should communities submit the bill.
Every affected citizen and business should file a claim under this SCOTUS ruling that since money is equivalent to the exercise of the first admendment on free speech.
Therefore Antifa’s exerice there of, should have to answer to a cost analysis.
The ANTIFA riots have spoken, now comes the time for them to pay the bill for their speech.
Basically sue them into oblivion for the outcomes costs of their exercise to the first amendment
You don’t need to be no techno frog to see Antifa’s carries a bill NOT currently being paid.
If I strongly believed in some avenue of action of protest that would result in costing me my livelihood, then that is the inheriant cost to my conduct of free speech as exerised in the SCOTUS ruling. Which essential comes down to an augument money.
What I am saying, is if money is speech, then the application of this understanding should be legally tested in the courts to the fullest extent.
For example, to argue the burning of a building down to ground is protected by the first amendment, then just whom is paying for that speech.
This is not some nitpicking argument, there is in my opinion a valid legal argument to be made here to address the costs suffered by those victim to the ‘de ju outrageousness’
To inflict damages of value on unrelated third parties is in essence a statement of making a cost analysis of the exerice of this speech.
In my view there are many legal grounds for affected citizens of riots, to argue that the SCOTUS ruling that money is free speech to say, outside of any judgement to actions warrenting actions toward protesting, the exerice of first amendment. These actions, and outcomes of said speech entail a COMPACT that said speech has a COST of which is equivalent to spending money, which has been ruled by the SCOTUS to be a perfectly valid arrangement.
What about the financiers and logistics people. The one’s rioting aren’t pulling the strings.
The 17 FIB agents are getting near to being able to wrap up the Bubba noose investigation in a week or three. I hear they will be right on figuring out who is financing/coordinating the riots and murder immediately after they take a well deserved 2 week vacation (the complex noose investigation really worked the team to the bone).
/s
Who would have thunk that those old Mad Magazine spoofs on the FIB were actually not spoofs, but the reality of the incompetence.

GAAH! When I used the long dash, it ran them together. So I used the short one. When it posted, it ran them together! It’s like arguing with a “liberal” – you can’t win…..
And the politicians and media figures abetting the rioters.
It is time to consider those politicians and media figures as ‘enemies of the state’ and hunt them down and prosecute them as well.
A local article on the guy who hit a medic with a ball bearing shot from a wrist rocket:
https://thepostmillennial.com/doj-charges-seattle-man-for-injuring-firefighter-at-portland-antifa-riot
He had a bunch of weapons, flares and what look like explosives on him at the time of arrest.
I LOVED the line about “he was shot in the backside by a non-lethal projectile”.
Black Eyes Matter
No Lives Matter
Yea, but what about the guy who assassinated in cold blood that Patriot Prayer guy. He is still roaming free. He was clearly seen on video being the shooter, and then he admitted on an interview that he shot the guy. When will the authorities arrest him and charge for first degree murder?
Watched the video again on Tucker tonight. Absolutely no justification. Guy was minding his own business and got executed. I don’t care if he WAS a ‘white nationalist’ (which I don’t believe), that’s murder. But all you have to do is throw the ‘Nazi’ slur out there or make the false racism accusation, and it’s literally okay to kill someone. Right Wray? Right Barr? Wouldn’t want to appear to be racist for the DC cocktail crowd because you arrested an ‘anti-racist’ hero for cold-blooded murder.
Cheer up, Tom. That individual has now assumed room temperature.
It was a planned assassination. I’m posting a link of the video that follows the shooter and other “team members” as they carry it out. The video taker was in on it. There was even a guy who used a flashlight to pick up the spent shells.

They need to arrest Michael Reinoehl for the murder of Aaron Danielson.
If they don’t arrest Reinhoehl, Reinhoehl is going to wish he’d been arrested.
Eerie that it seems the spin on this guy started before he died. It’s like someone knew he was going down and began planting the martyr seeds. Concerning…..
Like the Dahlan child you mean?

Crossing state lines? Not good, genius.
He must not be very good at rioting because he obviously gets his butt kicked by someone every time he tries it.
This is that tent city in the video posted above with the ANTIFA people and the story behind it. The city opened the camp in May of 2020.

So the people of Portland are paying to shelter, provide heat and amenities to the terrorists destroying their city. Nice. I would bet Wheeler is using Federal money also, the camps were supposedly built because they needed a place for the homeless during the China Virus shut downs.
A little more info on that camp, It’s an LGBTQ Camp opened in response to COVID-19.

OOps. same as above.
Soros needs to go to jail, and his assets frozen.
BLM assets need to be frozen now, and then class action suits to drain the funds for those whose property was damaged as a result of their so called peaceful protests.
Yes.
Honourable Atttorney General Barr –
George Soros and his sons are known to the large numbers of the US public to be executing an insurrection against the US republic to destroy our country. This has been happening for many years. To add insult to injury, Mr. Soros typically sets up non-governmental non-profit organizations (NGOs) which collect funding from US taxpayers to pay for organizations that are dedicated to destroying the USA and the US Constitution.
George Soros and his “charitable organizations” have been banned from several countries for the same reasons related in the above paragraph.
George Soros, his sons, and his “charitable organizations” are traitorous and seek to destroy the US government.
Mr. Barr, please use the full resources that, We the People, have provided to you to stop George Soros and his organization from destroying the US Republic and the Constitution.
Thanks in advance.
We the People know. Now it is your job to execute the people’s will. Our patience is completely exhausted. Do it now. You know what to do. We need results pretty much instantly. No more “in a month we will be ready to …”
The tree of liberty is very, very thirsty.
Step one: Change the venue to Washington County
They’re just as bad now! Spent most of my life there, but got out before they made THAT illegal, too.
Looks like the US Attorney for Oregon is an Obama holdover.who was reappointed by Trump.
Andy Ngo has been reporting on Rose City Antifa for well over a year and was violently attacked last year. He was hit in the head with a concrete “milkshake” and suffered brain contusions. Harmeet Dhillon has been representing him. She is not impressed with the US Attorney. This is from June 5th.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/harmeet-dhillon-antifa-lawsuit-andy-ngo-portland
You can look under the “News” tab for the US Attorney’s webpage. Not much activity from the feds prior to that lawsuit which happened to drop a few days after the George Floyd incident.
Here is a weak-kneed statement from him on July 17th. Not very encouraging from a law & order perspective.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/pr/us-attorney-statement-federal-law-enforcement-activity-portland
Must be feeling some heat.
Wrong.
Trump FIRED all the Obama people on January 20, 2017 – it’s called Draining the Swamp.
There are no Obama ‘holdovers’ still in position after 4 years of the Trump Presidency.
Seriously, what planet do you live on?
Give my regards to David Brock.
“Billy J. Williams has been the U.S. Attorney and the chief federal law enforcement official in Oregon since May 2015. Williams was re-appointed by President Donald J. Trump on November 17, 2017 to serve a four-year term. He was confirmed by the senate on March 7, 2018 and his presidential commission was signed on March 13, 2018.”
https://www.justice.gov/usao-or/meet-us-attorney
Andy Ngo is reporting that the Antifa shooter is said to have been shot and killed in a confrontation with law enforcement.
Saw this a few minutes ago. My favorite comment was “Rest in pieces.”
My favorite comment was “Rest in piss, commie”
What happened to terrorism charges?
Michael Reinoehl is obviously worried since he’s been doing interviews about how he assassinated Aaron Danielson.
5 days and he still hasn’t been arrested.
Has anyone seen my stapler?
Andy Ngo is reporting he’s dead.
Never mind…he just died in a shootout with police.

Wow, good.
I’m glad they tried to arrest the cocky sob.
From the Olympian:
https://www.theolympian.com/news/local/crime/article245485220.html
Interesting details in theolympian article from eyewitnesses:
“The man got out of his vehicle and began to fire what they believe was an assault rifle at the SUVs. They said they heard 40 or 50 shots, then officers returned fire, hitting the man”.
40 to 50 shots? Sounds like a person with a death wish high on drugs with an ar and a 60 round clip.

Bev: Thank you! I got part way into it (the original post), then it apparently figured out I was hiding (VPN) and blocked me. Interesting that there are already two versions – one the Marshalls did the shooting, the other the perp opened fire. Man! it’s nice to trust the media, ain’ it?

I see the FAR LEFTWING murderer has assumed room temperature. Good job, cops!
Charged, but will they be prosecuted?
Or given community service?
I choose to believe that this Fed tactic WILL ultimately work. Bravo President Trump!! Keep in mind that this insanity is not just solely confined to Portland where the Feds will get involved & arrest/jail/charge these evil bastards.
Let us consider how 1 of these Federal arrests play out. An Evil Bastard is FINALLY arrested & charged. Bail is set. Obstacle #1 Evil bastard must make bail.
No problem you say, there are numerous bail funds available courtesy of Hollywood elite.
OK let’s move on. There is the publicity & as many of these news of arrests hit the news, the evil bastard’s EMPLOYER most likely terminates the Evil Bastard immediately. Say goodbye to your job Evil Bastard as your income stream has been cut off. And equally important, your reputation has been likely permanently ruined. Good luck finding another job as your negative “pub” will surely follow you & best of luck finding a lawyer requiring a serious outflow of $$.
Even if Leftists have an army of attorneys available pro bono, next is the trial & you can bet your god-damn last dollar that the Feds have all the evidence that they need for CONVICTION.
Ah yes, then comes the sentencing. YEARS, MANY YEARS BEHIND BARS!!
The Evil Bastard’s life & reputation is essentially over & do not think for 1 minute that the other thugs now roaming around will not get religion & suddenly realize that their continued evil actions now can carry with them SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.
Hearken back to when 2 YOUNG LAWYERS (1 man & 1 woman) were arrested in NYC for tossing MOLOTOV COCKTAILS into an occupied police vehicle. Thankfully they were arrested/jailed & await trial. Now exactly who among us believes that these to Evil Bastards will EVER be allowed to PRACTICE LAW once they have been convicted & served their time?
And even if they were not permanently DISBARRED what reputable law firm out there would actually hire either 1 of these Evil Bastards after they have served their time?
Now for the aftermath of the Feds’ actions. Once the arrests/convictions/sentences add up I do believe that hired thugs out there will pack it in in DROVES. The rioting/looting/destruction will eventually fizzle out as the Feds flex their legal muscle & start arresting & putting these Evil Bastards on ice for awhile in PRISONS.
Now in many cases, the damage will have been done to cities like Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Chicago, & NYC. And I find it stunning that Dem leadership in these cities/states continue to stab & twist the knife into these cities hearts. NYC in my view is now long deceased. Forget about life support, stick a knife in it. NYC Is GONE.
People leaving in droves, restaurants in NYC not allowed to have indoor dining until SPRING 2021!! ARE YOU F”KING KIDDING ME DeBLASSIO/CUOMO?? Broadway closed indefinitely? Absolutely unbelievable.
Indeed, much of the damage done may well be irreparable. But some cities MAY be able to recover over time.
The Feds MUST clean up the Messes created/allowed by the Dem mayors/governors & the Dems will also pay a heavy HEAVY price @ the polls for many years to come.
For We the People UNDERSTAND what is happening & WHY it is happening & We will NEVER EVER again accept local governments allowing all of this thuggery/violence at even a fraction of amount that we have seen this year!!
They still need to get the rest of that group who are accomplices in cold blood murder.
the leftist’s Death Panel.
A bit different than Sarah Palin foretold. A leftist Death Panel just the same. Or left-wing Death Squad.
“The Squad” no doubt approves.
And the following should make you consider why the DOJ has finally decided to do what is the subject of this column. Interesting timing, no? AND, as I pointed out previously in this thread, it’s a half-a**ed measure at that since what the rioters are doing PRECISELY meets the fedgov’s definition of terrorism.
If, and it is a big if, this scum ever goes to prison I would encourage Netflix to film a documentary on him explaining the ‘Black Lives Matter’ concept to Bubba. And, as a bonus it would give him a previously unavailable opportunity to ‘break bread’ with some genuine white supremacists. Just spitballin’ some titles here, but perhaps something like ‘Black is the New Blue’ or ‘Debunking the Systemic Racist Myth.’ It could be a multi-year series with ratings off the charts.
Travel Act & Bill Barr
Meet the Travel Act by Andrew C McCarthy
Joining President Trump in Kenosha yesterday was Attorney General Barr, who did not mince words about mounting an aggressive federal response to the violence roiling the country. The AG asserted that “radicals” are crossing state lines and “carrying out, planning a coordinated attack on law enforcement, on public property, and on private property. And that can’t be tolerated.”
It is thus worth making a few observations about the Travel Act.

“Civil Disorder”.
Never mind, arson, insurrection and murder, apparently.
They should have enough to be bringing these cases by the thousands!!!
When you sit back and look at the sluggish and mediocre response by the feds it gives a pretty sad picture of the ability (or lack of) for federal forces to quell or remotely respond to a large scale uprising.
Just IMHO, the rot in our Federal agencies from 2009 through 2016 was so deep and wide it will take more time and effort than we thought to correct.
Hmm. I wonder what happened from 2009 thru 2016 …
This is what happens when States and their corrupt AG’s and judges don’t do justice. But there will be consequences for this and they aren’t good. It’s bound to happen some young dummy will do something that really doesn’t merit federal felony charges. Lowering the bar for high prosecutions is not something we want to become regular practice in our society, and you know how the Federal government is. Once they taste power they never let go.
