Proud Boy Arrested On Six Felony Charges In Portland

Proud Boy Arrested On Six Felony Charges In Portland


The morning after President Trump gave a shoutout to the Proud Boys at the first presidential debate, a member of the controversial right-wing group was arrested in Portland, Oregon, on 12 charges, including multiple felonies for assault and unlawful use of a weapon, and misdemeanors for pointing a firearm at another person, menacing and the unlawful use of tear gas.

County Sheriff is charge, you are going to see those thugs brought to justice. While the new Portland Police Chief seems to be a decent person, he has a rotten department under him that needs to be cleaned up.

The part of the Antifa straw man that I find most hilarious is that the citizen MAGAT has to identify themselves as a fascist, even subconsciously, in order to deem Antifa one of their arch enemies.

It's like they live politics in the cartoon section of their brains.
