PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - Groups of ANTIFA agitators surrounded police officers who were responding to a man with a knife in a mental health crisis in downtown Portland, according to the Portland Police Bureau.
Officers were called out to the 300 block of Southwest 4th Avenue at 1 p.m. Friday.
After an hour and a half, the situations were apparently resolved.

This time, the subset of Antifa that was in play is an ‘anti-colonialist’ group going by the name of ‘It’s Going Down’. This group has claimed responsibility for either some or all of the 41 attacks against railways in Washington State. Here’s a photo of a sticker on the back of their vehicle:
This is rich; one of the girls busted in their effort to install shunts on the tracks of a BNSF line worked for the democratics, so there's a direct connection (a shunt, if you will) between democratics and the terror group.
Ellen Brennan Reiche, 27, and Samantha Frances Brooks, 23, were arrested over the weekend by federal authorities in Bellingham, Wash. and charged with committing a terrorist attack on a railroad facility.
She has a great sense of humor, too, as you can see.
Reiche, who identifies as “non-binary” and uses “they/them” pronouns, was the deputy field organizer for Washington State Democrats, according to their now-deleted LinkedIn profile.
At least these two whack-jobs were caught. Some quality time in prison will likely do wonders.

A Bend man was experiencing depression as a result of his failing marriage so he went to his family physician, who counseled him on ways to improve his marriage and prescribed him marijuana and CBD.
The patient now claims in a lawsuit that all along, the doctor, Ronald Rosen, was having an affair with his wife.
So the doctor himself was behind the guy's depression, and actually made it worse. The patient's now seeking over $2 million.

Business isn't booming for the Bangor, Maine police - but they manage to maintain their sense of humor.

The attacker – named by French media as Brahim Aoussaoui – was shot in the shoulder by police and taken to hospital. He had no identity papers on him. He is reported to be a 21 year old Tunisian national who arrived in France via Lampedusa in Italy at the beginning of October.
The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, said the man had said “Allahu Akbar” several times while he was being arrested and handcuffed by police.
He said one of the female victims had been “decapitated” but he had no details of how the two others were killed.
“We have two people killed inside the church … and a third person who was in a bar facing the church where she had taken refuge,” Estrosi said. “Enough is enough … we have to remove this Islamo-fascism from our territory.”
Two more Islamic stabbers were neutralized by police on Thursday as well. Those individuals have attained ambient temperature.

With the unprecedented mental health and financial burdens of 2020, it's not surprising that crime is climbing in New York City. As of Sunday, New York City has seen the number of shooting victims double from the same time period in 2020, according to NYPD statistics. The number of murders has also increased by more than 30%.
"A lot of the time, in areas with high crime, there is a lack of resources already, and lack of jobs or employment, and mental health issues," said Gamal Willis, manager of Court Advocacy for Avenues for Justice in New York. "Compound that with the pandemic, where people can't access mental healthcare ... What has happened is our young people can not get those resources, so they're self-medicating, whether that be with alcohol, whether that be with drugs. And so this enhances some of what you're seeing as far as crime."
When things are more or less normal, some three million people take public transit each day to get to and from work. But things aren't even close to normal. So ridership's down as opportunities for employment continue to dry up. And with nothing to do and no place to go, crime's the outcome.

But I repeat myself....
A 73-year-old Vietnam veteran out holding a sign supporting President Trump was assaulted on Saturday, according to local reports in Massachusetts. Douglas police report they have arrested 34-year-old Kiara Dudley, of Douglas, and charged her with assault and battery on an elderly person causing injury.
If the left is willing to violently beat supporters of Donald Trump in a public setting when they don’t have power, how emboldened do you think they will be with the knowledge that the executive power to enforce the laws is in the hands of their allies?

Joe Biden suggests police officers be trained to de-escalate situations involving dangerous suspects by shooting them in the leg. The Democratic presidential nominee made the controversial contention during a Thursday town hall moderated by ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulus.
Rather than shoot to kill in self-defense, Biden proposed wounding them instead.
Of course, I'm not a cop and so it's not up to me...however, one of my uncles was an L.A. cop for a long time. He believed in going for center-mass if shooting is necessary. Joe apparently is unaware of the fact that it's hard to hit a leg. Moreover, if one did manage to aim for a leg and hit it, chances of hitting the femoral artery are high are high. In which case the perp will bleed out in minutes.

The federal government has set an execution date for convicted murderer Lisa Montgomery, scheduling what will be Washington's first execution of a woman in nearly 70 years. Montgomery in 2004 strangled to death Skidmore, Missouri resident Bobbie Jo Stinnett, after which she cut open Stinnett's body and removed her unborn baby before fleeing with it.
As murders go, it must be admitted that this one was exceptionally grisly. The baby was recovered alive and returned to its father, which appears to have been the only positive event in the entire sequence.
Evidently, it has been determined that Lisa's not a candidate for reform and rehabilitation, so off to the gurney she goes.

Rather than create entirely on its own all the parts of the mobile operating system that has now come to be known as Android, Google elected to use more than 11,000 lines of coding from Oracle’s Java to make it run.
They didn't bother with stuff like licensing; they just lifted it. In executing this theft, they willfully violated a number of laws - not the least among which was federal copyright law, which covers computer code in addition to most other works.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Google v. Oracle on Oct. 7. The case involves several legal issues, all of which boil down to one principal question: Did Google cheat and steal its way to the top? While a decision on the case isn’t expected for a few months, the justices’ pointed questioning at the Big Tech giant points to the answer being a clear and resounding yes.
Personally, I don't use Google; I use DuckDuckGo for searches. Google tracks everything you do on the internet, DDG doesn't. While I don't do anything nefarious, I prefer privacy to snoops, so DDG is my default engine. I also use a virtual private network that tells anyone snooping that I'm in Seattle.
It's been ten years of legal wrangling between Google 's parent company and Sun Microsystems (which did the original Java coding before disbanding and turning the code over to Oracle), but it seems that the ducks have finally come home to roost at SCOTUS. It couldn't happen to a more deserving company.
