MAY 30, 2017
Tensions continue to mount in Portland following the stabbing deaths of 23-year-old Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche and 53-year-old Rick Best. The attack also left 21-year-old student Micah David-Cole Fletcher was injured after they tried to stop him from yelling anti-Muslim and racial slurs at two women on the MAX train.
The city is now a powder keg with protesters everywhere. As a result, a top Oregon Republican has stated he is considering using militia groups for security purposes.
Multnomah County Republican Party Chairman James Buchal states that the protests resulting from the recent events have prompted members of the Portland GOP to consider alternative security means and that may include arrangements that do not rely on the local police.
Buchal states –
“I am sort of evolving to the point where I think that it is appropriate for Republicans to continue to go out there and if they need to have a security force protecting them, that’s an appropriate thing too.
There are these people arising, like the Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters,” he added. “We’re thinking about that. Because there are now belligerent, unstable people who are convinced that Republicans are like Nazis.”

The Three Percenters are by definition and by practice –
“…a national organization made up of patriotic citizens who love their country, their freedoms, and their liberty committed to standing against and exposing corruption and injustice.
We are NOT anti-government. In fact, we are very pro-government, so long as the government abides by the Constitution, doesn’t overstep its bounds, and remains “for the people and by the people”. Our goal is to utilize the fail safes put in place by our founders to reign in an overreaching government and push back against tyranny. We are working to preserve the intent of our government as designed. “
The Oath Keepers by definition and by practice –
Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders, who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Oath Keepers reaches out to both current serving and veterans to remind them of their oaths, to teach them more about the Constitution they swore to defend, and to inspire them to defend it.
Sounds a lot like our Founding Fathers to me, like Americans.….you know the kind that loves their country and want to protect it from invasion and criminal corruption and governments run amok? Meanwhile, the mayor of Portland gives a fantastic example of a government official run amok as he calls for a “Trump free speech rally” to be canceled after this most recent incident. Mayor Ted Wheeler wants to revoke the 1st amendment for some portions of American because he claims Trump supporters could “peddle a message of hatred,” according to the AP.
