Standing for women - Portland rally cancelled over violent threats

[ArabellaScott]

Not quite sure what's happened - seems there were credible threats to women's lives over these protests.

Now it seems a few women went ahead and met up and were attacked. (Nobody seriously hurt as far as I can tell)

Hoping everyone is safe and well.

I have also seen allegations that she maced an undercover cop.

I think he said something along the lines of it would cause problems for him if he tried to do so, and that it was 'important' for them that they see this, but I can't recall the exact wording

A DBS check is required to get an SIA licence.

Anyway it appears security came from a well known right wing company run by anti-vaxxer and Christian patriot Kyle Sims.

And at least one supporter was open carrying at the recent event.

Well then she'll probably get arrested then?

Lots of allegations flying around right now, but nothing in the way of proof. So let's wait and see.

Including this:

To which I add: so?

Principal on film:

And is she the only woman at that event that was acting aggressively to the intimidation of a 'literally' screaming mob who was spitting, running up behind speakers with the intention to harm them, carrying huge fucking sticks, and some of them also carrying spray cans, assaulting women with signs to their legs, or breaking women's fingers?

Is she the only woman at that event who reacted to the overly agressive tactics of the mob?

Oh, apologies, that was a still of the principal.

He's here on film, from 46 minutes in. Red jacket.

The free society is dead. Buying any service from a person of the wrong political persuasion is now enough to get you cancelled and your viewpoint invalidated.

Don't be so childish.

Why did you bring it up then?

Childish? I‘m not the one trying to make a point by stating that the ihres Security firm is run by a Christian.

To which I add: so?

Strange choice for a women's rights group to engage a security company run by a right wing pro-lifer that's all. And hardly a neutral non partisan choice which might have been more appropriate in the wake of allegations that children had been seriously assaulted by members of her group.

Hired not ihres, thanks spellchecker.

I don't understand why it would be a strange or 'non partisan' choice. They are providing security. How does the company owner being right-wing, a Christian or an anti-vaxxer affect that?

Are they hiring these men for healthcare, or to protect them from violent, masked thugs?

So, plug in Tollefson Plaza into google maps and it seems that this school Tacoma School of the Arts is a block or so from that square.

Something is really not quite adding up here. Could it be that these students deliberately walked more than a block to get to the Tollefson Plaza? That they deliberately sought to be there?

Not that that is an issue. But the way they behaved by joining the mob IS an issue.

Or is the security firm providing advice on morality?

Some real "throw lots of mud at the wall and see if we can get any of it to stick" going on here.

I definitely want all my security guards to be liberal atheists with a grounding in the principles of Buddhist thought and the rights and wrongs of a free market economy.

livvy your world view is totalitarian. Just like the mob‘s that was threatening the women and tried to muffle their free speech, actually.

Yes. I especially like the 'lots and lots of allegations are being made'. If only we had the ability to add ominous music to posts.

Lots of - I will defend my side no matter what they do - here.
Bear macing kids? They deserved it.

Have you ever met a child?
Kids let out of school at lunchtime, maybe walking home for lunch - common in many parts of America. Hear women talking through a megaphone and see a small crowd. Kids go to see what is happening. This is how children behave. They are curious.

Do you check the political alignments of every company you purchase services from?

Do you go and check all their social media? Including the person at a till in the supermarket?

The accusations about these incidents are becoming even more desperate.
