Women physically (many middle aged and older) attacked by transactivists in Portland.

[Delphinium20]

Multiple women have been injured following an attack by men in Portland after women organized a WDI meeting at a county library. I'm absolutely disgusted that the police didn't arrive to protect these women's First Amendment rights to freedom of speech (though not at all surprised because in many US cities, the police don't care/are understaffed/overworked/dealing with gun violence). https://twitter.com/WDI_USA

Your original comment was as clear as mud, your update even more pointless.

@junbean , I meant only specifically what I said and nothing about the other details. I won't take part in any discussion disparaging trans persons. I was merely correcting the parts I mentioned.

Hmmm, does that mean it is only a crime depending on who the perpetrator is? Justice would be a casualty to such cronyism.

This is horrific, what brave women. The assailants are smart if they are attacking the cameras. For their violence to shock the nation it would probably need to be filmed, so they wear masks and steal or smash cameras. Evil.

Christ. I hope all the women are okay.

Right Side of History my arse.

Are you saying that this was 'trans' people attacking the women?

How do you know this, and is this not linking 'trans' people with violence against women?

I'd suggest that is quite disparaging of 'trans' people in itself.

I saw some fairly jubilant tweets (or whatever they're called now) earlier. So they're definitely not sorry.

Ugh,those poor women. We were in Oregon fairly recently and we're planning to visit Portland,but decided against it at the last minute. Probably a wise decision,I wouldn't want my teenage daughters in a city that fails to protect women.

This tallies with the footage I've seen of Portland. The drug use, homelessness and gun violence appears to be out of control. The police do nothing.

I'm sure some people will claim that only 'part' of Portland is like that, but given the online videos I've seen, there's no way I'd set foot in that city.

Was just looking at some reports on this on Twitter, as I still think of it. What an utter disgrace. I can't believe the majority of the US population would support or be indifferent to violent attacks against women, especially older women, on the streets of a major city, carried out in the main by males, simply because the women wanted to meet to discuss male violence and threats to women's rights. So why aren't the populace speaking out?

The footage I have seen is just horrific. And the old favourite of ‘cream pie’ seems to have been thrown again.

I read elsewhere that Oregon is considering an about turn on its 'liberal' (insane, imho) drug policy, because it's a disaster. It seems to me this is all part & parcel of the same thing.

Men everywhere are rejoicing in the new opportunities to gaslight, groom and assault women and children.

Portland is fucked.

I lived in Portland for a few years about 20 years ago and it was honestly the most fabulous place to live back then. It's so depressing what happened to it. Most of my friends have left the city now.

Yep.

That stuff is swivel-eyed levels of misinformation and falsehood - it’s written in a very inflammatory tone, all the better to gee up the excitable troops obviously. With that level of 'discourse' some poor woman is going to be hospitalised by the thugs using that propaganda as their excuse. And, it being the US, someone might be shot.

Totally irresponsible, ageist and deeply misogynistic behaviour from those who’ve convinced themselves they’re on 'the right side of history'.

Be kind - or else.

I've seen some posts on facebook from women who were there and in addition to the violence, apparently many had their mobile phones stolen. (To make sure no video clips of the attack were available?)

Some are appealing for help to buy new phones. Not sure how those of us here in the UK can help, but am really shocked by this.

Also, wasn't there a time, where people were not allowed to walk round the streets masked (ie no covid masks but face covering, usually black)? Surely before these thugs even got to the Library, they should have been stopped by the police. Its obvious that anyone dressed like this is intent on violence.

Bloody hell

I don’t know why we keep seeing this and can’t change what’s causing it

The guys on the Fleccas Talks channel made a very good observation. Whenever trans people get upset they tend to return to their iriginal gender.
So whenever a trans man gets misgendered, nine times out of ten they make a yt clip breaking down in tears about it. Meanwhile whenever a transwoman is misgendered they become hypemasculine about it (see "THAT'S MA'AM OR WELL TAKE IT TO THE CAR PARK!" or to Ben Shapiro " Be careful what you say or you'll go home in an ambulance" 😅

I'm originally from Portland and I went back a few months ago to see family. It had been a few years and I was shocked at how this once beautiful city has been turned into a hell hole thanks to 'progressive' democrats. Drugs and homeless everywhere, Downtown emptied of businesses due to crime. I found out they elected a DA who refuses to prosecute shoplifting. Also, the police budget was drastically reduced (thanks to Defend the Police) and the result was that gun crime rose massively. Most of the gun deaths are minorities. There are lots of these woke types there who refuse to believe it's their broken policies and authoritarian intolerance that are ruining the city. That city should warn anyone off of progressive politics. Those they claim to defend are thrown under the bus for their nutcase ideology.

The police weren't interested from start to finish. It's pretty lawless there when it comes to rioting etc.

As @Helleofabore said there was a previous event where women were attacked, this followed the pulling out of KJK in her American tour because she was directly and credibly threatened with death by Portland trans activists. Some of the women decided to hold an event anyway and were attacked.
