The Daily Wire had a post on federal authorities in Portland as they detain and remove people suspected of being violent protesters. I saw a video of this a few days ago and had mixed feelings about it. On the chilling side, a bunch of guys dressed up in camo get out of an unmarked car, walk up to someone, take them by the arms and whisk them away. On the encouraging side, someone is doing something.
This article gives better insight. As far as I can see due process is being followed. The arrests are taking place to secure federal buildings and employees. Most of those arrested are released, some are detained. I didn’t catch how many were let go, but it said that 13 were charged. As long as they follow the rules and are enforcing the law I am good with this. It may take a few days for the message to sink in but it will force the enemies of America to change their strategy.
Always think of long term consequences and keep your eyes open. It could escalate with the anarchists coming for you because your local police will do nothing. It may move on to the Feds overstepping their mandate and throwing out due process. The first we can deal with, the second is the real danger. The current lock downs and mask mandates are evidence of that.
Interesting times.
