90% of this shit goes on in Portland since mayors elsewhere have learned that having Weimar Republic LARPs every week in their cities is bad for business and their city's image so they let their police do the job of taking the tards off the streets. The mayor of Portland doesn't give a shit about this and makes sure his police don't do a thing. If someone actually shot these fucks in self-defense, all you'd see is every political group in Portland and probably the whole state of Oregon which isn't Antifa get cracked down on while the media lionizes the Antifags killed in the shooting and starts the usual shrieking of EVIL WHITE MAN RADICALIZED BY ONLINE FAR RIGHT HATE GROUPS NAZI INCELS GAMERGATE 4CHAN SHUT IT DOWN they do every time this shit happens. You could be an innocent bystander and legal concealed carry holder who gets sucker punched to the ground by an Antifag while his 6 buddies kick the shit out of you for the crime of being too close to them and if you managed to grab your gun and start shooting then Antifa would be in the right and you're an automatic Nazi incel terrorist worse than the entire KKK and Proud Boys combined. They'd try as hard they could to nail you with first degree murder charges, they'd send their goons to harass you wherever you went (since the media would have your face and name everywhere), they'd get a bunch of SPLC lawyers working pro bono to sue you and your family for millions of dollars, and they'd everything they could to get you to neck yourself and by extension convince everyone that Antifa are the greatest heroes in America for defending the country against people like you.
