When a white supremacist named Randy Weaver got into an armed standoff with federal agents that August in the state’s Panhandle, it provided Gritz with his greatest opportunity ever. By negotiating an end to the Ruby Ridge siege after two days on the scene, Gritz once again attained pop-hero status.

At Ruby Ridge, though, Gritz reminded everyone that his heroism had a troubling shadow: As he left the scene and went out to talk to the crowd, he relayed a message from Weaver to the skinheads and neo-Nazis gathered nearby by offering them a stiff-armed Nazi salute.

The far right's bullshitting heroes: Before there was Trump, there was Bo Gritz

One of the central figures of the 1990s Patriot/militia movement passed away last week, but his toxic legacy lives on in MAGA and Trump

Tuesday’s White House press release focuses solely on the “radical left” without mentioning incidents of right-wing extremism in Portland and elsewhere. In 2017, two people were killed and one was seriously injured while defending two young women from white supremacist stabber Jeremy Christian on a MAX train. The 2022 shooting at Normandale Park left two people dead at the hands of a right-wing assailant. And, while the federal government has accused protesters of assaulting Department of Homeland Security officers at recent demonstrations in Portland, some federal agents have used violent force on people protesting peacefully.

“Antifa Hellfire”: Amid Local Uncertainty, White House Attempts to Justify National Guard Invasion of Portland

It’s been a whirlwind few days since Portlanders found out about President Trump’s plan to send the National Guard into the city, with a lot of unknowns about what’s happening and when. Much of the information about the impending invasion of Portland has been delivered by local elected leaders, not through official White House communication. On Tuesday morning, the White House published a press release boasting about Trump’s decision to deploy federal resources to “crush...

I'm old enough to remember that most of this #WarRavaged #Portland schtick dates back to #JoeyGibson and his #PatriotPrayer #AltRight kiddies, based out of #VancouverWA

Clark County Sheriff’s office Sgt. Scott Gilberti said he is not aware of any recently reported hate-speech incidents in Clark County. The resident who sent the photos to The Columbian asked not to be identified and did not reach out to law enforcement about the flyers.

According to data from the FBI, there were 530 reports of hate crimes in Washington in 2022. That year, the Vancouver Police Department reported 113 hate crimes to the FBI.

“I think first and foremost, without knowing what it actually says, it’s impossible for us to evaluate if it meets that free speech threshold or if it meets the criteria for hate speech,” Gilberti said. “I encourage people to reach out to us, but know in doing so that things like this may fall under that free speech category.”

Flyers espousing hate speech left on cars in Hazel Dell

Flyers with racially charged hate messages were left on cars in the Hazel Dell area north of Vancouver Sunday morning.

I am glad that not everyone will forever associate this nice annual parade with the initiation of PDX's nightmarish experience with the fascists & neo-Nazis of Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys (etc), as well as Patriot Prayer nazi Jeremy Christian's murders on the MAX. because I definitely will. https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2024/04/82nd-avenue-of-roses-parade-celebrates-community.html

82nd Avenue of Roses Parade celebrates community

Throngs of people lined the Southeast Portland parade route to take in the marching bands, equestrians, lion dancers, clowns and even a WWII-era tank.

The Patriot Prayer members say they were unfairly investigated by police while the leftists were not, but the detectives they sued are immune, the false arrest claim is untimely and they did not adequately plead other claims.

Patriot Prayer brawl suit flops

PORTLAND — A federal court in Oregon dismissed a discrimination lawsuit filed by two members of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer after they brawled with the left-wing patrons of Cider Riot, a self-styled antifascist bar in Portland, in 2019. The Patriot Prayer members say they were unfairly investigated by police while the leftists were not, but the detectives they sued are immune, the false arrest claim is untimely and they did not adequately plead other claism.

that #frontline doc last night had me reflecting on another #January6 precursor which took place in #PDX.

2018-08-04, PORTLAND:
#PPB had set up a designated safe space for the #altright to hold their klan rally, but were trying to check for weapons as a condition of entering the event area. (fascist facebook influencer #JoeyGibson had been making lots of noise about how it would soon be “time for the guns to come out” in his war against portlanders who don’t appreciate nazis murdering their friends). anyway, the out of town fascists (many of whom later did january 6) just refused to enter and held a larger, armed rally right next to the space until they got treated to the spectacle of Portland Police suddenly-but-predictably attacking the anti-nazi #portland residents with near-deadly force.

2021-01-06, DC:
a similar dynamic took place in #DC on #j6 - lots of the #MAGA fascists didn’t want to go through the metal detectors and have their weapons confiscated in order to watch their would-be dictator give one more of his trademark syphilitic rants, so they just waited nearby until it was time to do the putsch. according to the #J6Committee this made #trump really angry (no joke: because it made the crowd look smaller on camera) and he demanded that the metal detectors be removed.

every time the j6 committee tried to make a capitol police officer into a weepy hero i just really wanted to see their social media footprint from three weeks prior to J6. we all know the political tendencies of US law enforcement. “leopards eating people’s faces party” and all that. #january6 wouldn’t have been possible without the #portland police in particular, since they helped fascists from around the US practice mass assaults against portlanders for 4 years straight. https://infosec.exchange/@risibledog/111860326228423344 #USpol #MAGA #january6 #fascism #j6 #J6Committee #capitolpolice #JAN6
