No Trump did not send troops to Portland to arrest manage chaos
The left wing media and activists are saying Trump has sent troops to manage the protests and chaos in Portland. In every scenario I've seen, they are trying to protect federal property and the protestors ARE COMING TO THEM.
In most cases the troops are behind barriers or protecting entry ways to federal properties. These people are attempting to vandalize property, commit arson and some attempting to cause bodily harm to troops. If anyone is concerned about the troops in Portland I have a dumb question, "Why don't they protest peacefully? Or..*gasp* just leave them alone?"
You can see almost in every instance that the properties they are protecting have been damaged or vandalized before they got there. Is the president supposed to just sit idly by and let these thugs do this or is he allowed to protect properties funded by our hard earned taxpayers dollars?
The troops are allowed to protect their base of operations, and themselves from bodily harm right? Or is that laughably wrong? How are people going to claim being victims when it's they who are on the offensive???
Trump threatening to send troops into Chicago to stop neighborhood violence is more concerning than what's happening in Portland with these over white thugs.

Unfortunately, "spectacle" is now the best way to describe Portland's protests. Vandalizing government buildings and hurling projectiles at law enforcement draw attention — but how do these actions stop police from killing black people?' Mondainé asked. ' What are antifa and other leftist agitators achieving for the cause of black equality?'
'I am not suggesting retreat. Instead , I am proposing that we take the cause of Black Lives Matter into those places where tear gas and rubber bullets and federal agents cannot find us, and where there is less risk of spectacle distracting from our true aims.
'In boardrooms, in schools, in city councils, in the halls of justice, in the smoky backrooms of a duplicitous government — that is where we will finally dismantle the gears of the brutal, racist machine that has been terrorizing black Americans and hollowing out the moral character of this nation since its inception.'
'I see something else: a beneficiary of white privilege dancing vainly on a stage that was originally created to raise up the voices of my oppressed brothers and sisters... As the demonstrations continue every night in Portland, many people with their own agendas are co-opting, and distracting attention from, what should be our central concern: the Black Lives Matter movement.'
I'm mean...duh. People on the right have been pointing out this very same thing for weeks. Maybe the white leftards will listen to a true member of the movement. Let's make it all about Trump though...

Why are the troops even there? It is asking for trouble to have troops and civilians together in one place. Things are bound to escalate

Trump sent those troops to Portland because he's an authoritarian that hates freedom and is just itching for martial law.
Wait he did NOT send troops?
Trump doesn't have the balls to enforce law and order while anarchists run rampant.

Have you not been watching what's happening in Portland? They've been rioting and destroying property there for over 60 days now.
They aren't singing Kumbaya in a circle and holding hands. They are throwing projectiles at police officers and setting federal buildings on fire.

They are there to protect federal property payed for by hard working taxpayers. That's why. Or does the federal government need to back down under the terrorist threat of more violence and destruction if an attempt to protect taxpayer property is made?
The troops are not even going to the terrorists. The terrorists are coming to the troops, then claiming victimhood when there is an inevitable response. What kind of bizarro world are we living in. Stop destroying federal property. Stop attacking and antagonizing federal agents. Protest peacefully. Leftards acting like that's simply too much to ask

No sir. If I'm going to listen to 80s metal, it will have to be from the industrial perspective like Ministry. Or punk rockabilly like Social Distortion. I have friends and relatives that listen to the hair bands, but I could never get into that era.

What about their cops? FBI? SWAT? etc
Perhaps even state national guard

They had over a month to protect federal properties but didn't do anything. Have you seen the buildings the troops are protecting? They are full of graffiti, boarded up windows because they've been broken, fire damage etc. If they were doing their jobs, the feds wouldn't need to step in...but they weren't so don't go saying they could protect federal property when they SHOULD have in the first place if they didn't want the feds to step in. I'm no fan of an overreaching federal government but protecting federal property and interests is harmless unless you are an idiot looking to vandalize or just plain looking to fight with the government
