If you are going to do street level reporting in a town where Antifa has tacit approval of the political establishment, you need to roll with a decent security package, one willing to throw hands and get arrested. You will NOT be able to do your reporting with one producer, no security, and no willingness or ability to throw fists. The cops won't stop it; they are told not to, and won't jeopardize their pensions by getting involved.
No, this isn't right, and it isn't fair, but it is the current reality on the ground in Seattle and Portland. Learn to deal with it, or stay home.
Or hire some damn muscle, and for fucksake - what is this attitude of being gobsmacked when the right's political enemies are being mean? Of course they're laughing, because the right is a joke. These spiteful mutants basically get to do whatever they want and all they get in terms of pushback is OH MY STARS! IMAGINE IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED!
This just in, Antifa is... ANTIFA IS FUCKING MY WIFE! UnReAL! SO MUCH FOR THE TOLERANT LEFT!
Let this be a lesson to her.
