Newly-elected District Attorney Mike Schmidt, who refuses to prosecute Portland rioters, admits he is “old buddies” with an Antifa militant campaigning to defund the police, abolish prisons, and demand reparations.
The last tweet from @DAMikeSchmidt, the new DA who isn’t prosecuting Portland rioters, is a tweet promoting an interview w/his “buddy,” a militant antifa activist. His friend is part of campaign by communist Angela Davis to defund police, abolish prisons & demand reparations. pic.twitter.com/uWHpAxhJn0
“Just before I was sworn in as DA, I sat down with an old buddy of mine, @AWKWORDrap, for an interview about my priorities as District Attorney and rethinking what public safety means,” Schmidt tweeted.
The hour-long Jul. 21 interview with Schmidt is a first in the series of “social justice leaders” features conducted by a self-described “Anti-Fascist” and “old time buddy” of Schmidt’s, social media personality Awkword.
Awkword leads the Ten Demands for Justice movement, “a roadmap for the defunding and then full abolition of police and prisons.”
Actually, I have to admit here that I have something in common with Antifa. I don’t believe in the prison system either. But something tells me they and I don’t see eye to eye on this.
As I’ve stated before, I believe in the Biblical concept of restitution and retribution. If someone commits a crime worthy of death, he is to be executed. If someone steals from you, he is to become your slave until it is paid back in multiples. So I believe in slavery because the Bible does. God believes in property rights. There is no such thing as a crime against society. All crimes are against specific persons.
As to the new Portland DA, I don’t really care that much. It’s sad, indeed, that so many Portland residents are having to either live through this or move. But the fact is that you voted on each and every council member, the mayor, and the DA. It says so right there in the article. “Newly elected.” I didn’t make that up.
So things in Portland (and Seattle for that matter) are like they are because you, the citizens of Portland (and Seattle), want them to be that way. You’ve said so many times. Who am I to intervene in your knowing and intentional self destruction?

I’ve been saying that too. And it’s by no means just Portland and Seattle. There are communists on the City Council in Denver and the mayor pushed through a law OKing pooping on the sidewalks. Really, WTF? But that’s who was elected. Wash, rinse, repeat.
NYC is being destroyed, just watched video of a guy driving through Manhattan. Block after block of looted & boarded up stores. No one walking about. These stores paid millions in taxes and they’re either closed or gone. Hey, they elected DeBlasio…TWICE. And on & on it goes.
The fact is, there are dozens of cities in this country who have values 180 degrees from the rest of us. Which is fine except these concentrated populations end up controlling large rural areas with onerous laws.
It simply will not continue.

And mean while Nancy and Chuck keep trying to funnel these cities and states your tax dollars. Billion of your tax dollars.

I believe Herschel’s Dictum applies here…
And every where else bolsheviks are attempting to bring down the Republic!

So the commies in Portland voted for the bolshevik filth to keep Antifa alive and well in their community.
Fine. Strike another shithole off the list. I kinda wondered why no one was ever prosecuted for rioting, with everything being documented on numerous videos.
If they are prosecuted for trying to kill someone, it turns into a plea agreement with nothing but probation – like Eric “Bike Lock” Clanton in Berkeley.
I remember Herschel’s dictum every day.
