Apparently, the real problem in Portland Saturday night was not that a Trump supporter was murdered for being a Trump supporter. Nor is it that the city was patrolled by a mob poised to assault anyone who challenged the control it had been exercising over parts of the city for months. The real problem is that Trump supporters chose to challenge the mob by entering a city they had every right, as American citizens, to enter, and that some of them shot paintballs at the mob that was already enraged by their very presence.
This is the message of the Democratic Party and the media: if mobs want to run our cities, let them.
