Black Lives Matter protesters in Prineville, Ore., face off with counterprotesters after an online argument between a protester and the police chief.Shortly after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, 28-year-old Josie Stanfield organized a Black Lives Matter protest in the Central Oregon town of Prineville, home to about 10,000 residents. Fewer than 1% are Black.
"I spoke to him yesterday, and he was apologetic. I don't see that being an issue further," Capt. Larry Seymour replied through the department's Facebook account. Across the street, a crowd waved flags: American flags, pro-police flags, Trump 2020 flags, and the Confederate flag. They chanted:"Go home, commies, go home." One woman's T-shirt read:"Lying Josie has got to go."More than a dozen members of the Oregon Three Percent Zone 5 militia showed up. Some carried assault rifles and zip tie handcuffs. The zone leader, Jerrad Robison, said some people from the flag side of the street had asked them to come and keep the peace.
Maybe they thought like all other peaceful protests this one might devolve as well if there wasn’t a firm hand placed on their knee. riots Election2020
Fuck NPR
Yeah, we don’t want any of those left wing extremist terrorists burning shit and hurting people here. They should all be rounded up and put in jail on terrorism charges. Rioting isn’t going to get them sympathy here 🖕🏻 FuckBLM
Liberal Trump-hating NPR and Marxist BLM is not going to stop great American patriots from defending their rights!
BLM is a domestic terrorist organization
Not even trying to hide the lies anymore about bashing the conservatives, huh, Oregon is located on the West not in the Southeast, so no, there weren’t Confederate flags there.
Could be that folks just don't want their houses burned down, couldn't it?
Imagine that, backlash by a community being publicly accused of racism but NO incidents of it. NPR publishes an activist's accusations without investigation. If we can just pit blacks against whites, men against women, and rich against poor, then maybe the left can take power.
Check out facebook posts in Florida. Trump supporters frequently drive by these protests shouting obscenities and threatening people. They are quite vile.
That is why Biden supporters do seem enthusiastic. Trump thugs harass us.
A second trump term will bring a lot more of this vigilante driven unrest.
This is ridiculously unacceptable.
Blm is a trained marxists hate America group. Just in case NPR forgot to tell you.
“Racial justice protests” LMFAO!
Too late to try to tell lies. We’ve already watched BLM destroying property and terrorizing citizens for most of the year now.
I call BULLSHIT. I do not believe this liar. If there were confederate flags, we would have seen pictures and/or video. Activists like this are seldome satisfied with what actually happened. They always have to fabricate something extra.
No one is surprised, you only need to understand Oregon’s Racist History.
And she should. Nobody wants that crap in their neighborhood.
You don't say!?!? So Josie's neighbors weren't to keen on her inviting all that crazy into their community? Putting their loved ones, homes and businesses at risk so some little troublemaker could make a political statement? They should have bought her a bus ticket to Oregon!
Because you can't support Trump on any valid merit, his supporters resort to harassment and intimidation.
Ok, now do an article with what happens when conservatives try to demonstrate Oh wait, I forget conservatives aren't allowed to have any type of protest without a counter protest. It's almost as if freedom of speech only applies to dems
Counter-protesters are just there to make sure BLM remains peaceful, because 'Mostly Peaceful' hasn't been working very well.
Only police who are cowards shoot unarmed citizens.
So you want to be able to protest without others protesting their cause Don't work that way NPR. And BLM wrote the book on protest violence
Maybe black lives matter as a organization isn't welcome there maybe the chaos that comes with black lives matter as an organization also isn't welcome there.
Confederate flags for real? I never understood how brothers went to war against each other? Today’s hate filled rallies explains how. Come on USA gotta do better 🙏🇺🇸
Liberal Trump-hating NPR and Marxist BLM is not going to stop great American patriots from defending their riots!
Very first sentence is incorrect. Police didn’t kill Floyd. He died while in custody. What happened to a trial and due process?
Well yeah. Probably worried about their town being scorched.
Don't start shit you're not willing to finish....
Y'all gonna report on this suppression of the freedom of the press or no?
Who is born blue?
Ah, confederate flags in the classic southern state of *checks notes* Oregon?
Democrats value the freedom provided by the FirstAmendment - within which is codified the most essential rights for a democracy aside from the right to vote itself. Confederates/GOP value faux-safety provided by the SecondAmendment which is not associated with democracy.
Good not everyone wants BLM on their doorsteps
This is precisely what will happen if the “woke” keep up their crusade.

Sounds like untrue news.
Hatchet piece. NPR, we know what you are.
Trump invited the racist and bigots out into the open
Because social justice is code word for fascist puppets
Trump and Putin must be so proud.
Confederate flags in Oregon. Trump supporters are the dumbest.
Poor little Josie, don't mess with people. ADVICE! Free!
So many support the killing of unarmed blacks. It is rather shameful.
Interesting how Chris Wallace doesn't think the candidates need to address white supremacist rural violence.
Rural Oregon is a very strange place.
Oregon is such a beautiful state. I hope it chooses to be a place where black and brown people can be seen as equal. This is the 21 st century after all. Come on white Oregonians! This is your chance to get the f over it. Race is a construct.
Good. Start shit get shit.
Shouldn't you folks be encouraging the looting? Isn't that your thing?
The power is with the guy or gal with the PEN. TEXT YOUR CONGRESS MAN WOMAN TWEEY THEM . 50 times per day
Black people are going to fight them. We are not illegal immigrants and we don't really care that some racists don't like it. So there will be conflict. We just don't know our place.
Nobody wants that in their neighborhood.
People are getting sick of BLM riots.
so racists in Oregon feel emboldened to speak out against racial equality? wonder how this could have happened...
BLM is a Marxists organization. People are waking up. We don't want communism. NPR (National Propaganda Network).
Civil rights include the right to peaceful protests. Personal threats are illegal so find those responsible and arrest them.
Democrats want everyone taken out.
Such threats are a different aspect of the cancel culture the Left uses to ruin people's lives.
NPR acts likes it is strange that people don't want their communities and livelihood destroyed by rioters.
Oregon has a serious right-wing-extremist problem
Blue lives matter? All jobs matter!
The Apex of Anger Era. Who will do the right thing first?
UNITE AMERICANS 👇please read/print/distribute/rt/etc.
This is proof institutionalized racism exists.
Ok just gotta ask one more time what is a blue life?
