Update: I watched the full video of what he said and now I really do believe he’s just genuinely that stupid and thinks he’s actually trying to put down a riot. Fox News really plays him like a fiddle.

Portlanders are pretty sarcastic and many people have posted videos of “life in hell” (his audio) set against a beautiful Pacific Northwest summer with boats and farmer’s markets.

I dunno, I’m inclined to think mockery in this case might be the best response for the time being. We’ll see how next month’s protest goes, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were entirely peaceful.
