And no, if there's any glorification going on it is of the antifascists.

Growing up all warm and secure they can't really grasp that “La Retirada”, the escape to the hills (OK France and anywhere) of a half million or more from Franco before he locked the country down (died in 1975) could really happen in the USA.
It really, really, could.
Indeed.
Maybe this should be in "The Lincoln Project" thread?

Promoter for Portland’s ‘Day of Rage’ wants to ‘abolish colonial systems,’ report says
Social media posts have added challenges to Portland police
https://www.foxnews.com/us/key-prom...wants-to-abolish-colonial-systems-report-says
The Twitter handle Generational Resistance, which promoted Sunday night’s “Day of Rage” in Portland that resulted in the toppling of two statues and damage to several buildings, said its ultimate goal is to “decolonize society by working to abolish colonial systems rooted in racism,” a report said
The Oregonian newspaper wrote a lengthy article about the group that started mentioning the protest a day earlier. The paper said the city is having difficulty getting a grip on protesters because social media allows them to organize quickly and coordinate. The report said one of the instructions on Sunday was that videos and photos were not allowed.
Andy Ngo, a journalist who has been documenting the unrest in the city, posted images of Sunday's destruction on Twitter. Ngo posted a video of protesters toppling the statue of Teddy Roosevelt, which depicted the former president riding on horseback. The video showed a rope tied around the statue and protesters could be heard cheering when the statue shifted.
One person could be heard saying, “F--- all you colonizers. Every one of you that’s against Black Lives Matter can f--- the f--- off.”
After toppling the statues, the crowd smashed windows at the Oregon Historical Society and later moved onto the Portland State University Campus Public Safety office.
The paper said the protest—which resulted in three people being taken into custody -- was billed online as the “Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage,” and took place the evening before Columbus Day.
The paper said it reached out to Generational Resistance members and was issued a statement through its Twitter handle Monday night that read, “We stand to decolonize ourselves and decolonize society by working to abolish colonial systems rooted in racism and build community rooted in liberation.”

This is why Minneapolis will not recover - they have idiots like this in the local government.
Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender: Crime Spike Isn’t Connected To Movement To Dismantle MPD
https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020...-isnt-connected-to-movement-to-dismantle-mpd/
Lisa Bender, president of the Minneapolis City Council, is answering WCCO’s questions about crime and safety in the city.
Bender has been criticized by her constituents for not being available or visible during times of unrest in the city. One of those constituents is north Minneapolis resident Liz Cruz, who WCCO spoke with in mid-September.
“Help us, come and see what’s going on,” Cruz said. “We’re not really getting any responses from the mayor or the city council. We feel kind of alone right now.”
Cruz is one of many Minneapolis residents asking for help, and relief, from the gunfire and carjackings. Bender acknowledges what’s happening.
“We have an epidemic of violence that’s affecting young people in our community, and especially young Black men, and we need our whole community to come together to address this violence,” Bender said.

But she says it will take time to find permanent solutions. Some say talk of defunding or dismantling the Minneapolis Police Department led to some of this recent violence. Bender disagrees.
“I stand by the commitment that I made…in Powderhorn Park after George Floyd was murdered by the police. We need a wholly-new approach to community safety in Minneapolis. We need to prevent crime before it happens, and our current system is not working to keep people safe,” Bender said.
Bender and her colleagues proposed a charter amendment that would eliminate the police department and create a new department for community safety and violence prevention. The Minneapolis Charter Commission declined to bring that concept before voters, but Bender hopes to revisit that option next year.
“I think we need to restructure within our city how we’re approaching public safety,” Bender said. “Our experience hasn’t shown that police alone will interrupt these cycles of crime and violence, and that we need a more strategic and effective solution.”
She blames a lack of planning by police and Mayor Jacob Frey, saying their lack of action is forcing the city council to step in.
In a statement, Police Chief Medaria Arradondo says he needs the support of the city council in order to maintain peace and safety.
Former city council member Don Samuels believes Bender’s plan does not address the here and now. He says he and others in north Minneapolis are living in a war zone.
“Your number-one job as city leaders is public safety for the citizens of Minneapolis, your number-one job,” Samuels said. “We are not safe, you’re failing.”
Mayor Jacob Frey tells WCCO he and Chief Arradondo have outlined clear and concrete steps taken to respond to gun violence. He says they have worked to implement policy reforms and allocate available resources where they are needed most.

Federal judge upholds lawsuit against Seattle over CHOP
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/16/seattle-chop-lawsuit-upheld-federal-judge/
A federal district court in Washington upheld a lawsuit against the city of Seattle on Friday, ruling the plaintiffs “plausibly” present a case that they were harmed during the organized protests there in June.
More than 20 businesses and individuals sued the city on June 24, alleging they suffered severe economic losses and were forced to live in fear and among filth for weeks when protesters took over several blocks not far from City Hall, and city officials effectively ceded authority and control to the protesters.
Protesters dubbed their zone the “Capitol Hill Official Protest,” or CHOP. The unrest surfaced days after George Floyd died while in Minneapolis police custody, and became one of the first and biggest of many urban protests over alleged “systemic racism” that often included arson and looting.
The city had moved to toss the lawsuit, but with the exception of an equal protection violation allegation that was dismissed without prejudice, U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly upheld the suit’s other sections and declined to reject potential class action certification of it.
“Plaintiffs plausibly allege that the City’s actions — encouraging CHOP participants to wall off the area and agreeing to a “no response” zone within and near CHOP’s borders — foreseeably placed Plaintiffs in a worse position than they would have been in absent any City intervention whatsoever,” Judge Zilly wrote.
“Their allegations are also sufficient to show that the City acted with deliberate indifference to that danger,” he wrote.
While the situation in Seattle unfolded, Mayor Jenny Durkan tweeted praise and encouragement to protesters, and told national media it could signal a “summer of love.”
