Over the summer there were the usual marches and protests full of angry young Americans making a lot of noise, taking to the streets to make their opinions known. At times things would get out of control and there would be some violent incidents, but these were mostly chalked up to extremist groups who caused destruction and chaos all in the name of injustice.
Then there were some people who took things to a whole other level in 2020, such as those who decreed areas autonomous zones in cities like Portland and Seattle, where young liberals looked to take over control of certain parts of the city like something out of a Purge movie.
In Portland, these acts of alleged freedom remain, and they are now being protected by armed guards.
A group of protesters barricaded in Portland, Ore., in and around what’s known as the “Red House” seemed to be setting up for a long fight, a guest told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night.
A group of Antifa activists recently set up an “autonomous zone” in a two-block radius around a house in north Portland that was lost to foreclosure after a two-year battle, guest Jason Rantz, a Seattle radio show host, told Carlson during an appearance on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

“And right now they are barricaded. They’ve got a stockpile of weapons. They’ve got armed guards. They’ve got a kitchen ready,” Rantz said, “so they’re there for the long haul as the Portland police department are trying to figure out what exactly they’re going to do.
“But [police] are amplifying the urgency of the messaging, saying, ‘You guys have to leave peacefully, we’re not going to put up with this.’ So we could potentially see action from the police within the next 24 hours.”
Portland’s Mayor said earlier in the week that he gave law enforcement authorization to rectify the issue by any means necessary.
