IRT Michael Mills, the proud liberal: your letter evoked a myriad of thoughts and emotions in me. I finally chose amused.  Nonsensical blathering and not intelligent enough to recognize writing rubbish.  Hmmm, now who could that be applied to?  BTW, that Portland wacko did not start the violence in that event. He was verbally abusing the Muslim woman (which I don't condone) and not physically threatening her.  When the three white knights  came to her to her rescue and attacked him, he acted in self defense. This will come out at the trial. He may get off.
