A group of protesters in downtown Portland lit fires, smashed the windows of businesses, a church and the Oregon Historical Society, and caused other various damage during a destructive demonstration Friday night and early Saturday.(Snip) Protesters began by marching from Director Park through downtown, smashing glass storefronts at locations including the Nike store near Pioneer Courthouse Square, the Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao, a Verizon business and a bank. Some of the demonstrators broke windows at the Oregon Historical Society, whose entrance was previously shattered by protesters who had declared an “Indigenous Day of Rage” in October. Police also said protesters damaged the nearby First Christian

They mention an “Indigenous Day of Rage.” How about letting these people run wild for a year; let any bLACK person commit whatever crime they like, and let the Marxists keep encouraging their puppets to lash out more in the name of social justice. What would happen?

Shouldn't that be: Police declare peaceful protest?

FTA: “. . . . . smashing glass storefronts at locations including the Nike store near Pioneer Courthouse Square, . . . “
Nike forgot to post the “we are on your side” sign on their storefront.

Since these thugs have the tacit, and at times, spoken approval of the governor of Oregon, little will come of this.

"Police declare riot"....blah, blah, blah. If anyone was arrested, they will be released immediately without charges.

"Liberal parenting" has now spawned "Liberal governing". Let the little tykes run wild as children...turns into let the big thugs burn, loot, and murder without consequence. Apparently, Portland voters like it because they keep voting for it. Cool. Burn, baby, burn.

Why don't they call in the water cannons? Or better yet, shoot to kill.

Rename the city: Mortland, seems more fitting.

The downtown area is a cesspool. Human feces and needles scattered everywhere. Tent living downtown is commonplace.
The business association says come on down, everything is fine.
There are walking zombies roaming 24/7. The majority of business owners agree with the fact that it is NOT SAFE. The Mayor and City Council, while handcuffing the police and considering them evil, watch the destruction and try to figure out what to do.
Elections have consequences. The progressive city is transforming from a cesspool to a s??thole. Let the people swim in it.

Boomer here. They all seem like Ernest T. Bass, throwing rocks through windows to get attention. Too bad they are rarely smacked down for their lawless, childish behavior.

Note to the Stupid White Folk who think they are Woke by joining the Day of Rage. In a Second that crowd could turn on ALL of the White folks and beat the Hell out of each and every one of them...just for fun! They could throw them over the Bridge railings and let them Drown, they could push them into a flaming building, just for fun! The Blacks, in this Country, right now think they OWN their city or town. They think (and rightly so because nobody seems to arrest them) that they can slash and burn what ever they want and nobody can stop them. They are out of control! It won't be long before an entire town will be burned to the ground because the people in it are WHITE! Coming to a town near you! These Blacks are acting like Savages! There is no pleasing them and no amount of talking to them will change the idea they have that it's THEIR TURN! They will soon kick down your front door and announce this House is now THEIR House! Unless they are stopped NOW, its only going to get worse! The worse thing a town or city can do is elect a Black Mayor or Police Chief. They ARE NOT going to stop this rioting! White people, WAKE UP!

“Portland rioters light fires, smash downtown windows...” should be the real headline.

Only 4 arrests despite at least 100 rioters damaging businesses and a homofriendly church, pulling down traffic signals and throwing them into the road, and setting fires in the street. This is what our friends the Democrat voters want, instead of the peace and prosperity we had a few months ago.
