what is with the spoons?
This “save the earth” crowd sure doesn’t seem to care much for the earth.
All were “ordered released pending jury trials or other follow-up court proceedings.”
Who the hell ordered them released? Heads should roll for that stupid order.
“Protest”
I remember reading the FBI was worried about White Supremacists. Things that make you go “hmmmmm”.
The anarchists freeze those “water bottles” into solid ice bombs before launching them at our brave federal officers.
You can watch Portland riots last night here:

Lots of lasers being shined in Feds eyes. Just ignore the pot smoking host. He really is pretty apolitical though.
Anyone have film from the Seattle riot in the CHOP?

They should test them for fingerprints. The FBI is not busy with any noose cases right now.
That was my first thought as well.
Yeah, but they may be working on Impeachment II.
Youd think a liberal place like Portland would be more into recycling plastic water bottles.
Right.
They need to make um illegal like plastic straws.
Also they need to charge a deposit of a dollar on plastic bottles.
Such trash

Not much of a war when only one side is fighting.
You can’t eat tofu with a fork.

What a complete joke. This is why nobody has any respect for our laws. The system is a revolving door.
