Portland rioters used metal spikes to target federal vehicles: CBP leader
Fox News via MSN ^ | 7/25/20 | Marisa Schultz

Criminals used metal spikes to target the vehicles of federal law enforcement agents dispatched to Portland in the latest effort by violent protesters to damage federal property, according to a top Trump administration official.

Mark Morgan, the acting commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), tweeted out a picture Saturday of dark spikes inside what looked like a federal law enforcement clear evidence bag.

"Early this morning, metal spikes were used by criminals in Portland to puncture the tires of CBP vehicles," Morgan wrote on Twitter.

CBP officials did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for more information on the number of vehicles damaged and whether anyone has been charged.

The tweet comes as Morgan has been calling out "violent anarchists" rioting in the streets, damaging federal property and hurting officers in Portland, a hotbed of civil unrest after 58 consecutive nights of protests.

**SNIP**

"These are not the actions of peaceful protesters," Morgan wrote. "These are the actions of violent anarchists who are looking to harm federal law enforcement and federal property. This violence must end. Local leadership needs to step up, denounce these actions, and regain order."

The writer of the story cannot spell Caltrops.

FYI, caltrops were reported on IH-20 in Smith County (Texas y'all) a few days ago.

No. Conservatives do not have bottomless pockets, and the Portland Pigs arrest anyone who interferes with Antifa.

Antifa rents vans, picks up a load of children in Lake Oswego, and drives them downtown where Antifa in Blak Bloc gets out. Soros is spending a LOT!

The feds know this, we've been telling them for years. Until it's Open Season, no bag limit, and they have to ID the bodies, the Feds won't admit this.

“the Portland Pigs arrest anyone who interferes with Antifa.”

It truly is like Brownshirts in Nazi German and the press won’t report it. This doesn’t end well.

If the FBI wants to reclaim some of their lost reputation they can find the people paying for the bricks, bats and spikes...

violent protesters to damage federal property

If you are like me, one's blood pressure starts to rise when anyone in the MSM refers to these thugs, rioters, SJWs, Antifa and BLM as protestors, violent or otherwise. These vandals are destructive Marxists and Democrats - period.

The article does go on to label them "violent anarchists," to which I fervently support. Even when "peaceful" in their approach to an area, or assembling to fire up the crowd for later mayhem, they should be arrested for conspiracy to commit destruction of property, vandalism, assault and battery, and thievery. I know these would be tough to prove, but locking up these miscreants for several months could have a chilling effect on further chaos.

What about those microwave beams that heat up would be rioters? Or those very loud sound devices to drive them away? Or simply spraying them with a chemical that stinks and dies the skin so you can pick them up for arrest later

Perfect the “Brown Note”

All the more reason to give them a much-needed bath with firehoses afterward

The administration spokespeople need to start reading the federal statutes as part of their briefings.

“These actions are in violation of ....... The penalty for violations of this statute are....... Violators are subject to arrest, jail in a federal facility, and trial in a federal court.”

What about the fabled `crap cannon’ that renders rioters incontinent with VLF radio waves?

The real answer to the riots is to KILL the bastards!!

That’s what happens when both parties ignore the Constitution and swear in a British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian non-natural born citizen in direct violation of the Constitution.

Gotta dumb question: is FR `social media’?

I don’t do Facebook or any of that other cr@p that gets you `canceled’ years after something you may have said.

It’s coming to war. Bloody shootouts in the streets kind of war.

Wearing all black, goggles, and a black bandana should be enough to get you arrested for conspiracy to overthrow the government.
