WATCH: Portland Protester Set Afire By Molotov Cocktail Thrown Toward Police
Daily Wire ^ | 9/6/2020 | Hank Berrien

Posted on 09/07/2020 6:17:53 AM PDT by simpson96

On Saturday night, as members of Antifa rioted in a residential area in southeast Portland, someone on the crowd threw a Molotov cocktail, lighting a fire in the street and setting another protester on fire. That protester ran across the street with his pants on fire, falling to the ground where other protesters attempted to put out the blaze, which was extinguished when police rushed to his aid and an officer put the fire out.

“The crowd of protesters gathered in Ventura Park at around 7 p.m. with plans to march down to the Portland Police east precinct. Authorities announced at around 9 p.m. that people who were planning to march to the east precinct building were not staying to the sidewalks and that the march was unpermitted,” KATU reported.

Just after 9 p.m. the Portland police tweeted a notice that the march was unpermitted, writing, “Portland Police are making loudspeaker announcements reminding people marching near Ventura Park to remain on sidewalks and obey all laws. The march is unpermitted. Portland Police encourage lawful demonstrations.”

At roughly 9:20 p.m. the Portland police declared the situation a riot, tweeting: “Portland Police note that persons on Southeast Stark are engaging in tumultuous and violent conduct thereby intentionally or recklessly creating a grave risk of causing public alarm. This is a riot. Police are giving announcements to disperse. People are throwing Molotov cocktails.”(snip)

An owner of a gun shop in Sandy, Oregon, roughly 30 miles southeast of Portland, told the Times that he has sold 4.5 million rounds of ammunition since March, and that demand soared after the protests Portland became violent. He stated, “There’s panic buying every once in a while but nowhere near like this. There’s such a massive rush, people are taking anything they can get.”

Quite strange that peaceful protestors are in possession of Molotov cocktails.

Great photo of the idiot with his legs on fire, at the link (Getty image, cannot post it here).

They want to defund police but it’s ok if the police put out his feet. Hope he never walks again.

This implies that unpermitted demonstrations must stay on the sidewalk. I think they should have invoked this requirement months ago.

What happened to him is what he and the other protesters wanted to happen to a cop. If it had happened to a cop, he certainly would not have helped the cop. So good, I hope he suffered, and I hope he's suffering even more with people making fun of him.

I know.... right. Felt a tinge of guilt myself, for about 2 milliseconds. Had to clean up the mess I made after viewing the Benny Hill one.

A friend of mine had similar third degree burns on his legs after a chemical spill caught fire. I met the ambulance at the hospital and saw the raw burns.

He spent months in pretty serious pain. He couldn’t walk or sit up because the blood flow caused burning pain.

He got a mechanics creeper and paddled around the house on his stomach. It took a while but he’s fine now.

None of his fellow rioters took their shirt off to smother the fire?
