MORE MEDIA Anarchists damage Pearl District businesses
PORTLAND, Ore. — A once-peaceful protest in Portland turned violent Thursday evening as anarchists burned flags, broke store windows and damaged cars.
Officers arrested at least 26 people, according to Portland Police. No law enforcement officers were hurt in what officials labeled as a riot.
The third day of the protests against President-elect Donald Trump started around 5 p.m. at Pioneer Courthouse Square. About 4,000 people marched over the Hawthorne Bridge, through the Lloyd Center. At that point, the protest appeared to break apart when some people began using bats to bash in cars at a Honda dealership.
The largely peaceful protest continued west over the Broadway Bridge at around 9 p.m. and into the Pearl District with dozens of people who are describing themselves as anarchists and radicals. They broke windows of several businesses and restaurants, and bashed in a transformer in an effort to cut electricity.
Police in riot gear responded to the North Park Blocks area, where an apparent showdown occurred between rioters and officers. Portland Police officials went on a loudspeaker and told the peaceful members of the group to disperse or head back to Pioneer Square.

Hillary Clinton supporters.
Arrests don’t mean anything if the perps are released without being charged.
The people financing these riots are going to find out what RICO stands for in a few months.
This may backfire. In some places it takes an out of control situation not the doing of residents to turn folks against the chaos. Example....BLM nonsense isn't real popular in Cleveland anymore.
Advice to the spoiled brats: GET OVER IT.
LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE FREE ELECTION PROCESS.

They need to come to Alabama and try this BS
Can we just Drone George Soros?

In all likelihood, this was organized by Soros.
Just north of Portland the local news runs the AP version of the story, making sure ‘Trump’ is in the title instead of ‘Soros’. These aren’t necessarily Clinton supporters as a source of the protest, they are the dupes of communist agitators paid by ‘foundations’ linking back to Soros.
“largely peaceful”, huh?
So did the police arrest these punks?
The irony (anarchists protesting the election loss of a big government candidate) is ROFLMAO.
It is also illustrative of the pervasive idiocy...
Peaceful doesn't mean breaking windows.
At one time, rioters were shot on sight by the police. Arresting them was only for show. Their AlCU lawyer and judges will release them with charges dropped within 24 hours.
Let ‘em destroy whatever big Democratic-party cities they want to ... make those urban areas unlivable.
Fear mongering and hate. The left no longer pretends to be tolerant and peaceful, although it never truly was.
