Following a day of unchecked violence between far-right and far-left demonstrators in both downtown and Northeast Portland, the city’s mayor and police commissioner says the hands-off approach worked in mitigating the violence many expected to take place on the anniversary of one of Portland’s most vicious street brawls.
As promised, Portland Police didn’t respond for most of the day. A statement issued Friday said officers wouldn’t intervene in the moment, rather they would monitor violence and property damage in hopes of making arrests afterward.
Nearly 22 hours after fighting broke out between the two sides in the Parkrose community and gunfire was exchanged downtown, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler issued a statement Monday afternoon, saying that the city’s approach was a win.
“This time, violence was contained to the groups of people who chose to engage in violence toward each other,” Wheeler said. “The community at large was not harmed and the broader public was protected. Property damage was minimal.”

This guy is crazy. Open civil war is a victory?
He’s claiming thats due to the absence of law enforcement?
Frankly, we should be behind this. Bashing commies without fear of ending up in the joint is a good thing.
Portland population 2M+. Are they all Antifa, BLM, defund the Police?? Stand up, wake up, speak out. “If only there be 10 righteous....” always comes to mind.
They don’t want cops when leftists riot, but they do when right fights left.
Got it.
Entirely speculation on my part: The anarchists told the rank file LEOS “We Know Where You Live” and the rank and file LEOs know it is true.
This is fantasy coming true, it’s like the Hunger Games where individuals from all the districts are put together in a battle, last man alive is declared the winner.....
I wonder if the geniuses in Portland will call it a victory when bodies are stacked up in the streets....last weekend we had shots fired, it won’t be long before it will shots landed and people killed....
Meanwhile, Portlanders are being murdered: https://www.usasupreme.com/video-good-samaritan-trying-to-break-up-fight-is-shot-point-blank-in-the-head-in-portland/
Also, the dregs of society have found their way there...as if to nirvana.... it’s THEIR element and Portland officials welcomed them with open arms
Now, Portland isn’t happy with their hip, social experiment...they’ re stuck with them!! :)
The residence love being the victim so be it
Property damage is NEVER MINIMAL when it is YOUR property.
