Protesters flocked to the Justice Center and the federal courthouse in Portland again on Friday night, lighting fires and burning American flags and Bibles in the streets.

According to the Portland Police, which did not engage with demonstrators, the crowd lit several fires, including a large bonfire in the middle of the street in front of the federal courthouse. One video shows protesters feeding a small fire with Bibles, which were engulfed in flames.

Here is more: Portland Police did not engage with the demonstrators but did respond to a nearby shooting, where over 150 rounds were shot. One round struck a woman, per the Portland Police Bureau:

One round struck an adult female victim in an arm. Responding officers applied a tourniquet and she was transported to the hospital by ambulance with what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries. No other injuries have been reported to police, however bullets struck at least 8 occupied apartments and 7 vehicles (unknown if occupied).

Yep, peaceful. /s

Of course not. They know the peaceful followers of the Prophet would burn them.

Koran burning is disallowed because, well, you know. Evil Christian tomes? Meh! Probably racis’ anyway. Waiting for that position to be taken by someone. Or has it?

“””Somebody should PHOTOSHOP the Koran over the Bible in these peaceful protests”””

Show pictures of them burning the koran and rainbow flags and watch heads explode.

Perfect symbolism!

The brutal annihilation of democracy and Christianity is the core craving of the Democrat.

Burning the American flag and bibles is inciting a riot.

Oregon Riot Law:
ORS 166.015¹ Riot. (1) A person commits the crime of riot if while participating with five or more other persons the person engages in tumultuous and violent conduct and thereby intentionally or recklessly creates a grave risk of causing public alarm.

Riot is a Class C felony.

So the police just sat around with their thumbs up their asses while the demonstrators illegally started fires in the middle of the street. Why bother having police on scene if they won’t do their job?

“..So the police just sat around with their thumbs up their asses while the demonstrators illegally started fires in the middle of the street. Why bother having police on scene if they won’t do their job?...”

They were doing their “job”. They were directly following the orders of the mayor and the governor.

Defund the police? Sounds reasonable when they simply stand around watching scenes like this. And 150 bullets sprayed nearby with not even a yawn.

If you think this isn't affecting YOUR DAILY LIFE, you are mistaken!

This behavior will stand as a perpetual threat to your daily freedom, for speech, for writing, for movement, for political support, for election results.

This IS CWII, some are just afraid to admit it.

“Portland GANGSTERS Burn Bibles, American Flags in the Streets”

Quit calling them anything but Leftist-Funded Gangsters and Terrorists.

Burning Bibles and American Flags.

That will gain them a lot of points with the American electorate...NOT!

Last I read, 65% of Americans consider themselves Christian, with 62% of those belonging to a church.

We knew they hated Christianity and this country. Same for the democrats who enabled the riots and gave them material support.
