Federal authorities again used tear gas and other crowd-control munitions against protesters gathered outside of the federal courthouse in Portland on Saturday night.
Portland Police Bureau confirmed that federal authorities used CS gas twice and made arrests as people gathered outside of the federal courthouse near the Multnomah County Justice Center in downtown Portland, which has seen nightly demonstrations in support of Black Lives Matter for six consecutive weeks.
The climax of Saturday nights confrontation stuck around 2 a.m. (Sunday) when an Antifa rioter tried to throw a gas canister at the Feds.
They responded immediately and fired a less-lethal round that hit him in the face and he fell down to the ground. The angry mob drawback and took the wounded person with them.

Before this incident the Portland downtown looked like a scene from a war movie: Antifa rioters and people with shields try to move in closer to the entrance of the federal courthouse. Theyre repelled by flashbangs and more. Rioters respond by throwing projectiles and glass bottles at police.

PPB said officers responded to a call for help from federal officers overwhelmed by crowd members resisting arrest and throwing bottles at them near SW Main Street and SW 3rd Avenue. As this was going on, police made announcements for people to leave the area.
PPB said officers monitored the crowd for an additional hour as they witnessed trash cans and dumpsters being lit on fire. No structures were threatened during the altercation, police confirmed.

For those wondering why Portland has gone over 40 days of rioting and lawlessness just read this tweet. The Mayor has given up to the mob.

This is terrorism and it gotta stop!
Agreed, and those who participate should be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Sending a group to jail for 1 to 3 years may dissuade others from joining in. So far, that hasn’t happened, which just encourages more of the same. Mayors and governors need to learn that lesson, and we sure as hell are not giving money to cities who let this happen.
That is what I say.
Kill half the ticks and the other basement dwellers will head out. This is bs going through this night after night.
Dirt naps for the rioters and looters
I think the proper term is “useful idiots”, and we all know what happened to them in the past.
Agreed. I just like gullible because it accounts for seemingly intelligent people who get sucked into vile causes.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
I really believe that the word peaceably is key.
I see no reason not to put this down, if there is backlash for the put down then, put that down too.
Support for it would pour out all over the land.
Would imagine they're prepared for that.
So do I.
My understanding is he has recovered enough to give family and doctors the OK sign.
Racist bastard.
Wait, wait! Isn't that a white supremacy sign?????
Hit these people with paint balls filled with indelible white ink. Then announce the next day a $50 reward for anyone IDing one of these folks. Young kids will be all over town on their bikes hoping to get the reward. The antifa types will have to go into hiding until the ink washes off.
That was nice to watch.
Thank you for knowing how to post a link properly.
Wasn’t it Portland where a rioter got shot in the groin with a pepper ball? I think it was last year. Got posted here a lot.
