It Took Six Months Of Rioting, Millions In Property Damage For Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler To Escalate Law Enforcement Efforts Against Antifa
Daily Caller ^ | 01/03/2021 | Kaylee Greenlee

It took six months of rioting and millions of dollars in property damage for Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to order increase law enforcement action against Antifa.

Several businesses were damaged during riots on New Year’s Eve including two Starbucks shops, a Chase Bank, a Pandora Jewelers, a Ben Bridge Jewelers, and multiple local businesses, such as the Portland Wine Company and an office space, according to the Portland Police Bureau. The riots led to three arrests.

“My good faith efforts at de-escalation have been met with ongoing violence and even scorn from radical Antifa and anarchists,” Wheeler said in a subsequent press conference. “In response, it will be necessary to use additional tools and to push the limits of the tools we already have to bring the criminal destruction and violence to an end.”

A light bulb went on over his head. A Christmas tree bulb at best, and one that is dying but a light bulb nonetheless. Oh, yes. Someone else put the light bulb there, not the dimwit mayor.

I would not go that far. But it would be fun to see the dimwit wearing a dunce cap on a platform in front of a crowd of howling Antifa Guard students and see him sent to work in the fields in a very humbling job.

More to the point, it took Wheeler getting reelected and the November elections having taken place for the Dems to call off some of their brown shirt terrorists.

Now that the Nazi Brown Shirts' job is done, he has no use for them any longer.

Leftists who take their cause to the streets for their Communist masters do not learn from their own history; their masters will turn on them once they're no longer needed.

I agree with you on this. But it may be useful to keep the violence going well into any Biden administration.

He relented and asked Trump for help, finally. But if Biden is sworn in then Trump has little time to help him. So he can say that he asked Trump for help but got none, but here comes Biden with some help to control the animals! And the riots go away immediately. Huzzah, Biden!

Facing a Change in Administration, Portland Mayor Wheeler Now Promises to Eliminate Antifa Violence

Posted on  by Sundance

Mayor Ted Wheeler has allowed wholesale anarchy to run amok in the streets of Portland, Oregon, while using the attempts by President Trump to stop the violence as an excuse to call Trump an authoritarian dictator.

However, with the possibility of a change in administration it is no longer in the interests of the totalitarian state for random acts of violence to be associated with the severe-leftist cause.  As a result, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler now says Antifa violence cannot be tolerated any longer.  WATCH:

After months of denial Portland Mayor changed his mind.

As Mamet said: “in order for the far-left to advance their ideology they must pretend not to know things”… As soon as their ability to deflect the pretense ends, they shift strategies and then deny they ever supported them in the first place.

All of that said, we know the real reason why Portland is changing direction.

Watch this:

Wheeler should be indicted for Malfeasance——along with all the other Mayors who let their cities be destroyed.

“My good faith efforts at de-escalation

How stupid does this ass hat 🧢 think we are? He did everything he could, to stoke the fires. Maybe he is only asking for help, because now he thinks he can get the federal government to rebuild the city, that he helped destroy. The guy is a steaming pile of 💩

If only. In November, he ran against a broad who wanted to eliminate the PD. He won by 5%. That’s 5%, without a zero on the end. The issue isn’t him - it’s Portland’s insane voters. If he had cracked down, the moron in a skirt who promised to dismantle the PD would probably be mayor. Maybe it’s something in the water there.

Many of Wheelers kind, hoisted by their own petards, would not make me sad in the slightest.
