Police in Portland, Oregon arrested two people after about 150 suspected antifa members marched through Pearl District on Saturday night while smashing windows and spray-painting graffiti on business storefronts including Starbucks and Chipotle.
The demonstrators gathered at The Fields Park at around 9pm on Saturday and began marching through the area to protest the Biden administration’s immigration policies and to denounce ICE.
Images posted on social media show vandalized windows of several shops and restaurants, including Starbucks, Chipotle, Umpqua Bank, and Urban Pantry.
The demonstrations lasted for about two hours, according to KOIN-TV.
They come after Portland this past summer was the sight of a 'summer of rage' - with massive protests led by suspected members of antifa essentially shut down parts of the central city for weeks on end.
Video posted to social media showed several downtown businesses boarding up their storefronts late on Saturday night in response to the demonstrations.
Some of the protesters were heard telling local police to ‘go home’ while residents nearby responded by yelling ‘go home’ at the protesters from their balconies.
At around 10pm, the Portland Police Bureau said that the protests became ‘destructive’ and that the crowds were being told to ‘immediately stop participating in criminal activity.’

A mere TWO people out of 150 now arrested.
Those two, probably already out on bail.
they are just working to improve insurance rates,
while being paid by Team Xi,Soros,Romney,Roberts,Biden.
Those two probably defended themselves from Antifa or something.
Wow, two? I guess the others were mostly peaceful...
Perhaps the problem with Portland police is arithmetic?
Portland, 76% (D), voted for this.
The problem is with the Dem Mayor/police commissioner Ted Wheeler and the D.A. who was put into office thanks to Soros PAC money.
I wonder what would have happened had residents responded with paint balls instead of asking.
At some point the insurance companies have got to say enough is enough and start refusing to issue policies that cover civil unrest in Portland.
And charges dropped by the end of the week.
So, Howie Schulz, you tired of continuing to support Dumb Dumb-O-Crats?
And Xiden just flung our border wide open. What more do these ectomorphic idiots want? Maybe a north-south freeway every 10-miles to whisk the illegals in at 75 mph?
PING!
Wouldn't they rather prefer copper-jacketed lead projectiles?
Why oh why do they trash Starbucks? You would think that with Starbucks being so liberal, that they would leave it alone and go for another business that doesn’t agree with them politically.
With the cost and scarcity of ammo, pepper balls and paint balls would be far more productive.
Starbucks.... I think they started all of this. Didn’t they load tghe BLM folks with good cash?
There was a spirited discussion on another thread. One of the earlier posts, one Freeper said he was going to gather cheese, wine, and other snacks and watch the discussion.
I thought that was a good idea and I would gather some cheese and wine and watch the Portland 6 o clock riot news. I enjoyed the cheese and wine but the riots were barely mentioned.

Interesting contrast in policing methods.
