Portland descended into chaos again late Saturday and into Sunday even after the mayor had pledged earlier in the week to crack down on 'anarchist mobs' and 'unmask' them.
The mayor himself had received an apparent death threat in a voice-disguised, anonymous Twitter video Wednesday, just days after he promised to 'take our city back' from violent rioters and 'hurt them a little bit.'
Two groups of radical protesters, who have throughout the past year represented Antifa and other far-left causes, were armed with weapons, body armor, shields and flares. The riots came as violent skirmishes occurred worldwide during so-called 'May Day' protests in favor of worker's rights - but that descended into anarchist free-for-alls.
Police declared a riot and ordered the 'protesters' to disband.
Late Saturday, two large groups - one about 30 to 50 people and another about 80 to 100 people - started their battle against law enforcement near the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in south Portland while the other blazed a path of destruction from Shemanski Park to a federal courthouse, Portland police said.
They shattered windows and graffitied buildings of several businesses and government facilities, according to Portland police, who arrested five people including one man who's accused of pulling a butterfly knife out on a cop.
Outside the ICE facility, federal officers fired pepper ball rounds at the group, local TV station KATU reported.

So let me get this straight... if the police were allowed to arrest & detain somewhere between 110 and 150 individuals this BS would likely stop? Well, do it already!
Portland voted for this, for years.
Where’s that footage from?
The Portland rioters are predominantly liberal white kids.
Sometimes I just like to enjoy the “just deserts”, “chickens coming home to roost”, “kismet”, “what comes around goes around”... If I hadn’t given up smoking several years back, I’d light up a cigar, sit back and enjoy this. They summoned the wind and they reap the whirlwind.
Sorry- had to leave. I don’t know where it occurred.
It won't stop until some agency goes "Star Chamber" on the organizers and funders.

Protesting IS their work...they are getting paid...bank on it.
We're Americans. Shoot 'em, hang 'em, or send them to my fave, Ol' Sparky.
