Another Portland, Ore., official quits after laboring to defend the indefensible.
Some intolerable events simply cannot be spun, even by the most talented of message massagers.
A recent Journal editorial summed up the mayor’s appalling message to his community: Anarchy is tolerable as long as you’re merely shooting at each other.
Photos obtained by The New York Times show him sitting with about a dozen people — almost all unmasked — testing the limits of the strict new mask rules.
Who can blame them? For more than a year Portland’s mayor has been asking citizens to accept both limits on their liberty and threats to their safety. Perhaps his staff is just tired of defending him.

It depends. The bad guys have been know to paint their weapons in an attempt to make the cops second guess themselves.
I can’t seem to post pics, but look up the story about an arrest in North Carolina and they guy had a glock painted like a nerf gun.

Flank the phookers, especially the provocateurs in the back.
If one were to break every leg in that street, would one be too harsh?
Or simply surround and drown with gasoline.
Perhaps a few aparks would not be unwelcome?

Thanks.
Looks like a way to have some paintball fun and not pay the $25.00 fee and none of the pesky rules?
But even in the Chicago suburbs if you start smashing windows and heads they will call the cops.
