Portland prosecutors just dropped the charges against Black Lives Matter and antifa rioters who have turned downtown Portland into a hell-scape after six weeks of rioting. Rioters who are arrested are ticketed and released.

In one case, Portland police arrested a 25-year-old protester for allegedly setting fire to a Chase Bank in downtown Portland on May 30, the second night of large-scale protests in the city. The Portland resident was charged with arson, criminal mischief and riot. KGW is not naming the person because charges have been dismissed.


But in California if you deface BLM graffiti on a public street you are going to jail.

Maybe they are Soros-funded prosecutors.

Remember that Soros and his sons funded local D.A. and prosecutor candidates put on the ballots——said to be willing to empty prisons, give light sentences and no jail time to minorities and to prosecute conservatives?

Wonder where they all ended up?

The arbitrariness of our “justice” system is quite remarkable. Not a completely new thing, of course, but it sure has slipped into overdrive these last few years.

If the government likes you, you can get away with anything.
And if the government doesn’t like you, it doesn’t mater what you did or didn’t do.

We both posted at the exact same second. You are obviously a genius (because we agree).

Of course they want more violence.

How else do they keep the citizens cowering?

Portland will get just what they deserve.

Wonder how Portland Police feel about this? Why even risk your life arresting these lowlife terrorists if they’re gonna be let go?

from the first arrest over 40 fays ago all were quickly released - this guy is just noticing?

All the released have gone back out to riot on all the subsequent nights as the city council wants - they would have let the Portland federal building burn, had not the Marshals stepped in to protect it.

Appeasement is the name of the game for these city councils and mayors

It is absolutely off-the-charts. Such political perversity and unfairness in our “justice system” from bottom to top is becoming more obvious every day. I wonder how long it will take for average Americans to lose all trust and faith in the system.

My friend’s wonderful daughter and her husband, both veterinarians, live in Portland and claim the rioting never comes near their neighborhood. They just had their first child, beautiful little girl. I hope they get the heck out of town before something awful happens.

But you can’t talk to liberals logically.

(from the article):" Portland prosecutors just dropped the charges against Black Lives Matter and antifa rioters ..."

Portland prosecutors have just announced, through their actions,that they are opposed to home or business ownership.
My suggestion is that you vacate and sell out because their actions indicate that this is only the start
of the war on property rights, especially after you pay your property taxes, which incidentally pay their salaries.
Suckers !

So basically we have a bunch of white college educated people being released after committing all kinds of domestic terrorism in the name of BLM.

Now on the one hand, that could be used later to prove that “White privilege” exists in lefty enclaves, except that the white protestors themselves are hiding from culpability behind black grievance in a place where black grievance is taken very seriously in word, though not in deed. It’s confusing, and if nothing else it shows that absentee parents (thanks to lower paid jobs, thanks to outsourcing of too many jobs, thanks to the Uniparty) has resulted in their kids being brainwashed into a cult.

Well yes, they do want more violence. Enough violence to demoralize and run off potentially uncooperative cops, officials, and voters who could complicate the transition to an explicitly Marxist city-state. I thought everyone realized this.

Give them what they want and we’ll have an explicit insurrection on US soil, versus the unofficial one they’ve been hosting there for years. Cracking skulls, clearing the streets, and placing these loons in jail would take cojones. Is there anyone in power looking likely to grow a pair of those? Nah, didn’t think so.

Cut off their command and control. Insert false counterintelligence directives along with funding. Turn them on each other with manipulated psy ops.

Enjoy.

I truly cannot comprehend just how corrupt these city officials must be. They literally want to watch their cities get destroyed.
