Many people are angry in Portland. I don’t live there, but I do live in Oregon. What took antifa down is the Elk. It was the most beautiful & iconic statue in the Portland park blocks. What did it have to do with racism? Well? Nothing. What it did do was reveal the utter ugliness of the marxist Democrats. The antheads & the sympathic mayor have turned Portland into a 💩 hole now. The grandest protest Portland will be hit with is coming, like a rain storm.

He is one of those leaders who believe
a community should cut off its nose to despite its face.

I hadn’t heard about the Elk statue. Just looked it up. That is so sad.

Where is the breaking point for normal citizens to FINALLY rise up against the out-of-control marxist mob?

The annual riots in Portland never made sense. You’re going to throw bricks through windows and set fires to protest in a place where 95% of the people agree with you? It’s like a kid who’s mad at his parents destroying his own room and breaking his own toys.

Yep, time the folks of OREGON paid their share of the damage that Oregon did during the days of slavery. Nail it to them, pay to the TEETH. They were the perpetrators of this horrible national nightmare. Oregon needs to pay for their sins against black people. All of their sins. They are guilty... Oregon, SHAME on you for the chains you put on black people in your horrible history. (sarc)

The mayor is in denial. Feckless weakling. “Report” that.

I an not a citizen of Portland or a democrat and could not tell you. I only sense a pride in the city’s beauty from Portlanders and there is some anger.

Something more than breaking toys.
