Portland police Chief Chuck Lovell also addressed a recent uptick in shootings and homicides across the city – without claiming the violence was associated with the unrest in the city brought by riots. Portland witnessed a 380 percent increase in shootings over the past year. Five homicides occurred within a 24 hour period this weekend.

An end in sight would require a political leadership that wants it to end. The Portland political leadership likes what’s going on.

Portland's unrest continues for six straight weeks with no apparent end in sight

Portland people don't want it to end.

I do believe Portland is crazier than Seattle, which is quite an accomplishment.

The death of George Floyd triggered nothing. It was an excuse for weeks of burning, destroying, stealing, raping and killing. An excuse turned into a national nightmare by the radical left. So it’s happening in Portland too. No surprise. A liberal nuthouse. The liberals in charge won’t do what must be done, and so this will continue until they get tired, or until they kill a Black man and it gets into the news.

The mayor here, Ted Wheeler, is a democrat. There is a person on the city council who must be a communist. They’re both anti-police and say the terrorists are just exercising “their first amendment rights”. The Mayor told the feds to stand down and clean up the graffiti or leave.

Unbelievable!

What actually happened:
... a federal officer protecting a closed courthouse was struck in the head and shoulder with a 4.5 lb mini-sledge hammer by a terrorist laying in wait by the court’s door ... Jacob Michael Gaines, 23, of Texas, was immediately taken down and arrested for the assault on the officer.

Released pending further court actions, ie he’s back on the street looking for more federal officers to try to murder.

“...it remains unclear who is responsible for helping organize and supply protesters...”

The only subject of importance - and crickets?

In 2016, so called “reporters” had the WikiLeaks of naked collusion and conspiracy between the Democrats and others, including the “reporters”, handed to them. Of course, they sat on the damning information, but some still got out.

Now, riots are organized and launched across the country, and still no action or interest.

Trump is going to have to create a Free Press in order for us to have one.

"The death of George Floyd triggered a wave of protests and violent mayhem across the country as demonstrators demanded justice and a reckoning against racial injustice and police brutality."

The first sentense, right out box, is a blasted lie..! That's not at all what it's about...

"However, the violence has no apparent end in sight, and it remains unclear who is responsible for helping organize and supply protesters as they continue to wreak havoc in the streets – most recently focusing on federal property"

And where is pretty boy Christopher A. Wray?

Isn't that his job? the job of the FBI?, nope.. their latest report indicates that 'white supremacists' are a greater problem.. way to instill confidence in the FBI!

I sent a note to Trump suggesting that he STAY OUT of Portland. The citizenry in that town have been burning American Flags for decades. Screw em.
