BREAKING: All Federal Buildings in Portland Evacuated Amid Car Bomb Threat

On Friday, federal authorities evacuated all federal buildings in Portland after reports of a car bomb threat. The FBI is investigating the threat.

“The FBI is aware of recent reporting regarding threats made against federal buildings in Portland,” the FBI’s Portland field office said in a statement. “We are investigating to determine the credibility of the threat, and we remain in touch with our law enforcement partners to share information.”

The Bankruptcy Court cited a “threat of violence in the area” as the reason for its shutdown, The Oregonian reported. A source with knowledge of the situation told the paper that federal authorities received a threat that a vehicle filled with explosives would hit a federal building. It remains unclear if the threat involved a specific building.

The source also told The Oregonian that the Standard Insurance and Standard Plaza buildings had been evacuated on Friday morning.

The threat came after the 84th night of violent riots in Portland. In the name of pursuing justice for George Floyd, rioters have fired explosives at the federal courthouse, set fire to the police union, attempted to burn down a police precinct with officers inside, and turned the entrance of the ICE building into a war zone.

On Thursday night, rioters attempted to break into the ICE building. When federal officers came out, rioters threw rocks and bottles at them, shined lasers to blind them, and launched commercial-grade fireworks at them. They also set dumpsters on fire. The riot continued into the morning.

The Democrat Party is telling America (in a none too subtle way) that if they lose in November, they will keep up the lockdowns and riots.

It’s “mostly peaceful”, you know. Except for the bombs and stuff...

Yep. That's the threat. Elect our leader or America will continue to suffer ever greater violence. They are already threatening to move to the suburbs. Clearly, this is the plan. And not one national Democrat has condemned any of this not one that I am aware of. The Democrats, and the MSM, are co-conspirators.

Just wondering what it will take for the authorities in the city of Portland or the state of Oregon to do something to stop the Marxist Mob takeover.

There is a Conservative rally scheduled for downtown Portland, on Saturday. The city has issued a riot warning!

The first time. What's the Constitutional solution for an anti-Constitutional, violent city government on US soil? And, does it hurt?

If they lose, then Trump has no re-election concerns. I don’t think he’ll tolerate threats of 4 more years of this crap, and the governors will need to open things up , if only to save their own skins. Just my take.

That’s what makes this whole business so surreal. The elected authorities, governor, mayor, district attorney, seem to be on the side of the Marxist Mob. Mayor Daley was a democrat, but he wasn’t going to let the mob destroy his city. Now, someone defending himself or his property is more likely to get in trouble than the mob.
