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.

Why are we putting up with this?
84th day of riots....Damn...get out the fire hoses, tear gas...whatever...and stop this. What’s wrong with the governor and all the Dem politicians in the state. Is this what you want for your people??
That’s like asking why Lenin didn’t do more to stop the Bolsheviks.
Now? They were terrorists a long time ago!
They've been burning federal buildings for weeks! That they're still freely walking the streets is nothing short than a total dereliction of duty of law enforcement.
There's dozens if not hundreds of people marauding in Portland right this moment who should be arrested by whatever means necessary, tried, convicted and given very long prison sentences.
And if they won't allow themselves to be arrested, then they need to be stopped again by whatever means necessary. This sh*t needed to be shut down a long time ago.

BLOAT (buy lots of ammo today)
OREGON PING
If you’d like to be on the Oregon ping list, please freep mail me.
American Al-Quaeda allowed to continue their mayhem for yet another day with no consequences.
Not saying this is a legitimate report, but ya know it's only a matter of time until these American hating anarchist ramp it up.
Hey soccer moms
WAKE UP
If the authorities in Portland would just stop harassing these peaceful protesters they wouldn’t have to be less peaceful like this!
Joe loves to bloviate, but he doesn't have the brains to realize there is no uniting with terrorists.
Just a part of that whole reparation thingy.
“The Saint George Riots.”
He doesn’t mean the most beautiful conservative city in the country, St.George, Utah.
Antifa is the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.
I would feel safer walking the streets of Beirut than Portland, Seattle, Chicago or Minneapolis.
Portland is not weird, it’s evil
I was just there. I would say conservatively that at least 1 out of 20 homes either had a “Back the Blue” or Trump/Pence 2020 sign in their yard.

Okay. There is no way to edit so I have to post that I was talking about St. George, Utah not Portland, Oregon.
“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.“
.... That’s exactly how I interpreted Michelle “Big Mike“ Obama’s speech at the DNC Convention. In other words, you can expect more Violence and chaos if you dare cast a vote for Donald Trump.
