As protesters arrive at their doorsteps, Democratic mayors in Portland, St. Louis abandon their homes
Washington Post ^ | Sep 3 2020 | By Katie Shepherd

As hundreds of protesters gathered Monday outside a condo building where the mayor lives in the upscale Pearl District of Portland, Ore., some set off fireworks, sprayed graffiti and broke windows. After someone tossed a burning object inside, police pushed the crowd away and made 19 arrests. The next day, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D) sent a letter to his neighbors letting them know he planned to move out of his $840,000 condo in response to a string of protests targeting the building, the Oregonian reported. “I want to express my sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position,” he said in the letter, according to the newspaper. He said the move would be “best for me and for everyone else’s safety and peace.”

Both of them said: “I told my maid Jauqualle not to allow any callers at the front door. Did she listen? No.”

So running away instead of bringing down the law on these people. Typical p*ssy liberal.

Why are the mob’s turning on their democrat mayors who support them?

Is this a plot to make it look like it’s conservatives or trump supporters?

After looting, when the mansions burn the “protestors” can yell out on bullhorns: “What do we care? You got insurance. And don’t forget to bend your knee to us on TV in honor of the slain black heroes of police brutality. Suckas.”

It's a lame effort to make it look like black thugs and white antifa thugs don't like democrat either.

It's a lie.

When the people who organized these riots and paid for the supplies (bricks, bats, guns, walking around money, guns, etc) are exposed - they'll be the same people who have been backing democrats and progressives for years.

Reminds me of the stunt done some years back when letters were sent to newspapers complaining about them being too 'conservative'...Of course it was a lie - and the letters were fake - but it gave the gullible press an 'out'. They could fool themselves into thinking 'everyone complains so we must be being fair'...

Wheeler is probably moving to a home with security fencing that surrounds the property.

Liberals love walls for themselves.

That thought has been occurring to me.

I would not be surprised.
