Police in Portland declared riots, arrested 11 people and seized fireworks, hammers and a rifle, as Oregon Governor Kate Brown activated the National Guard in response to protests on the night after voting in the U.S. presidential election.

In New York, police said they had made about 50 arrests in protests that spread in the city late on Wednesday.

Demonstrations, mostly small and peaceful, were held in cities across the United States by supporters of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Four arrests were made in Denver as protesters clashed with police, the Denver Police Department said. Arrests were also made during demonstrations in Minneapolis after protesters blocked traffic, local police there said.

Activists also staged rallies in Atlanta, Detroit and Oakland demanding that vote counts proceed unimpeded.

Local partners of Protect the Results - a coalition of more than 165 grassroots organizations, advocacy groups and labor unions - have organized more than 100 events planned across the country between Wednesday and Saturday.

“Demonstrations, mostly small and peaceful, were held in cities across the United States by supporters of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.”

Takes a bit of digging to get to ‘Biden supporters’

They like using that headline. Put in into peoples minds that trump supports ers are insane rioters.

I noticed Oregon passed a measure to legalize meth, heroin and cocaine in their pleasant little dystopian paradise.I also noticed that Colorado passed the measure to release gray wolves into their deer and elk population to control herd overpopulation. Perhaps Oregon should have also considered a measure to introduce grey wolves to control the riot herd population of Portland.The upside to having both measures passed in Oregon is perhaps they’ll stop rioting once they start stuporing out, and if that doesn’t work, there’s always the wolves.
