At least 11 arrests have been made Wednesday evening after authorities declared that a protest in downtown Portland had turned into a riot.

“Every Oregonian has the right to express themselves freely and to peacefully assemble. However, I want to be clear that voter intimidation and political violence will not be tolerated. Not from the Left, the Right, or the Center. Not this week, not any week in Oregon," Brown wrote in a release by the governor's office.

Governor Brown people from the right and center are not out in the streets of Portland rioting. Don't get stuck on stupid.

NOW they use the National Guard, after the election, but let this go on for four months before.

[vladimir998]

Now that the election is over, they call in the Guard.

[Rebelbase]

Portland reelected their cuck Mayor. The rioting is just more of the same.

“..NOW they use the National Guard, after the election, but let this go on for four months before....”

Ya...cool, huh? /s
IF the guard had any balls, they’d refuse to respond.

It’s an Autumn of Love!

[midnightcat]

so basically they are rioting because they can! What a useless city.

COVID is over also. Masks will be optional and soon socially unacceptable.. The state wide lockdowns end in 3....2....1...

[Psalm 73]

But both of those states went overwhelmingly for Biden - why the hissy fits?

[allendale]

Oregon is beyond redemption.The people are bizarre. Write it off. Just watch it for amusement. No decent people should risk their lives intervening. People who voluntarily live in places like Oregon deserve whatever happens to them.

Apparently the only viable alternative was even more Progressive - to the point of literally dressing in images of communist dictators.

[ctdonath2]

Hissy fits continue because rioters aren’t looking for Democrat leadership, they’re looking for total destruction of governance on the theory that anarchistic communism will self-organize in its wake.

Understand Progressives:
The issue is never the issue.
The issue is always The Revolution.

[Does so]

Portland, Denver... legal Marijuana states of mind...

“Riot declared”?

Fox News doubling down?

They want people
To imagine that the people wanting an honest election are rioting, I imagine. Paul Ryan yuck

Where were they with this headline before the election?

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Wait. They’re arresting people?

Are these pro-Trump?

[lodi90]

This will break up fast if Biden completes the steal. The hard core organized anarchists are a small group. The hangers on to “antifa” are the less radical Democrat rent a mob and they will scatter to the wind without Orange Man in the WH.

Legal marijuana. Heck Oregon just legalized meth

[animal172]

I wouldn’t bet on that.

[Jess Kitting]

But, but, but . . .

That can't be. Oregon is a "blue" state. There are only "peaceful protesters" there.

Besides, what do they have to riot about? Their guy won in Portland.

[TallahasseeConservative]

No they won’t and here’s why. The left believes that Biden “owes” them. The Senate is in Republican hands, so any crazy left wing crap is DOA in the Senate. The left believes the Presidency is imperial, so they will increasingly become more agitated as their dreams of a socialist utopia die in the Senate. It’s going to be interesting to watch when they turn on Biden and eventually Kamala.
