UPDATED Showdown in Portland: Antifa and BLM Hold Neighborhood Hostage, Build 'Autonomous Zone,' and Attack Police Trying to Stop Them
PJ Media ^ | 12/10/2020 | Victoria Taft

Update below.

It’s like a scene from a dystopian movie. Antifa and Black Lives Matter™ radicals take over and squat in a Portland house belonging to someone else. Neighbors sound the alarm. Police come months later to force them to leave. Antifa takes over the street in front of the house. All hell breaks loose and cops are attacked.

This is the backstory to what’s happening right now on the ground in a neighborhood that Portland antifa radicals have essentially taken over since yesterday. They’ve blocked the street, erected walls, and now essentially hold a neighborhood hostage.

At 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Portland Police and Multnomah County Sheriff deputies raided a home that had been taken over by a group of squatters. They’d been ordered to leave by a judge, but the group stayed anyway.

Since the September 9th, individuals have converged on the property by trespassing on the home’s front and backyards, and camping on adjacent privately owned and city-owned properties. Law enforcement also learned the home was broken into and that people were entering and exiting despite the judge’s order.

Campers took over the yard and blocked traffic and access for neighbors wanting to go to their own homes.

Police made several arrests during the morning raid.

The following are names of additional people arrested:
26-year-old Malik Farrakhan – Interfering with a peace officer, resist arrest
32-year-old Benjamin Einhorn – Interfering a with a peace officer
31-year-old Coral Cloutman – Disorderly Conduct II
24-year-old Stephen Wiens – Disorderly Conduct II, Interfering a with peace officer
23-year-old Marshall Piotcowski – Disorderly Conduct II, Interfering a with peace officer
26-year-old Alicxandra Blake Lucero – Interfere with a peace officer, Resist Arrest, Trespass II

RE: Hey, Oregon! How is giving Biden your electoral votes working out for you?

I Think they prefer it this way. As C.S. Lewis once said, the doors of hell are bolted from the inside. To us, it’s hell, to them, it’s heaven.

If this crap happened in Florida the police would have removed the thugs before the story had a chance to hit the wire.

ONE MORE REASON TO BE THANKFUL FOR LIVING IN FLORIDA.

essentially it sounds like the people in the neigborhood can't leave, so they're basically kidnapped....

and the police just let it happen and continue...

“He also offered that the situation could be solved “easily” but, obviously, that’s ridiculous, or else it would be over at this point.”

It could be resolved easily, if the authorites just shut off electricity, gas, and water to the “occupied” blocks. Especially with winter coming.

They won’t do that though, because they don’t really want to resolve it.

in light of Dominion, we can’t assume people “voted” for this...as a matter of fact, I’ll bet most did not vote for this, and haven’t had an ability to vote for a couple of decades.

Maybe the Kidnapping Hostages should try to SHOOT THEIR WAY OUT of their own damned homes. I would

Could be.

Perhaps Coral Cloutman packs a punch, and Stephen Wiens complains a lot.

You have a valid point but I would like to make a slightly different assertion. It is the politicians that are allowing it to happen and continue.

26 years old. The age where they’re on their seventh year of their four-year degree, failing out, and looking to get their student loans cancelled.

Maybe it’s time for area residents to take target practice from the rooftops.

No doubt the FBI is preparing a SWAT team to go in and break this up; this operation should require almost as many men as it took to flush out Roger Stone. /s

But seriously, where IS the FBI when this left-wing stuff is going on, week after week? They seem to find every right-wing conspirator out in the boondocks, but they seem oblivious or indifferent to domestic terrorism in plain sight in our major cities.

And if they ARE involved in monitoring this situation, why the low profile? Where are the press releases and press conferences?

I get what you’re saying but places like Seattle, Portland, etc. definitely vote for this nonsense.

There’s a lot of vote and voter manipulation for sure, but many parts of this country are infested with liberalism. Its influence is everywhere.

They re-elected Ted Wheeler, and it wasn’t for his firm stand against this sort of thing (full disclosure: his opponent was literally a Communist). As in Seattle, this isn’t actually anarchy, it’s gang rule. I don’t think another stern talking-to is going to accomplish much.
