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

Apparently this is what the citizens of Portland are willing to put up with by electing numbnuts like Wheeler.

It took the police two months to show up and try and do something?

By that time, the boil has festered and the infection has spread.

At first reading of the article itself, it sounds like a fiction novel.

Give Trump a shot at cleaning the place up. A few days tops.

Why should we fight antifa when we should be fighting the government that is about to steal this election?

I was just pointing out a possible outcome. I don't think most of us will be fighting Antifa, but if they show up on your block, you might not have a choice.

The family who owned the house ( from what I could tell it was inherited) took out a mortgage to pay for their son’s legal defense team because he killed a man, injuring the mans wife in a car crash. It was a hit and run. This kid had other run ins with the law, and a drug offense. Totally a punk. The kid ( now an adult) got around six years in prison. The family stopped paying their mortgage, and foreclosure proceedings began. This family claims they are not beholden to US laws, and they are indigenous, therefore they will not leave. A developer bought the house. The house is now trashed on the inside. A judge ordered the eviction, and Antifa grasped on a new cause. I predict this will end badly, and the house will be demolished. Since the neighbors most likely voted for their stupid leadership, then they will reap the rewards of that, which is the neighborhood could burn down in the protests.

The developer (who bought the house for $235,000, while the next door vacant lot went for $10 million) has offered to sell the house back to the Kinney’s for what he has into it.

There is done really corrupt chicanery going on with mortgage foreclosures that let developers and cronies buy multi million dollar properties for pennies on the dollar!

That was not a multimillion dollar property.

How come the press is reporting that the lot next door sold for $10 million?
