Last week, Portland law enforcers raided a house that had for months been illegally occupied by trespassers affiliated with Black Lives Matter and Antifa. At the barricaded property, officers made arrests and found a stockpile of firearms.
Under normal circumstances, the armed trespassers would be prosecuted, and that would be the end of the story. But in riot-plagued Portland, things are very far from normal.
The city’s “progressive” district attorney immediately dropped the charges against the occupiers, and their comrades soon sent in reinforcements to build a sprawling autonomous zone in the middle of a densely populated residential area.
The militants called the place the Red House Autonomous Zone — named after the red-colored house occupied at the heart of the zone. In doing so, they took inspiration from Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. During the summer, leftist extremists chased police out of a six-block area of the Emerald City and drew their own “borders,” complete with checkpoints manned by armed “security.” The three-week experiment in lawlessness ended in mass vandalism, attempted rape, multiple shootings and two homicides.
Portland’s RHAZ is following in the same footsteps.

I guess the majority of the voters support this leftist insanity. More popcorn.
Why any normal person would want to live in that craphole called Portland is beyond me.
What about the actual Owners of the Property?? What do they do? Do they get a Prize? Their Property has been SEIZED BY FORCE and The Government is Helping the Thieves.
I’ve driven all over Oregon.
Beautiful country, nice people for the most part. Too bad the coast controls the state. I wouldn’t mind visiting the eastern part of the state but I would never travel too far west.
An aunt and uncle live around Beaverton last I heard.
He is fairly normal, the aunt was a bit on the wacko side. Nowadays I’m not sure of either.
They are not normal, they are liberals.
I wonder if you can get insurance in Portland right now?
Portland is Antifa. Antifa are the Nazi Storm Troopers of the Communist Democrat city government.
People should learn from history. Even recent history.
But that requires a Mayor with huevos. The current one has none.
It’s not the coast so much as the Willamette Valley.
The United States is about to enjoy the same privilege of being ruled over by insane liberals. That is where true democracy always leads, that is why the Founders eschewed the very thought of a pure democracy. The flyover states are soon to be ruled by the leftest coastal states just like the rural Americans have been for years, by their overpopulated welfare driven cities.
What? The Coast doesn’t control the State...Multnomah County (Portland, etc.) And Eugene do.
It’s not the coast, it’s the Portland metro area. Portland is not on the coast, it’s 95 miles inland, at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. You say you’ve driven all over Oregon, yet you don’t know that? You have not visited the eastern HALF of the state?
Houses in Portland must be a cheap as they are in Detroit by now.
Democrat leadership takes bow.
I’m guilty...of not remembering what was where. It was a decade ago, please be gentle with me. /:-P)
I only remember going to Portland twice for deliveries. Still can’t figure out why I thought it was coastal. Joe Biden’s dementia must be catching!
Anyway, Oregon has some beautiful country and I loved driving through it. There were some nice little mom and pop restaurants with some truck parking that had great food at very reasonable prices.
Most of the people I talked to were good decent people with a lot of common sense.
I remember a truck stop (a Pilot?) on I-5 that was right on a river. A big gorge with mountains on both sides. The first time I was there I woke up before dawn and walked in to get my morning coffee. When I walked outside I noticed a group of people standing at the edge of the parking lot just before the sun came up. Wondering what they were looking at I walked down. I could barely make out the other side of the river and asked the fella in front of me what was up. He said for me to wait a few minutes.
About 10 minutes later the sun came peeking up and I tell you it was the most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen.
I need to get back out there just to see the countryside.
