WATCH: Portland Restaurant Set Ablaze After Owner Criticizes Antifa

Portland Fire and Rescue officials are looking to question a person seen in surveillance footage apparently setting fire to a local restaurant. The suspected arsonist acted after the restaurant owner criticized vandalism in the area committed by Antifa.

On November 23, a suspected arsonist set fire to Reo’s Ribs located in Portland’s Hollywood District, Breitbart News reported. When firefighters arrived on the scene, they observed smoke pouring out of the rear of the building and flames both on the interior and exterior.

This reference may come in handy not too far into the future.

Who gives a rat patooties about a lock down. If the people elect the sorry bunch of political figures it is the people’s fault for electing the officials and its the officials fault for implementing it. If they don’t vote the officials out of office then it is ultimately the people’s fault for keeping in office what they despise. Lockdown scmockdown. If the people don’t want a lockdown and the officials have implemented a lockdown in the past, don’t vote for that official again. We are a Representative Republic meaning we elect people who represent us. If we elect the wrong dufus then kick his sorry butt to the curb. If they continue to elect the dufus, then it is their fault. They reap what they sow. Even if they don’t have another lockdown in our lifetimes again. Doesn’t depend on the lockdown. It depends on the actions of the electors.
