"Participants have thrown multiple firebombs at officers and launched commercial grade fireworks at the Federal Courthouse and Justice Center," the Portland Police Bureau wrote on Twitter just as the new year arrived early Friday.


With fire bombs being thrown at police officers and small businesses being destroyed maybe the police should do a little more than posting on the internet.

The police are doing something about the situation; they’re resigning en masse.

What, and be brought up on charges, fired, and sued?

Are these more of the mostly peaceful protests we’ve been hearing about?

Is there a point when residents will get sick of this?

The title...”Portland police declare riot as city’s unrest carries into new year”....

Has it ever not been in riot mode?

To a Democrat, the explanation is easy. Crime is caused by Capitalism. A Socialist State removes the reason for crime, (greed), so police are not required.

Simple, isn't it?

They are ordered not to. If they don’t obey, they get
fired for cause which impacts their ability to find work
elsewhere.

Portland is lost for the moment.

You’d think the citizens would wake up, but they sure are
sound sleepers.

Let them have the city and show the whole country what a democratic hell really looks like.

Democratic control is screwing up the west coast of the United States! Oregon and Washington states are prime examples of why to think a little before you vote democrat. I am awed by how democratic leadership is responsible for what is going on in Portland and Seattle. It’s just a disgrace that they don’t come down hard on these thugs that are rioting and looting.

Soon they will have destroyed the shithole and settle down to repressive communism. Anyone with the means and common sense will have left by now. Pray for those trapped without the means to leave.

In Portland we have the flower power generation’s kids and
grand-kids coming of age.

For three generations now, there have been people who were
unbelievably challenged with regard to morality, and now
their children and grand-children are leading the way
there.

For decades now we have witnessed the moronic leadership at
high-schools dismissing the kids from graduation exercises
with the word, “You are the new leaders of the world.”

Too much brainless belief in that, as if they were in any
way prepared to lead, has had it’s toll on society.

Many of these kids out on the streets now, heard those very
words in their relatively recent past.

Can’t wait to see what their generation brings... /s

There is a theory out there that about ever third
generation the kids rebel, and go in a different direction
than their parents.

One can only hope...

Woohoo. Way to go, Portland! Burn, baby, burn.

You reap what you sow. We will see if they ever learn. Nah, I doubt it.
