Portland, Oregon, Mayor Ted Wheeler said Monday the ongoing criminal destruction and violence occurring in his city, which has been the epicenter of protests against racial injustice for eight months, is “unacceptable.”

At a news conference Monday, Wheeler also said he had filed a police report about an “incident” that happened to him, but he did not elaborate. Later, his office said in a statement that the mayor filed a police report over something that happened Sunday evening.

Trump not sending in the Guard was a stroke of genius. He’s making liberals like Wheeler own it, and pretty soon people will get it and vote them out.

the burning and the tear downs and the beatings and the window smashing were all fine and dandy up until the election but now all of a sudden they’re not liking it...

Decrying it isn’t going to be enough. Red Ted is gonna have to send them all a sternly worded letter. In all caps.

Really won’t make much difference soon. All that will be left are the loonies, burnt out store fronts, tons of illegals and government workers. Pray for the normal people that are unable to escape the coming Hell of the West Coast.

Now that Trump is out of office, there’s no longer a need to create a climate of fear, confusion and violence to blame on him.

What worries me is no matter who’s label is on it, it could be used as an excuse to declare martial law across the country by a wrong and dangerous administration to round up all anti-government labels guilty or not.

STFU Wheeler unless you have been turned down by your governor for Natl Guard troops.

If that doesn’t work, your sheriff can DEPUTIZE as many as is needed.

Brown, Wheeler, Wyden and Merkely are slaves to the CCP. The CCP wants the Port of Portland.
Therefore, Oregon’s politicians will give it to them and they’ve been getting paid handsomely for it. The rioting is a decency to keep everybody out and to keep everyone from knowing what’s really going on in there.
Most of the blue states are being bought by the CCP. Just like the regime they have occupying DC. You can figure out the rest.
