On July 5, 2020, hundreds of militant Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists returned to again attack federal law enforcement officers outside the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse in downtown Portland. They were masked and dressed in black as they tried to burn down the federal building. They also assaulted construction crews who were working around the clock to replace wooden barriers that were torn down by Antifa rioters the previous night.
Christopher Fellini, 31, was arrested that night and charged with assaulting a federal officer. In his possession, officers found a knife, pepper spray and a powerful laser. For weeks on end, rioters had organized into subdivisions that used laser pointers to blind and injure the eyes of cops. Fellini's name stood out because he was previously charged at another fiery Portland Antifa riot in 2017 (his charge was ultimately dropped).
Another federal arrestee was Andrew Steven Faulkner, 24, who was also charged with assaulting an officer. During his arrest, he was found carrying pipe bomb components and a sheathed machete. He later pleaded guilty but was not given prison time.
For the next four weeks, Antifa's plan of escalating attacks on federal property to provoke a federal response for the cameras produced the exact propaganda they wanted. On any given night, there were dozens who identified as press. At its peak there were probably more than a hundred journalists and live streamers, most of whom were sympathetic to the rioters and protesters. Instinctively, and at the urging or demand of others, their cameras were trained solely on law enforcement to capture their every move. Those who ran afoul of Antifa's rules were forced out or assaulted and robbed. Left‐wing live streamer Tristan Taylor was beaten to the ground and had his recording equipment stolen.

WUT? Who the.......
I used to be a happy and proud American all the time. Now I am ashamed...ashamed of our Congress of Nothing-Good-Comes-from-It except excuses for horrific behavior (Witness Lying Nancy and her most recent expenditure on the stock Market, her support of BLM and Antifa, her disgraceful attempts to crucify Trump, and on and one). She is despicable and a source of my deep unhappiness with the USA. But she is not the only one...Romney is a very very close Second...and there are others, many others.
I wish there was a “Truther” drug capable of being aerosolized. Wouldn’t Congress be interesting then...throw in the Mask Czar of CDC and all the people who are perpetuating the lies of the Covid virus and all the people who are telling all the people that the vaccine will “protect them all” the while the virus is happily developing new subtypes and that the masks are going to prevent transmission of any and all viruses. All those people should go to Liar Prison.
look at the author, but yes, surprising they allowed it.
Newsweak has a rebelious streak. Too bad it never shows during an election year.
Looks like the left’s shooock troops have outlived teir usefulness to the Biden/Harris coup d’etat.
