Why were they protesting?

The pre-planned violence came in response to immigration policy being enacted under Biden, KOIN reported, specifically the reopening of a detention center for unaccompanied migrant children.

The facility — located in Carrizo Springs, Texas — is capable of housing hundreds of children, and was the site of controversy under former President Donald Trump.

The Biden administration said reopening the facility was necessary because of a spike in border crossings and coronavirus-related restrictions meant other government facilities designed to house migrant children have lower-than-normal capacity limits.

Reopening the facility earned Biden condemnation from immigration activists.

"It's unnecessary, it's costly, and it goes absolutely against everything Biden promised he was going to do," Linda Brandmiller, a San Antonio-based immigration lawyer who represents unaccompanied minors, told the Washington Post. "It's a step backward, is what it is. It's a huge step backward."

"When I read they were opening again, I cried," Rosey Abuabara, a San Antonio immigration activist, said. "I consoled myself with the fact that it was considered the Cadillac of [migrant child] centers, but I don't have any hope that Biden is going to make it better."

After a year of ANTFA running wild in Portland, and the local government unwilling to do anything to enforce the law, any small business owner who doesn’t leave the city is a fool as are all of the citizens who continue to vote for the politicians enabling the rioters.

They don’t care about the cause anymore. They just like to watch things burn. Treat them like the brigands they are.

who don’t the police or business owners just shoot a few ARMED attackers and arsonists? That would end this crap very quickly.

I know both the Seattle and Portland local DAs are Marxist aholes but there comes a tie when people have to legally protect themselves and their property.

Does CNN even cover this?

If so, is it a mostly peaceful protest? Or are they violent insurrectionists that the FBI should arrest immediately?

When does the FBI put up a billboard in Portland with a hotline for tips about violent agitators? When does Bank of America start checking the records of customers travelling back and forth, to and from Portland, on days that coincide with violent protests there?

ANTIFA Excuses for Violence

It was sunny, and very annoying...

It was a cloudy day, tough for your mental outlook...

There was a few pebbles of gravel in the street.

Street lights were working normally.

Three ANTIFA regulars needed new shoes.

Five guys were out of condoms.

I do not feel sorry for police when they abdicate their responsibility. Either fulfill your oath to protect & defend citizens or quit.

as long as their destruction takes place at night, they’re OK, according to Garland. Hardly a crime to be arrested for, and if by chance they are, no bail will be required, just catch and release.
