PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland police say 100 anarchists marched through downtown Portland Tuesday night, doing $500,000 in damage.
In a press release, police said "100 people caused substantial damage to businesses and government buildings in downtown Portland," but the bureau altered the statement shortly thereafter, saying "100 anarchists" did the damage.
Police say the group hit 35 different locations, "including banks, retail stores, coffee shops, and government buildings." Graffiti on the side of Nordstrom Rack says, "Breakin windows is good."
According to social media posts, there was a direct-action march overnight at the same time. The march was in honor of Sean Kealiher. The activist was killed two years ago. His case remains unsolved.
Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said in a statement he is "concerned about the brazen criminal acts that took place downtown last night. I want to assure those who were victimized that investigations are underway, and we will do whatever we can to identify and arrest those who were responsible."
According to its press release, PPB said, at one point, activists laid down in front of police cars in an effort to prohibit officers from responding.
The damage, clear in the light of day, is extremely frustrating to many, including Lance Lewis, who works in downtown.
"I don’t understand what’s going on," Lewis said. "This city is in chaos, and something needs to be done. I don’t know, how about we enforce laws?"

ABC using the ‘A’ word no less.
There are no definitions for this word.
Be the first to define it!
“I don’t know, how about we enforce laws?”
Enforce laws? Obviously this guy is a racist and a domestic terrorist for suggesting such things!
A mostly peaceful protest, unlike those dirty J6 insurrectionists!
“According to its press release, PPB said, at one point, activists laid down in front of police cars in an effort to prohibit officers from responding.”
Speed bumps. Accelerator is on the right...
Oh, then it was an insurrection. Better call the feebles, their paid "just an idea" fellow travelers are staging a violent coup.
Not an insurrection.
“I don’t understand what’s going on,” Lewis said.
Because you are an idiot.
Portland: We don’t care!
WOW, are we sure it wasn’t the PROUD BOYS???
I guess we have to ask that Ahole Wray if the damage was caused by Antifa or Mother Teresa.
When is that Wray guy going to be evicted?????
There. Fixed it.
Was that $500k in damages or improvements? The place was already crappified starting two years ago.
Strangely enough, there's no mention of a single arrest.
I like the “Retail Ready” sign. Guess, not quite.
“I don’t know, how about we enforce laws?”
You most likely voted for it Lance.
Embrace the Suck.
Kristallnacht = "the Night of Broken Glass" (9–10 November 1938)
Last year the democrat administration helped organize, promoted, and allowed the destructive riots. No reason to think that this year’s riot is any different.
Since it was democrat sponsored, the perps knew they could do it again and that they would never be prosecuted.
I didn’t see anything in the article about how many of the a words were arrested, or fell down a flight of stairs while resisting arrest. Is that in another article to be published later?
