Portland was rocked by a violent, 100-person protest that caused $500,000 in damage

Police stood idle as rioters destroyed the city, citing a new law that prevents law enforcement from using means of crowd control like pepper spray, tear gas or incapacitating projectiles

Cops added they have not received full clarity on the bill's limits, so are following the most restrictive interpretation of it

Antifa rioters tore through the city following a memorial for an activist killed in October 2019, whose mother organized the protest and called it a 'night of rage and anger'

Definition of insanity . . . these libs are completely insane.

Portland is now the equivalent of Mos Eisley Spaceport and You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy in all of Oregon

What the heck is wrong with people up there who vote in others that make those sort of stupid decisions and laws. I lived in Olympia and Seattle for many years. I have lots of family still there. That law you described is just stupid insanity. Does everyone have a death wish up there? I’m in California with the same sort of stupidity. But there are many here that still fight these yahoos. We are just outnumbered.

what no twitter ban?

Well now...just another evening of peaceful protesting in Portland.

[caww]

I don’t feel a bit sorry for them this time either.......the citizens complain and do not support their Police....so this is certainly ok with them regardless how they might complain.

Does that mean we are now like a lawless city

Only for a relatively short time until you get federal police which is what this is all about... federalizing local law enforcement.

[knarf]

Not if you still recognize your second amendment right

This is what they do when they grow up believing that nothing is more important than their own self-esteem. They’re not busy defending anything they helped to plan, engineer, design, build and maintain, they’re busy destroying the potential for successful endeavor(s) of the future with nothing but signs of their having created “auto-destructive art” left in their wake. They expect so much more than what they offer that it would give pause to reflect on whether or not it’s wise to invest in their future.

Enjoy what you voted for.

[Ikeon]

Whats really going on?? They want to federalize the police..BINGO.

[BradyLS]

But look on the bright side: no mean tweets!

[ronnie raygun]

the chickens have come home to roost, you have continually voted for this crap and now you are enjoying the results. What did you expect??

[Pollard]

Does that mean we are now like a lawless city?

Where have they been the past two years?

[Osagegirl]

Duh?????

Portland has turned into the movie, “Sin City.” All that’s missing are the militant hookers and a hero.

"A Portland activist died after being hit by an SUV early Saturday near a Northeast Portland cidery and left-wing hangout, according to multiple people who knew him.

Police identified Sean D. Kealiher, a 23-year-old Portland resident, as the man who was hit after leaving Cider Riot, a Couch Street gathering place for antifascists, anarchists and other leftists. Shots were fired at the car after it hit Kealiher, and the vehicle crashed into a building."

Hmmm...wrong place at the right time. The guy's mom sounds like the same piece of shit chip off the old block.

[virgil]

It’s like Krystallnacht. The police stood by and did nothing.
