Protesters flocked to the Justice Center and the federal courthouse in Portland again on Friday night, lighting fires and burning American flags and Bibles in the streets.
According to the Portland Police, which did not engage with demonstrators, the crowd lit several fires, including a large bonfire in the middle of the street in front of the federal courthouse. One video shows protesters feeding a small fire with Bibles, which were engulfed in flames.

Indeed.
I’m good with it.
Vladimir Lenin was highly critical of religion, saying in his book Religion:
Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism.In The Attitude of the Workers’ Party to Religion, he wrote:
Religion is the opium of the people: this saying of Marx is the cornerstone of the entire ideology of Marxism about religion. All modern religions and churches, all and of every kind of religious organizations are always considered by Marxism as the organs of bourgeois reaction, used for the protection of the exploitation and the stupefaction of the working class.
Definition of riot in the state law (h/t tai_chung):

Cops were not doing their job; who told em to stand down?
Is there anything in state law that addresses the situation where officials are allowing a riot?

About 3.7 million students are expected to graduate from high school during the 2019–20 school year, including 3.3 million students from public schools and 0.3 million from private schools. Let's guesstimate that an average of 2.5 million graduated from high school annually from 1970 to 2020. That's 125 million high school graduates over that period. If only one-third of them were seriously indoctrinated into radical leftism and hate-America, we are dealing with 40 million seriously deranged people who want to destroy America. They have been taught that the USA is fundamentally irredeemable and must be wiped out.
So the problem has two parts: 1) How to fix the schools and 2) how to excise the 40 million strong cadre of hate-America leftists.
Anti-fa is run by the deep state and are paid terrorists. Of course the source who’s paying them to riot, burn Bibles, burn our flag and destroy our cities is also issuing stand down orders to elected officials including mayors, governors and senators who are probably also being paid by the deep state.
“Burning Bibles and American Flags.
That will gain them a lot of points with the American electorate...NOT!”
If the media, academia and government bureaucracies were ever to report the truth instead of lies, or to give an honest, unfiltered accounting of world events, socio-economic causes and effects, or political agendas - no Democrat would ever come close to winning another election.
The deliberate and widespread dissemination of lies and misinformation by our institutions, and the unfortunate propensity of good-hearted people to accept lies as gospel, is the tragedy of our time.
I am reminded of the saying “With freedom comes responsibility.”
Specifically, with Freedom of Speech comes the responsibility of patriots to remain vigilant in sensing the difference between truth and lies - between liberty and tyranny - and to educate future generations to do the same.
We have failed.
Perhaps it is true that the tree of Liberty must occasionally be watered by the blood of patriots.
Here in the Dallas area a group called “enough is enough” which is basically blm had a flier calling for “protest & removal of Confederate statues.” Note the local rag said it was supposed to be “4” not “&” like that makes a difference.
This group of 50 was met by FIVE HUNDRED local ARMED Patriots who said “this ain’t Portland!” The e/e group then went to another city with the same results. Then they all went home with their tail berween their legs.
I have never been more proud of my adoptive Texas homeland!
Don’t miss the indication that these satan inspired ‘protestrs’ hate Christians and the Bible is the easiest ‘thing’ they can destroy to illustrate their hatred. When the Christians are departed these same ‘people’ will be murdering anyone who turns to seek the Lord. These democrat voters are being lead by the god of this world, a murderer from the start. They may not wait until the Great Departure, so be prepared.
Burning Bibles.
Finally getting around to what they’re really after: faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
True communists!
Keep your powder dry.
Yup. The issue isn’t the issue. Not even the revolution is the issue. THIS is the issue.
Stars should be replaced with the hammer and sickle.
Would be great if someone trolled them with video tweet announcing...
Flash mob planned for Monday, August 3 at second and main Street at midnight. We’ll be burning rainbow and antifa flags, burning the koran, rules for radicals, main kampf, and the antifa handbook
Yes, generational brainwashing. Look at the Palestinians.
