Chris Davis, deputy police chief of the Portland Police Bureau, said in a July 8 press conference, “This was a more violent episode of civil unrest than we had — than I have ever seen in my entire career at Portland Police Bureau.”
He was referring to events on the night of May 29. Imagine what he must be saying now.
In Portland, Oregon, the three-month mark of continuing criminality approaches. The chaos in that city has been occurring nightly since May 29, when the Multnomah County Justice Center was set on fire, and criminals began their monthslong assault on police officers and their city. Similar activity has continued this week.
On Monday, groups marched, blocked traffic, and shined lasers at officers. As they marched, they shouted, "What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now! If we don't get it? Burn it down!"
On Tuesday, they came back and set dumpster fires, broke windows at the Multnomah County building, and then set it on fire. They have continued to throw rocks, glass bottles, and paint balloons at police officers.
On Wednesday and Thursday, groups gathered outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building and began vandalizing it and shining lasers at the federal officers. The officers exited the building and began to disperse the crowds, along with Portland police.
On Friday, several federal buildings in Portland were closed after authorities received a threat that a vehicle filled with explosives would target a federal building.
It is unconscionable that this violence and destruction has continued for 85 days. Public officials, including Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, have basically aided and abetted the violence for months because it has been happening in such close proximity (physically and ideologically) to protests against police brutality, which they support.

BLM is a terrorist organization, trained by UN back NGOs and deployed for civil unrest to kick-off a Ukraine style civil war and has little to do with black lives. PERIOD

The mayor and governor need to be indicted for RICO.
They need to be made to _own_ this.
The democrat politicians are 100% responsible for the crime.
No it’s not normal. You have abnormal poiticians and you accept it despite the fact that they are lying delusionist Marxists with a surreal view of humanity.
Law abiding citizens have to wear masks.
Criminals looting stores do not have to wear masks and feel no reason to hide their identity.
Cities burn and people treat it as a normal thing.
The Mayors, the Governors and the Media attack anyone who dares to say this is madness.
If the people of Oregon find violence, looting, anarcy and destruction to their liking let them have it — and live with the consequences. They seem to embrace it so let them live with the inevitable consequences.
The democrat politicians are 100% responsible for the crime.
**************
Ultimately the voters are.
Portland is a lovely city for a dog..........
Very few people in Portland seem to think this is a problem. These ‘relatively’ normal people should pack up and leave. Let Portland burn to the ground.
OREGON PING
If you’d like to be on the Oregon ping list, please freep mail me.
Property values are dropping rapidly in Democrat/marxist run urban areas. Who in their right mind would purchase property, move in or locate a business in such places? Who in their right mind would vote for these Democtat/marxists?
It is not criminality. It is insurrection.
Wrong diagnosis = wrong treatment.
The mob will not re-appear....ever.

The port of Portland closed in 2015. The city will shrink to a fraction of its former size and financial viability. This is not only an attempt by Socialist Democrats to force us to bail out their failed cities but also an attempt by locals to stem their decline to mirror Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, Camden, Trenton, Bridgeport, Baltimore, Oakland, Beirut, and the rest of a long list.
Detroit was one of the first cities with ruins (outside of wartime) where former residents were still alive and could come back to visit (or host tours). This next round of ruined cities will be the same. Whether the bulldozer or slow decay, the city will face the same fate. The only question is the timeline and the casualty rate.
Remember it’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes that count. I think one of the great said this or something like it.
