Rioters marched on the home of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler overnight Monday into Tuesday, looting nearby stores and setting furniture on fire in the street. At one point, they reportedly set fires inside the condominium building itself.
The Oregonian reported:
More than 200 people on Monday night marched to the Pearl District condominium tower where Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler lives to demand his resignation.
The demonstration quickly turned destructive as some in the crowd lit a fire in the street, then placed a picnic table from a nearby business on top of the fire to feed the blaze. People shattered windows and broke into a ground-floor dental office took items including a chair, also added to the fire, and office supplies.
Shortly after 11 p.m., a bundle of newspapers was set ablaze and thrown into a ground-floor storefront in the residential building.

At least it was mostly peaceful.

Now they’re trying to burn down the appartment building where the Mayor of Portland lives.
I hope Trump stays the hell out of their way.
Finally! Using some common sense!~
I am not even sure our Democrat MSM can spin the narrative for this saga!
I suppose it should have been predictable that these “people” would turn on their own. I hope it continues.
The condo association president should come out and read these people the riot act! It clearly states in the HOA docs...”no burning tower to ground”.

Portland’s mayoral history is disturbing.
@tedwheeler
may not be the worst. Mayor Sam Adams had a homosexual romantic relationship with an underage boy that was overlooked because he was an out gay man. Mayor Goldschmidt raped his 14-year-old babysitter.

Incredibly, Ted Wheeler may not be the worst mayor Oregon’s largest city has had in recent years.

Funny thing is, this is actually more appropriate action over their ostensible grievances than torching random businesses that had nothing to do with their perceived government oppression.
Also, sorry about everyone else who lives there, but they need to move somewhere else. Today.
Really?! I can easily see it happening. And it won't get the left that gets the blame.

They know what the city is all about. They chose to live there.
It appears the residents feel they can live with the mess. Its one big CHOP and they’re OK with it.
I love when they turn on each other. How soon before the mayor does what Chicago’s mayor did and shuts down all around his residence?

It’s Trump’s fault.
No sale, JoeJoe. Shine Berrie’s shoes, Monkey Man. He’s clean. He’s articulate.

Watch out Stones...they’ll be coming after you racists next...right after they burn down all White Castles and Cracker Barrels.
Keith is obviously indestructible.
GREAT intro...as most Rolling Stone’s songs had.
True, but there might be a few innocent people that are new to the area.
If they support the mayor, they can feel free to stay there. Anyone who doesn’t had best find other lodgings.

Perhaps a few, but anyone who drives into Portland can’t escape seeing the consequences of far left politics and the conditions it fosters.
Chickens.... meet roost.
Appeasement never works.
Try some more Mr. Mayor..............maybe it’ll work this time..........
