Have Portland’s Professional Protesters™ been smoked out? Since May 29th, Portland has been the back drop of more than 100 nights of antifa, anarchist and Black Lives Matter, Inc™ terroristic riots. They set fires, looted, and intimidated people by threatening to burn them alive in their homes.
But after the millions of dollars of destruction, criminality and thuggery it stopped last week. Poof!
Why?
I certainly don’t want to tempt these thugs, but it can’t go without saying that Portland’s 100 plus days of riots appeared to end after Wednesday, September 9th.
That was the last time the Portland Police Bureau warned about protests.
SW Jefferson to SW Salmon from SW 1st to SW Broadway is closed to pedestrians but open for vehicular traffic. All people must leave the area to the west now. Champman and Lownsdale Squares are now closed.

The usual live-streamers decamped to other riots and fires.
By September 10th, the overworked cops from Portland Police Bureau were offered out to assist other agencies. Suddenly, instead of being required to work the riots lines, they were free.
I have offered @ClackCoSheriff and @ORStatePolice PPB officers to assist with emergencies related to fires. PPB recognizes the need for us all to come together as a state to assist one another in this time of need.

Either the poll numbers are going down or the democrat party’s thug army is rearming up for later.
They spread them out to other cities, and they are all heading to DC for the “siege”.
If so I guess it is clear evidence that they never were organized to begin with just as they claimed. /s
Best to raise an issue with a proposed answer/solution unless it’s an obvious rhetorical question.
Correct.
Gosh, Mr. Floyd is still dead. Police forces all across the Country are still policing and attempting to apprehend criminals. What changed? Why did they give up? If they were so committed to the cause...
Unless of course it was never really about their stated goals, but more about simply causing chaos - dress rehearsals and testing the waters to see how far they could go...
“I suspect they are all headed to DC for the siege on the White House.”
I think that is what’s up, too. DC, or maybe other cities to instigate simultaneous rioting.
The smoke is supposed to clear out this weekend so we will see. Very unhealthy to be outside in Seattle area, I assume Portland is even worse.
RE: If so I guess it is clear evidence that they never were organized to begin with just as they claimed. /s
Oh, they’re organized, it’s just that (Thankfully), they don’t have enough people, so they have to concentrate their resources in places where they can inflict maximum pain and gain more Media publicity.
My guess is they are moving to D.C., the new ground zero for future rioting, before and after the election.
That picture is so appropriate.
Who ever came up with that was a hell of a fortune teller.
It would look great up on a billboard.
Same reason fires stopped.
It was hurting RATS instead of Trump.
Exactly.
Maybe they are moving to DC for the WH Siege which is scheduled for Sept 17 — tomorrow.
I think you nailed it Darth. Suddenly with the federalisation rioting has consequences for rioters not just victims.
“Polls number going down, so their Democrat controllers told them to stand down.”
Agree. Media began to say riots helping Trump....poof, they stopped. imho, Democrats devious behavior sinks lower each day. God help America.
Its effectiveness has peaked so Soros says: “pull back for now and regroup and restock for NOVEMBER.”
I think they are now setting the wildfires and looting instead.
Winner!
