Protesters in Portland and Seattle Shatter Windows and Light Fires
NYT ^ | 1/21/21 | Mike Baker and Hallie Golden

PORTLAND, Ore. — Protesters in the Pacific Northwest smashed windows at a Democratic Party headquarters, marched through the streets and burned an American flag on Wednesday in a strident challenge by antifascist and racial-justice protesters to the new administration of President Biden, whose promised reforms, they declared, “won’t save us.”

In Portland, Ore., lines of federal agents in camouflage — now working under the Biden administration — blanketed streets with tear gas and unleashed volleys of welt-inducing pepper balls as they confronted a crowd that gathered outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building near downtown. Some in the crowd later burned a Biden-for-President flag in the street.

It seems that they damaged the original Starbucks located in Pioneer Square (Seattle) — what used to be a tourist attraction. Hubby told me that visitors from Japan would go to that original Starbucks just to see it and take photos.

This is like the tenth article I have seen on this subject (not complaining about FR), simply stating that felchi-fa has been doing this stuff non stop for months and months and months, yet articles about their antics were always described as “peaceful” even with the backdrop of raging building infernos. It is almost as if something has changed, some term keeps springing to mind. “Useful idiots” who’s usefulness is done. Perhaps they should consider not being so uppity

It’s now faux-president Walter’s circus and his monkeys. He owns it.

Landrew, and his organized society, is a great metaphor for the swamp and totalitarianism.

Both the NYT and local press refered to the Portland activities as “protests”. In Portland one group of rioters severely damaged ICE headquarters, another damaged the Democratic Party headquarters, and the third “street protect” damaged various properties along the route. In all cases deadly items were thrown at police. Yet in no case were these characterized as riots/rioters.

The New York Times is gonna lie every time.

What is interesting is what “the party line” is.

I am convinced Antifa is an arm of the Deep State, at least partially because of the way they are covered by the Mockingbird Mass Media.

If the establishment media turned on Antifa, that would persuade me I was mistaken and they were somewhat independent.

Guess CJ Roberts’ riot prevention plan isn’t working so well.
