Anonymous leftist militant claims Portland bank fire as revenge for Atlanta arrests: 'Long live anarchy!'
Fox News ^ | 01/01/2023 | Jon Brown |

An anonymous person reportedly affiliated with Antifa has claimed responsibility for a recent fire at a bank in Portland, Oregon, as retaliation for the recent arrests of five alleged domestic terrorists in Atlanta.

A two-alarm fire broke out at the Bank of America branch on Southeast 37th Avenue and Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland at 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 31, according to local KGW8.

No injuries were reported at the scene and the Portland Fire Investigations Unit is still investigating the cause of the fire, but Portland police confirmed that it is being investigated as arson...

The post on Abolition Media noted the anonymous communiqué was first posted on "Scenes from the Atlanta Forest," a blog referring to left-wing resistance against the future site of a police training center in the woods outside Atlanta.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) conducted a raid on Dec. 13 at a location referred to as the Autonomous Zone near the forested location of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.

The location had been occupied by far-left extremists who had traveled from other parts of the country in an attempt to prevent the construction of the facility.

Five individuals were arrested at a protest at the location after protesters threw rocks at police cars and attacked EMT workers with rocks and bottles at a fire station near the site, according to a Dec. 14 press release from the GBI.

The GBI reported that during the raid they discovered explosive devices and gasoline.

Bunch of punks. Their parents should be ashamed of themselves. This doesn’t happen when raised properly and you watch who they associate with. You are who you hang out with.

Sounds like a national level terrorist organization to me.

FBI? DOJ? DHS? DNI? Wake up! Not woke up.

Good for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for arresting these filthy scumbags.

I guess they thought they were in Portland or New York City or Philadelphia or Chicago or Seattle or San Francisco.

I’m glad if these trashy people decide to burn a bank that Bank of America, being as anti-American fascist as any bank out there, is a darn good one to target. Portland nor B Of A probably want any charges pressed, their being part of the problem.

It is long past time for us to treat anarchists like they used to be treated in the 1800s.

“Long live anarchy!” is really funny, considering it’s as far-right as one can get - no government instead of communistic authoritarian government, which is what ANTIFA seems to want.

Spoiler alert: Fascism fits what most of them say they want, too.

It would be a real shame if some armed patriots caught them in the act.

Antifa is also rife with pedophiles.

The notion of no government is not “far right”. Do you consider the Founding Fathers to be to the left of anarchists? They clearly said that “to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed” in the Declaration of Independence, and that the remedy to tyrannical government was to “alter or abolish it and to institute new government” et al. That is, frankly, to the right of any other system that I know of.

The Communist Manifesto panders to anarchists, when they claim that “(i)n place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.” This was said in conjunction with the absurd notion that the state under socialism “withers away”.
