Anonymous leftist militant claims Portland bank fire as revenge for Atlanta arrests: 'Long live anarchy!'

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.

All those beta orbiter cucks thought they could get with that girl. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been there.

And I didn’t think there was anything left to burn in Portland.

Two of the best civilizations on the planet, Japan and Singapore, aren't squeemish about hanging people that need hanging.

Interesting that even the anarchists in that bygone era dressed more civilized than the Antifa freakshow of today,

They liked the woods so much they should be buried in it.

Not quite sarcing. AG Garland will let them go with an admonishment that they need camping permits.

Albie, you are likely correct about poor parenting, but also consider that a lot of parents and grandparents are raising their kids “in the family tradition”.

Also , in general, these miscreants are anarchists or marxists.
And dealt with under articles of treason.

I no longer wonder about that, It's become quite obvious, and it sure ain't ours....
