Police declare riot on 84th night of protests, after vandalism at ICE building in Southwest Portland - oregonlive.com

Marchers arrived, beating drums and playing guitars, chanting and singing. A dozen or so briefly pounded on the windows. Soon after, a Federal Protective Service announcement warned protesters against damaging the building or setting fires. Failure to comply, the announcement continued, could lead to arrest or crowd-control munitions.

Protesters then spray-painted expletives on the building’s windows, shoved traffic cones over security cameras and attempted to break windows. For much of the night, protesters blocked Southwest Bancroft Street, Moody Avenue and an off-ramp from Southwest Macadam Boulevard.
...

Protesters eventually circled back and returned to the ICE building, where one protester took to a loudspeaker to describe Oregon’s long history of racism and racist policies. Just before 11 p.m., a few people broke at least three front windows, drawing federal officers back out.

Close to midnight, a crowd of about 100 gathered near Southwest Gaines Street and Bond Avenue, where protesters set a fire in the middle of the intersection. They tossed two restaurant benches into the blaze, drawing ire from some living in the dense neighborhood with low-income housing, market-rate apartments, high-end condos and a retirement/assisted living facility.

How long is Portland going to allow this to continue?

How long is Portland going to allow this to continue?

Until after the elections.

 

[OrphanSlug]

So somewhere between 100 - 200 people (OP source.)

Look on the bright side, several months ago this was in the thousands or more when these protests were about another matter but this is seemingly about ICE.

Perhaps in a few months this will look more like the 'we are the 99%' occupier movement, where eventually there were just a few tents left in public parks for those who's parents kicked them out permanently.

 

[TheParser]

Too bad that the good people (viz., those who did not vote for the current Portland city officials) cannot afford to all leave the city.

Then the hoodlums would have the city to themselves and inevitably turn on one another.

What has happened to the once peaceful and gracious city of Portland is a tragedy beyond words.

And it will be happening to many more cities if (as is likely), the Dems "win" on November 3, in probably the most corrupt election in our history.

Well, they can't blame Trump anymore for it.

 

[Redwing]

Until after the elections.

When Trump wins it will get worse. Portland, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Baltimore are lost. All have been controlled by democrats for decades and every term the mayors get weaker and further left.
The residents are too blind to understand they are spinning down the toilet.
At some point, there will be violence and the lefties haven't figured out on one side there are over a trillion rounds of ammunition and the other side cannot figure out which bathroom to use.

I doubt it will continue if he gets reelected. Most likely he's allowing the savages to show their asses so the same voters can see what's happening. He said he has some 75,000 law enforcement officers at his disposal, and that doesn't even include the military and National Guard he can federalize at will.

True for virtually everything.

I agree. With a win he gets a law, and order mandate. Leftie mayor's will be pissed.

The will of the people will not be stomped on by the fascists pigs. This will continue until substantial change occurs.

They should be arrested and tried on federal charges for allowing their cities to fall into utter chaos.

 

[VanceMack]

You and other 'people' like you are the problem.

 

[Redwing]

The will of the people will not be stomped on by the fascists pigs. This will continue until substantial change occurs.

Actually this will continue until the sane public decides to put these bedwetting acne farms in their place. Hopefully these idiots will continue to make campaign ads for President Trump right up to the election.

 

[Fletch]

Another leftist defender or Marxist violence against an imaginary fascist foe. But as long as you are a supporter or such mindless rage, what sort of 'change' are these hoodlums demanding? The right to destroy private property and assault people they dont like on the streets?

The Democrats are ignoring, if not tacitly approving, if not outright baiting the violent riots in hopes that they will capture just one viral, Kent State moment, so they can use it against Trump and win on Nov. 3. Or in the weeks and months after Nov. 3 as they fight to claw out a win, in the aftermath of the election.

 

[apdst]

Until after the elections.

Unless Trump wins, then it'll be four more years of riots.

I won't be surprised if and when Pantifa's comeuppance arrives at the end of a muzzle. People are fed the **** up.

 

[Acadia]

Yup, there will be 2024 to think about for the Dems.

You condone destroying private property and attempted murder of private citizens to get your way?

Why should we let cities be held hostage by 100-200 violent thugs? Perhaps the good people of the city should organize some sort of protective security type force to round up these criminals and detain them in some fashion so that law abiding citizens can go about their lives without fear. From what I understand, other cities have things they call police and jails and judges for this sort of thing. Perhaps that could be tried.

That's too racist and sexist for Libs.

They don't just represent the values of BLM... for the principle it was originally speaking about, THEY have expanded it to acknowledge how policies against blacks damage them as white people equally so. (This is good awareness !!!! )

These are White People, who have finally awakened to the fact that every policy, law and process that was designed to hurt, damage and disenfranchise black people has done the EXACT same thing to them... So, they want Black Lives To Matter, so the policy, law and process can be changed to respect EVERYONE. "They NOW KNOW- Equality, Fairness, Justice and Opportunity MUST be FOR EVERYONE.

IF... the damages had not affected them personally, they would not be Protesting and damaging anything. They are showing society, that WHITE PEOPLE will damage stuff when the policy, law and process that was designed to damage and disenfranchise blacks HAS NOW BECOME A REALITY THEY UNDERSTAND AS HAVING THE EXACT SAME IMPACT ON THEM.

They now know... that Racism is a double edge sword and it cuts back and forth and has cut them deeply... so now, they are awakened to the fact that Racism Must Be Abolished.

THIS IS A GOOD THING,
BECAUSE
THEY ARE NOW AWAKENED
AND
STANDING UP FOR EQUALITY FOR ALL​

( Most Conservative have shallow attention spans and can't think in ways that provide perspective to enhance understanding)...

These White People are not backing down,
BECAUSE
They Now See what 100's of years of Racist Ignorance
Has
Equally So
Done To Them.

this is not the only areas that once had deep and expansive racism, they have awakened, there will be many more people and many more places, just as places and people around the world have come to the same understanding.

No. These are brain dead Marxists who seek to achieve their goals through violence and who are being enabled by leftist politicians too cowardly to take them on
