Police: North Portland demonstrators smashed windows, committed arson
This is rioting and vandalism, nothing more than criminal activity.
Whatever reason they assembled should be ignored and not discussed because of their actions.
We will not be held hostage by terrorists. People no longer present an argument, they go straight to violence.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Portland Police Bureau says a group of demonstrators committed arson in a dumpster at the bureau’s North Precinct and damaged several businesses Saturday night.
According to police, the group gathered in Peninsula Park at around 8 p.m. Saturday. About an hour later, the group began walking through the neighborhood.
Police said some people in the group vandalized the Starbucks coffee shop on Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, near Northeast Ainsworth Street. They broke windows and launched explosive devices at the building, police said.
They said two banks on Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, near Northeast Jarrett Street, were also vandalized. One was defaced with graffiti and another had its windows broken.
The demonstrators also damaged bus shelters and several street signs, police said.
