Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.
“When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder," Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.
"Don’t think for a moment that you are if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are," he said. "You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.”

So attempted murder is wrong because it might help Trump’s re-election chances.
Teddy be in trouble now
It is only OK to destroy peoples lives and burn out their businesses. Do we have to teach them everything?
A stern talking-to will set them straight.
This all could have been put to a stop by June 1st with the correct, proportional law enforcement response.
The largest mass murder in America was committed with a can of gasoline as the weapon. Happy Land nightclub, NYC.
87 dead, 25March1990
Isn’t he the mayor, you know, the top executive? What does he think his job is about?
Of course the mayors concern is it will help the President. He obviously is not concerned about the human lives at stake within the building, and took no measures to apprehend the perpetrators.
Exactly. Attempted murder will not be prosecuted, but please stop it because it will help Trump.
This country has gone insane.

Matt Gutman, ABC News
In January 2020, Gutman was suspended by ABC News for incorrectly reporting that, during the death of Kobe Bryant in the 2020 Calabasas helicopter crash, all four of Bryant’s children had died. Only Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter Gianna “Gigi” was on board the helicopter and perished in the crash - Wikipedia
Next is andersonville, but that was in time of war. We all know who ran that operation... which was technically a multiple murder, not a mass murder. That was 13,000 plus.
Probably more like 25,000 in reality.
Yes, he actually said that.
Sounds like it. I guess the corollary would be it’s alright to try and kill the police during an off year, just not during an election year.
What a freakin’ moron this guy is. They were helping President Trump’s reelection two months ago you horse’s ass. You sat back and did nothing but encourage them. You gave them free reign to do whatever they wanted. Live with your incompetency.
Yeah, nice principled stand by the mayor. /s
I hope Trump puts a spotlight on the mayor’s comment because it is revealing.
Two words:
LETHAL FORCE
The correct proportional response to blinding lasers and efforts to set fire to buildings while blocking exits is guns blazing until the threat is neutralized..
But we are not the country we used to be and the soccer mom vote would go to BIden because of the over-reaction and suppression of peaceful protest.
The point he was trying to make is, figure out a way to mass murder cops that doesn’t help Trump.
