On July 20, 2020 large groups of people gathered in downtown Portland in Chapman Square Park and Lownsdale Square Park and in Waterfront Park near the Salmon Springs Fountain. At about 9:00 p.m. the crowds converged on SW 3rd Avenue outside the Justice Center and gave speeches. Cars, motorcycles and bicycles blocked streets around the crowd.
At about 10:15 p.m. the crowd walked through downtown streets eventually returning to the area of the Federal Courthouse around 11:30 p.m. The crowd grew and people began spray painting the Justice Center and Federal Courthouse. People tampered with and climbed on the gate leading under the Justice Center and pounded on plywood on the exterior of the building. They behaved similarly at the Federal Courthouse.
Several hundred people concentrated on the west side of the Federal Courthouse and dozens of them pounded on and began breaking the plywood covering the west side of the building. People were using hammers, crowbars and other pry tools. Many people could be seen carrying bats and shields, people wore helmets and gas masks. At about 12:45 a.m. on July 21, 2020, people broke through the plywood outside the courthouse and started pounding windows with metal objects, breaking at least one window. Hundreds of people were packed tightly in the portico on the west side of the courthouse pushing toward the entrance.

I’ve heard that President Hitler is using heavy handed tactics against peaceful protesters. But I’m not seeing it.
So now we have open rebellion.
Q: What are the police there for then?
A: To draw chalk lines around the bodies.
I don’t buy it, even just watching Philadelphia, fires from the riots and arson were visible from up the river.
This proves the need for Federal agents in the cities.
It’s an attack on a FEDERAL property. Shoot them and ask questions later.
Wow... I’m glad they were not acting violently!
No cause for alarm, folks...These are just “mostly peaceful protests” against extreme police brutality......
“...Portland Police Bureau officers did not deploy CS gas and made no arrests...”
Look how brutal the police force is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Systemic racism and or white privilege has been on the rise ever sense obama said it was.
If you want to blame somebody:
Portland protests: Mayor demands federal officers leave city

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler says he’ll keep leading police bureau, city exploring legal action to address federal officers at protests
He is accomplishing what he set out to do...Divide and conquer the USA....
This is the narrative which is a lie. Even the scum #NeverTrumps are spreading this slop fake news.
Let it burn. All of it.
Let the inmates run the asylum.
And be sure to get lots of film footage of it so this chaos can be used in TV commercials against the Dems later this fall.

A: To hand chalk to the rioters and politely axe them to draw the lines around the bodies.
“The crowd grew and people began spray painting the Justice Center and Federal Courthouse. “
My question is what did that poor federal building ever do to these people?
***Hundreds of people were packed tightly in the portico on the west side of the courthouse pushing toward the entrance.***
Claymores! Fire off the Claymores!
