Apparent Molotov cocktail explodes outside federal courthouse in Portland

Portland rioters launched what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail at a federal courthouse early Tuesday morning during another tense standoff between protesters and federal law enforcement, police said.

The incendiary device exploded into a fireball in front of the Mark O. Hatfield courthouse just after midnight, with the blast felt more than a block away, Portland police said in a statement.

Video posted on Twitter shows the homemade bomb going off — and then the crowd cheering.

The courthouse has been at the center of the nightly protests in the city, sparked by the police-involved death of George Floyd on May 25.

More than 100 federal agents were deployed to Portland last week in response to the violent protests and have used flash bangs, pepper bombs and tear gas to break up the wild crowds.

In response, protesters have shot fireworks and laser beams at them, while repeatedly targeting the federal courthouse.

“Shoot the incendiaries.”

Molotov cocktails are not explosives, they are incendiaries.

To explode, it was likely combined with something else.

It was a nonviolent molotov cocktail, according to the MSM.

Does any thinking person still believe this fairy tale. The BLM people sure don’t. They think this is all about the November election. Their message: “Vote for Joe Biden or the burning and looting will continue. A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for peace.”

No thanks BLM.

Police MUST shoot anyone who throws a firebomb. Instead, police are ordered to bow down in submission to the marxist terrorists, chanting “George Floyd. I am dirt.”

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Barry is an example of the reason our founders put that NBC requirement in our Constitution.

Too bad the Uniparty and Chief Justice ignored it.

Yes.

Looks like a quarter stick, maybe.

The msm has been calling these "fireworks".

They are being used as ieds that can maim and kill and need to be treated as such.

The Boston Marathon bombs were ieds made from fireworks.

Molotovs are incendiary, not explosive. This was an IED.
