City saw a second, peaceful march early Sunday and violence is 'abating,' say DHS and Portland police
More than 150 rounds were fired and one woman was shot in Portland on Friday night while protesters on Saturday – some of whom appeared to impersonate press – threw glass bottles and shined lasers at city police officers sent to quell the nighttime unrest witnessed for more than two months straight.
Saturday marked the third night of federal and state law enforcement cooperation in Portland, as the Department of Homeland Security continues to weigh plans to withdraw from the liberal Oregon city. It was the 64th straight day of violent demonstrations and rioting in Portland.
A shooting rang out about 11:08 p.m. Friday outside an apartment building near the 600 Block of NE 87th Avenue. The Portland Police Bureau said in an update Saturday that more than 150 rounds were fired and bullets struck at least eight occupied apartments and seven vehicles. One round struck a woman in the arm, and responding officers applied a tourniquet before she was transported to the hospital by ambulance with injuries that were not life-threatening.
This is America and it’s a war zone with 150 shots in an apartment complex close to a Christian university. How can we explain that?” Aragon Marks, who lives at the building, told Fox 12 Oregon.

150 rounds and only 1 shot that I can tell.
The Apple Dumpling Gang.
If only they would defund the police, we could eliminate all this police caused violence. /s
“Mostly peaceful” must be under 200 rounds fired.
More range time. /s
Just my guess, but it’s probably a non-Antifa/BLM group, who just wants to tighten up the tensions in Portland a bit more. A lot of radicals out there who just want this to flip into a revolution.
The other 149 rounds? "Missed it by that much" --Agent Maxwell Smart
Also they could be extras in a remake of The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. (1971).
Looking up the date for perfect posting accuracy here I saw that Leigh Taylor Young was in it (so was the punk Robert DeNiro). Always was a fan of hers back then.
If only someone warned us that first would come the looting and then would come the shooting.
One-hundred fifty rounds and only one person hit? That sounds like garden variety gang hijinx. It may not have had anything at all to do with those pesky peaceful protesters.
Impossible, Dems assured us that the violence was solely due to Trump’s ‘storm troopers’.
Didn’t you watch the House-Barr hearing last week?
Eh, kinda sounds like party night in Kabul. Whole lot of rounds going a whole lot of places. No one really knew what they were doing.
The first and second paragraphs contradict each other.
Fortunate but any of those misses could have hit someone as a stray bullet or ricochet.
I wondered what had happened to her. According to wiki She is an ordained minister in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, founded by the late John-Roger Hinkins and now led by her husband.[10] A typical west coast flake is my guess. :)

Hoping the people who voted democrat make the connection between their current danger and the democrat politicians they elected.
If not, they deserve what happens.
Where are the Social Caseworkers that are supposed to respond to these incidents ?
Perhaps they are waiting for their issued bullet proof vests ?
Or maybe an RPG to respond to a drive -along shooting ?
