Police made several arrests in connection with criminal activity that occurred but did not disclose details.

Who were probably let go immediately by the local Chicom-supported DA.

They'll be back tomorrow. Better have firemen permanently standing by.

Try this little exercise:

Imagine it’s back in 1946 and the returning troops are marching up Fifth Avenue. The music is playing, the crowds are cheering, little kids are sitting on the curb to watch, and people are dropping paper down on them to show how grateful they are.

We have just won a worldwide conflict to prevent other nations from controlling the entire globe.

Then someone tells you that in 2020 young people born in the 21st century will be trying to blind federal police with something called lasers as the cops try to prevent them from burning a federal building down with people inside of it.

“Many of the rioters are being rounded up and now facing federal criminal charges. They are losing their Moxy in a hurry.”


I don’t sense a shortage of them yet, but it could explain why they decided the local law is easier to beat up on.

Treat them like Baader Meinhof because that is what they are.

The guy starting the fire was identified and has been charged with arson.

The police described the situation as "terribly dangerous

Those cops are pathetic. A joke. About like that Asian chick who was chief of police in san fransicko for awhile. Liberals.

This is great.

Not the cops getting hurt...that’s not great.

But the politicians in Portland are the first time parents who won’t discipline their kids. In the end, they will advocate abuse.

Don’t help them. Let them stew in their own crap.

“Made several arrests.”

No doubt they were turned loose after an hour or two.

I had a teacher that was a whole lot tougher in third grade.
We had to write our own name on the board.

I don’t know about you but maybe that is why I don’t go to riots.

Federal charges, it will be more then writing his name on the board.

I think I remember a figure of up to twenty years.
