full article. The Washington Post reassures us that the fires are "small" and that the rioters form a "smaller" group.

Sounds like it was mostly violent looking for someone to beat.

"...marking the 83rd night of protests riots in Portland that have led to millions of dollars in damage to city property, officials said."

There: Corrected, you ass-clown, Bezos.

I like how the writer keeps emphasizing the fire was "small."

I guess it was a "mostly cold," fire.

[Starboard]

that’s one link I won’t click on. The Washington Post is pure propaganda,

[Red Badger]

It was a peaceful fire..................

Curfew, martial law, shoot on sight — poof, Antifa & BLM @$$holes are back in the basement, along with Joementia.

Several hundred people participated in the peaceful protest before a smaller group broke off, police said, lighting fires in dumpsters in the street to block traffic and slow down police who later tried to clear the scene.

I don't think those words mean what the author thinks they mean. Every march to battle is peaceful until you reach your enemy/target.

Peter Curtis, 40 and Jesse Hawk, 23 were quickly released without bail, thanks to the efforts of the National Lawyers Guild.

Protesting what?

What is good about the way Trump has handled this all along is that he is keeping it a local problem rather than a national problem by leaving complete control to the Democrat/Left politicians who, rather than looking at this as having a once-beautiful city to save instead are looking at this as an election to try to win.

Enjoy the suck.

Tensions have risen in recent weeks following a period of relative calm after federal law enforcement left Portland last month.

Must have been out that day ‘cause I don’t remember a “period of calm”.

They are not "protesters."

They are enemy combatants.

[bk1000]

They have nothing to still be “protesting” about. The “peaceful” ones are likely spoiled kids wanting attention. The antifa anarchists need serious butt kicking now.

[Jim Noble]

There is no undifferentiated right to “protest”.

There is a right to peaceably assemble. There is a right to petition for redress.

But there is no right to do what is happening in Portland and Seattle. None at all.

A few weeks ago, the Left demanded Pres. Trump remove Federal officers from the area as they claimed the officers were escalating the conflict. Pres. Trump complied. The Left now fully owns this mess.

Did the Spanish Flu involve rioters and bullies attacking working people, police, etc?

[DouglasKC]

Small fires only cause the sprinkler system put them out.

Wait guys the county office is where the welfare checks are printed. You are cutting off your income source.

The old saying is a conservative was once a liberal who was mugged. Libs are pretty obtuse, but I think the first time a mayor or city councilman gets pulled from a car and beaten silly, attitudes will change — at least a little. All these libs agree with the rioting and looting, until it comes to their neighborhood.
