Antifa protesters have burned American flags and clashed with cops outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Portland.
The ugly scenes occurred Thursday evening, as dozens of the far-left protesters assembled in the area for a demonstration against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The Courthouse has already been boarded up with plywood after sustaining damage during destructive protests last summer, but shocking video shared to Twitter shows all remaining uncovered windows were smashed during the latest demonstration. ..
...Several other demonstrators set fire to the plywood outside the building, prompting federal agents to deploy teargas and smoke bombs in a bid to push the protesters back towards a park.
Earlier in the day, Antifa activists attempted to break in to a Chase bank...

these folks in Portland are reaching for straws on why to riot, but that doesn't matter to them. It's the one-year anniversary of the beginning of their rioting that seems to count most.
Is the left going to scream about federal troops in the city shooting ppl now that a democrat is in the White House? Rhetorical question of course. Look up hypocrite in the dictionary and there’s the DNC’s logo.
Rioting at night is OK 👌.
Boarded up courthouse. Did they go out of bidness?
Will someone in authority please call in the Marines to wipe out this nest of vermin?
Insurrection
I’d be happy if the feds would use that geolocating thingy to find all the people at the Portland courthouse riot and arrest them on felony trespass and stuff, just like they did in DC. And if they don’t, it’s unequal treatment under the law. DC threw some papers around, broke some windows and were a general pain in the butt, but they didn’t try to burn down a building with people working inside like Portland idiots keeps trying to do for giggles and brags. A big deal was made about how the congresscritters felt traumatized but nobody ever asks how those Portland shift-workers feel about the same trauma over and over.
Sorry they are unavailable they are in "stand down" mode. They're training themselves on the best ways how to spot radical Trumplican right wingers in their ranks.
Remember that it is not terrorism if it is not done during business hours! We have been assured of that by our finest legal minds (of the LEFT!)
Where’s the FBI?
All the ones they caught last summer got their charges dropped. Because, Biden.
Burn every building in Portland. See if I care.
I’m completely unaffected by this news, especially the burning of the American flag. That flag now represents an abomination.
I see this is in the UK press. Any US media reporting it yet?
The marines are now made up of cross dressers and woke pansies. I guess they can swing a mean purse, though.
The National Guard should be there and not in DC.
It’s “Time to Heal”...
They are in a stand down rooting out White Nationalists.

Out of curiosity I did a quick look. I could find no major media coverage of the riot. And that’s not surprising. For quite some time now, if you want unfiltered US news you’ve got to go to a UK website.
The Founders would have been amazed by that. And not in a good way.
