Portland Police Recover Molotov Cocktails, Ammunition During Violent Protests

Only the American people can put a stop to this carnage by voting the Democrats out of office. The Democrat Party is dangerous because the violent Left represent their core constituents. As such, Americans will continue to be terrorized in cities that are controlled by the Democrat Party.

Portland Police Recover Molotov Cocktails, Ammunition During Violent Protests

By The Daily Signal, July 27, 2020

Portland police officers recovered Molotov cocktails and rifle ammunition late Sunday evening near the U.S. courthouse that has been the site of recent protests.

The Portland Police Department recovered the “destructive devices” in a bag in Lownsdale Square Park across the street from the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse while investigating a shots fired call, police said. The discovery occurred as protesters and rioters continued to clash with federal agents protecting the courthouse.

Protesters lobbed fireworks, rocks, cans, and other objects at officers protecting the courthouse who have responded by using nonlethal weapons to control the crowd, The Associated Press reported.

Protests in Portland have occurred for more than 55 consecutive days since the death of George Floyd who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck, video of the incident shows. Violence intensified, though, after President Donald Trump’s administration authorized the mobilization of federal agents, who are largely Department of Homeland Security officers, to help quell protests, according to The New York Times.

A federal judge denied Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblaum’s request for an order to stop federal agents from arresting Portland protesters Friday, NBC affiliate KGW News reported. Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler spoke out against the use of federal agents at a protest Wednesday and was later tear-gassed.

Jerry Nadler and those of his perfidious ilk are the quintessential Communists. A propagandist who sells the Big-Lie to the gormless, naive, and the true believers, a malevolent ruse employed by history’s despots from Stalin, Hitler, and Mao. The mentioned are but a few, the Big-Lie is now utilized by the alleged Democrats in tandem with its terrorist, subversive appendages.Nadler would blame the police, saying they planted the weaponry, after all, law enforcement is the real enemy.

America, PBS’ Mister Rogers’ neighborhood has turned into a nightmare. The destruction of businesses and communities by Nader’s mythical whims, ANTIFA, BLM, and legions of other anarchists do not exist. As he and others of this Leftist scourge tout are a hoax drummed up by Trump and patriotic Americans. Of course, the MSM stands by this man’s fake news, Big-Lie, because they are also one of the same. The Stalin, the despots of this Big-Lie, is the faux-Democratic Party, enough said.

Violence, murder and destruction by the left is now freedom of speech. Of course the escalation of this is Trump’s fault for trying to restore law and order….

Why don’t any of these affected cities take any sort of preventative action instead of standing around flat-footed and being victimized?

I was in Memphis when April 4, 1969 came around, the first anniversary of the MLK assassination. Knowing there would be trouble, the sale of gasoline and alcoholic beverages was locked down for a 75 mile radius around the city.

We hear absolutely nothing from these cities.

Well that’s what the $OROS paid MarXist+Dmoc-Rats want to then call Trump a tyrant…

HOWEVER – allowing this sham to fall back on them to carry the blame for the seen destruction + violence – esp by local populations in Liberal (D) run city’s.

Voters will want the leadership that encouraged it GONE.

Once GONE from office never let them back…!
