This is what the whole of the nation can expect if the Democrats seize power. They have supported, funded and promoted these riots, violence and destruction from day one.
Over 50 arrested at the Portland #antifa riot on 5–6 Sept. The riot was organized & promoted by antifa ahead of time to celebrate over 100 days of riotious violence. They used firebombs & explosives in a residential area, causing one to be hospitalized. https://t.co/3tGbdL5GIW pic.twitter.com/bXanY4rbS0

Portland Riot: 50+ Arrested as Fire Bombs, Rocks, and Mortars Thrown at Police
By Simon Kent, Breitbart, September 6, 2020:
Multiple fire bombs, mortars, rocks, and other objects rained down on law enforcement officers during Saturday night’s street riot in Portland, Oregon, according to police.
As Breitbart News reported, the rioting started just after 9 PM and quickly descended into violent chaos. Fifty rioters were arrested in the hours that followed.
At one stage a firebomb thrown by rioters at police set a “protester” on fire.
Video taken at the scene and retweeted by the police showed fire erupting in the middle of a street, as a man caught in the flames attempted to run out of the way. He emerged with his legs ablaze, as rioters attempted to help him.

Officers located the injured person and Portland Fire and Rescue medics offered treatment. The victim was taken to a hospital by private vehicle.
Portland Police later outlined exactly what they were facing in the line of duty:
The crowd was advised over loudspeaker that it was a riot and they were to leave the area to the east immediately. They were warned that failure to adhere to this order may subject them to arrest, citation, or crowd control agents, including, but not limited to, tear gas and/or impact weapons.
Individuals within the crowd began throwing illegal fireworks/mortars at officers. Others were seen throwing rocks. At least one had a “wrist-rocket” type of slingshot launching unknown objects. In order to defend themselves from these assaults, officers used crowd control munitions, including tear gas. Officers made numerous targeted arrests.
Officers moved ahead of the rioters to prevent them access to private property as the law evaders lit fires in the streets, including dumpsters, garbage cans, and wooden pallets. Officers moved in to push the crowd back in order to extinguish the fires, Portland Police explained.
A sergeant was directly struck by a commercial grade firework, which burned through his glove and injured his hand. Several officers and troopers were struck by rocks in the head, arms, shoulders, and feet.
Only their protective gear prevented serious injury. An Oregon State Police vehicle was damaged by rocks, including broken windows and dents. An unexploded mortar was recovered by police.
In all over 50 people were arrested withat least two apprehended while wearing body armor. One had a dagger, another had a knife.Most of those arrested were arrested on suspicion of interfering with a peace officer or disorderly conduct, police said.
Police said one woman who was detained was bleeding from an abrasion on her head, and she was treated by medics at the scene before being transported by an ambulance.

I sure hope that these “scores” of arrested rioters do not go out the back door in Portland’s bail free revolving justice system.

Wanna bet most of the arrests are agitators bussed in by George Soros?

More proof that Portland “leadership” doesn’t want these riots to end. If they did they’d deploy sniper teams to blast anyone taking deadly action against others, Molotov cocktails are deadly.
Many years ago my department was planning a response to a union led protest. Their past history included shooting marbles at law enforcement with wrist rocket slingshots so we planned for SWAT sniper teams in response. That’s how you stop these dangerous goons and it wouldn’t take many to make them decide to quit…

Since the mayor left his home and most likely now living in a gated community, he is protected by cops. And, proected obliqely by Trump who supports the police. I wonder if Mr. Wheeler has learned a thing. I doubt it.

The man who caught fire… could we just go ahead and call him a rioter?

That candy ass rioter reacting frantically with his legs ablaze was the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in years.
The little overpriveleged white snot didn’t pay attention when his mommie warned him about playing with fire.

It’s the timing, 100 days and npow serious uescalation. The real polls show there is not a hope for a Democrat win. The DNC is losing incrementally thousands/millions of voters by the week – civil war is now preferable for the DNC. Problem is they cannot get their people to rise up…Fool me once shame on you…fool me twice shame on me. 3 million + fake ballots in 2016 and Hillary still lost. It is worse now today by several orders of magnitude.
The DNC Leftist are pushing for civil war stating in Portland.

I don’t downplay what these psychopaths are doing – but do you guys know what a – mortar – is? Its a lightweight short range , portable form of artillery where you drop a projectile down a tube thats launched towards a target.Its not something akin to a ” roman candle ” You would’nt ” throw ” a mortar – The only ones knowing how to use a mortar would’ve been ones in the military or ones into military history.

All these LEO’s across the nation are pussy footing with these nimrods. “If you don’t disperse you may be subject to arrest blah blah blah. Charge them. Use some flanking movements hit them from the rear. When you do close. Start breaking bones. I am talking about arms and shin bones, feet, hands. Wail on them till they go down. Wail them some more when down. When over scope the up in a shovel. Do not take them to hospital till they are flagged and tagged. Do not clean them up for arraignment. When released let them limp or crawl out of the court room. No mercy. These little clowns are getting tired of burning and looting. It is now turning into a blood lust. They want to kill LEO’s. Once they start it will not stop and will boil over to the suburbs to burn and murder.
