Rumor What's going on in Portland?

They should save their spray paint money for soup cans.

 

Its just art. You're just too old to understand the beauty.

 

I am younger than you?

And I didn't say anything about the art. Was just pointing out what I saw. Kinda brazen. It was more shocking to actually see two dudes in the actual median against the concrete barriers. They had maybe two feet two work in. A car could have easily clipped them.

 

Would have been a real shame if they got clipped by a car.

 

They probably would have sued the driver and won.

 

it would have started an anti driving riot if so.

 

I only read the last page of threads.

What the fuck is this crazy page about??

 

What's going on in Portland, which really covers an awful lot of territory. Brace yourself for damn near anything.

Portland police investigate veiled death threat against Mayor Ted Wheeler following calls to crack down on destructive demonstrators

 

Anarchist =/= Antifa. They aren't the same thing.

The guy he's posting about literally has " former Anarchist" in his signature and nothing about antifa... Jesus people.

 

How about we just get police to do their jobs and get down there with body cams and get actual proof of people breaking the law and arrest those people.

Anybody who has a hand in deliberately damaging private property should go to jail.

 

Prominent local business speaks truth!

While Kassab’s two stores in Portland’s suburbs are open, the downtown store has been closed and boarded up since last May’s riot. Kassab said she was in the process of getting bids to replace several display cases that were smashed by looters in anticipation of potentially reopening a portion of her downtown store in the next several weeks.
But the recent incidents of property damage to businesses in downtown has prompted her to put those plans on hold.

Kassab said she no longer feels safe downtown. She faulted Wheeler for creating an environment in Portland over the last year where vandals and criminals feel as if they can cause destruction and damage without being held responsible.“Wheeler is just all talk, no action,” Kassab said. “He’s the reason we’re at this point. When you cultivate or tolerate an environment of lawlessness that’s what you’re going to get -- arson, looting, destroying property. I hope he gets out of the way and resigns.”


Sturgeon said that there have been failures at multiple levels of government that have led to the continued destruction.
She said the city and the Police Bureau don’t have the resources necessary to address the ongoing property destruction on their own and need more support from the state. She also faulted Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt for not doing more over the last year to ensure that offenders were held accountable.

Its the same 100 people doing this shit over and over. Arrest them and hit them where it hurts. Its our City...

 

Reap what you sow. Let them burn it down

 

But police refuse to wear cameras (which have already been approved and funded) that would help them gather actual evidence to put these few people in jail.

Hey police ... DO YOUR JOB.

 

Again, these are Anarchists, which he states in his video. Yet this loser is still trying to politicize it by calling them antifa.

This is political propaganda. Garbage.

 

good point but many of theses dudes have been taken in and let loose only to vandalize again. They are not paying a price for criminal activity.

 

From what I've been able to gather from various on-line sources, antifa is a pretty loose-knit group of people who oppose fascism, racism, xenophobia, and so on. They don't mind using intimidation and occasional violence in order to try to advance their agenda. It's left-wing and has folks involved who are socialist, communist or anarchist, but it's not a unified political group.

 

Are you an anti-social freak as well? Take a look at the mugshots and see if you fit in.

These people aren't normies.

The whole "noble causes" thing is just a cover so they can continue their anti-social behavior. Destroy property, yell "FUCK YOU!!!!" to people, and flip them off.

 

There is no evidence that they committed a crime. It is the job of the police to gather that evidence, not flood the system with bystanders.

The police are failing the city now, like they have been failing the poor and minorities forever.

What is going on down there is just more evidence of how much we need to improve the police force. It's a disgrace.
