Rioters Smash Windows, Force Businesses To Board Up In Downtown Portland | The Daily Wire
Although coverage of ongoing unrest in Portland has largely dropped off, the far-left protests have not abated. On the day President Joe Biden was inaugurated, suspected “anti-fascists” vandalized the city’s Democratic party headquarters, and just last month, Federal agents were called in to defend an ICE facility there. They tangled with rioters and, eventually, were forced to deploy non-lethal means of crowd control, including tear gas.
I’m sure it’s all President Donald Trump’s (R-USA) fault.
“We have removed everything that could possibly cause damage tonight,” one business owner told local media. “When these people come through, and we’ve lost an entire day of business which means that’s impacting my team member’s wages. This has been going on for nine months. Where are our resources? When do we get enough resources to finally go after and fix this?”

On Saturday night, a mob of antifa rioters ravaged the Pearl District of Portland, smashing windows and spray-painting anti-police messages on businesses, including a Safeway, a Starbucks, and a Chipotle, among others. Police resources to deal with the riot had been strained by multiple shootings in the city that same evening.
Beirut sounds like a safer place to live.
Overnight, #antifa destroyed numerous businesses in Portland's Pearl District as part of a pre-planned riot. People were inside this Chipotle at 1201 NW Lovejoy when antifa attacked the building. Watch this video with sound on. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/2LfMAaSrjy

Oddly, no screams from the Democrats this morning about how awful this is.

Here's the #Apple store that was looted and partially destroyed in the name of social justice. https://t.co/ABxIgnzHAN pic.twitter.com/a1F9aiWpyR
Michael Steeber of 9t05Mac doesn’t appear to get it:
This is an extremely grim look IMO, and arguably worse optics than staying closed altogether for a little while longer. It implies that the community is a threat. https://t.co/kt4nmRVieB

“It implies that the community is a threat.”
Sorry, Michael. The community is a threat. Not just to Apple, but all businesses and people in the area. And none of that is going away until everyone faces up to it and is willing to do something about it. Apple donated to the organizations that destroyed their store. What kind of idiocy is this?
The core area of downtown – city hall, government buildings, including the state and the notoriously attacked federal courthouses – are still boarded up. The second-story windows at city hall are covered with Black Lives Matter signs.
Across the street, statues have been wrecked and removed, and nearby high rises are closed. A 7-Eleven is boarded up and outfitted with Black Lives Matter signs, as well.
I know I’ve said this before, but Portland used to be such a delightful city. A true treasure of the western U.S.
Seeing all this makes me sad.
Seeing the Democrats turn a blind eye to it, or even support the people that have made this happen makes me mad.
Liberals are destroying America. And they’re not even bothering to hide it or to do it slowly anymore.
