The riots in Portland have been going on now for over 8 weeks and the terrorists in charge of the city are still allowing their figureheads Ted Wheeler and the city council to pretend they run the city, but we know they don’t. As a mayor, Ted Wheeler makes a fine eunuch. And the city council is there merely for comedy relief. Antifa and BLM are the real power behind the throne. They are the ones running the city.
The rioters have been concentrating on tearing the fence down that now surrounds the Hatfield courthouse. The city of Portland has gone to court to order the DHS to take the fence down themselves, which tells you which side Wheeler and the council are on. It is my fondest wish that they be tried as indicted co-conspirators.

Officers are using non lethal weapons against the protesters including tear gas, rubber bullets, flash bangs. Many of the rioters are wearing gas masks, which of course is illegal but it’s not like Portland cares about them rioters breaking laws, otherwise the riots would have ended long ago.
Just had two flash bangs explode literally on top of me. It’s a battle…I’ve never seen so many protesters refuse to back down.

Some rioters attempted to use electric saws to break the fence down while others tied ropes and tried to pull it down. As the night wore on, others launched various objects over the fence at officers. Water bottles, glass bottles and fireworks were among the items tossed at federal officers.
Members of the crowd also chased down tear gas canisters thrown by officers, grabbing them and launching them back over the fence. Both federal officers and protesters brought leaf blowers, which have been used often in Portland demonstrations to push tear gas away.
