BLM in Portland have reached new heights. They are now threatening private citizens with death. And why not? They have the blessing of Mayor ted Wheeler to do whatever they like. He has in reality turned the city over to BLM and antifa.
Last night, the set fire to the police union building and when a man stuck his head out of the building, he was met with threats with threats. He was told that they would burn down the building he lives in.
One of the rioters shouts, “You’ve really internalized capitalism if you’re more worried about getting a good night’s sleep so you can f***ing work. F*ck you!”
“Black Lives Matter!” the crowd chants again.
One voice shouts, “We’re gonna burn your building down!”
“Black Lives Matter!” the crowd chats again.
One woman taunts, “We know where you live!”
The police issued a warning that if the thugs did not disperse they would face arrest and deterrents such as tear gas. That set off the rioters and they began pelting the police with bottles, paint balloons and using lasers in an attempt to blind them. Two officers were rushed to the hospital.
Overnight on 8–9 Aug, hundreds of antifa descended on the @PortlandPolice union building again in north Portland. They blocked the road, started street fires & tried to burn down the union hall again. Video from inside shows the arson attack #PortlandRiots https://t.co/WAvyCdYjVm pic.twitter.com/mpHi9fQAcr

Police later discovered areas where rioters had built barricades using street closure signs, picnic tables, and other objects. Rioters hid behind these barricades while hurling objects at officers. About three hundred rioters gathered at Kenton Park. Police warned them that they were still riotous and ordered them to disperse. As the cops threatened the use of force, rioters began to disperse by around 2 a.m.
Portland Police did not use any tear gas during the episode.
In what seems the most terrifying part of the incident, the antifa rioters threatened to burn down a man’s house — seemingly for the crime of looking out his window and perhaps asking them to quiet down.
