Riots exploded over the weekend in a variety of cities with radical leftists claiming they were acting in “solidarity” with the anarchists in Portland.

Rioters not only targeted Portland and Seattle, but other cities, attacking police and courthouses.

Remember when the chant was just about defunding the police last month? Give them what they want, give them an inch and they want a mile. Now they’ve moved on to the real goal: abolition of all cops and prisons, as we reported earlier. That’s part of why they’re going after courthouses, the symbols of American rule of law and the justice system, which they seek to upend and tear down. The rule of law is the bedrock of America.

This was Los Angeles where they hit the federal courthouse and the federal detention center:

Elderly man brought to tears to see the violence that is Antifa/BLM.

At first I thought he had been hurt, but he was crying from disbelief at the violence.

At one point he says “it wasn’t supposed to be like this”. pic.twitter.com/dbOJIPNnTQ

Police tried to clear one woman from the street and they are then attacked by multiple people who try to de-arrest each other. LAPD drops them all.

UPDATE: The protestors have torn down the wooden window coverings and are using them as shields.

Others are still breaking windows on the courthouse and attempting to get inside of the building.

Protestors need to leave the area or you are subject to arrest.

In Oakland, California, they went after the police and the Alameda County Courthouse, spray painting it will “kill judges,” other anti-cop slogans and starting a fire inside the building.

Some within the crowd of 100s of demonstrators vandalized the police station. Breaking windows, spray painting, shooting fireworks and pointing lasers at officers and helicopters. We ask for organizers to keep the protest peaceful. #WallofMoms pic.twitter.com/SGU6Y7PULg

They just keep trying to jack up the violence more and more and more than a little troubling that there are so many people involved in such actions.

Federal authorities really need to grab the leaders in all these actions and they need to look at the funding behind this for people to have masks, fireworks and the ability of some to travel from city to city.
