Portland Antifa rioting craziness continued unabated last night.
Hundreds of BLM/Antifa folks marched through quiet residential neighborhoods, screaming at the top of their lungs into bullhorns, trying to harass people and wake them up.

One man even got naked for the police, not sure what kind of “protest” this was, maybe against wearing clothes?
They also attacked the North Precinct, smashing police vehicles using rocks & spikes and throwing feces, paint & eggs. They even attacked a Boys and Girls Club van.

Businesses are fleeing because of all the BLM/Antifa nonsense, night after night, Andrew Hoan, president and CEO of the Portland Business Alliance (PBA).
From NY Post:
“The financial consequences to the downtown corridor are a running calculation that is almost impossible to wrap your mind around,” he said — with one company already saying the riots have cost $20 million in damage and lost business.
“You have blocks and blocks of plywood. You have graffiti. You have an accumulation of damages that are unrepaired, an ongoing perception that coming downtown is not a safe place,” Hoan said.
“We need to start to turn the corner now, so that this sort of irreparable damage does not last,” the business leader said.
Standard Insurance has evacuated out of the area after having their properties substantially damaged and a number of their employees assaulted.
A Subway franchise owner, Stacey Gibson, told KATU that everyone was “concerned” for safety and has had to hire extra people to try to keep staff safe.
“We work very hard to build our businesses and be successful and employ people, and when they come in and destroy it by breaking the window and everything else, we’re the ones who have to pay for that,” Gibson complained.
So what was Mayor Ted Wheeler’s response to the business people, the people who support the city with their taxes? According to KATU, the Mayor who had no trouble running out to meet with the rioters did not respond to their inquiries about the people’s concerns.
But there may be a reckoning coming.
According to the KATU, the Oregon FBI is now looking into who are the people inciting violence in Portland and is urging anyone who has information, photos or videos to submit them to them at fbi.gov/PDviolence
FBI officials said “The continued violence, potential threat to life, and destruction of property across the United States interferes with the rights and safety of First Amendment-protected peaceful demonstrators, as well as all other citizens.”
The national nature of the criminal enterprise as well as all the attacks on federal agents and federal buildings all would implicate involvement of the FBI. That’s really the only way you’re going to stop this because the local Democrats are just not going to do it.
AG Bill Barr’s task force has already charged over 200 people across the country, so the feds have shown they are willing and able to lock these characters up.
