To recap: On Saturday night, Portland Antifa/BLM decided to “test” the deal between Oregon Governor Kate Brown and the Department of Homeland Security, to see if she would really “bring the heat” to downtown Portland in place of the federal law enforcement agents who had been battling with rioters int the streets for weeks. Portland PD joined the fray with a new sense of “purpose” — delivered in all the predictable ways that one might expect. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler seemed to “Un-Woke” himself after 60 days of idiot leadership failure.
After two nights of getting their tails kicked, Antifa/BLM seemed to take last night off to reorganize and lick their wounds.
The bright idea that someone came up with for tonight seems to have been “Let’s leave downtown Portland and take our show on the road to the suburbs.
How’d that work out for the Stalin Youth Brigade? Like this:

“Press” (who can tell these days) got pepper sprayed by police in Portland for refusing to get on the side of the road. pic.twitter.com/Mox4GU78wm

Very chaotic, but there is an arrest partway through this clip. pic.twitter.com/MBcGBoR8M9

At least one arrest has been made. Unclear as of now what the charges are. Portland Police have withdrawn, and protesters have made their way back to the Penumbra Kelly Building. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/26CSdegPKy

One night last week, they hit the road for Springfield and got run out of town. They returned to Portland and found the State Police and Portland PD suddenly “unwoke” and willing to “crack some heads”.
Now they can’t find any peace and quiet to riot in the suburbs.
Maybe they’ll quit this pathetic display of meaningless nonsense.
