Violence, Looting, Arson in Portland as Demonstrators Burn the City in Protest

By Hannah Bleau 21 Jul 2020

Portland experienced another night of violence, looting, and widespread arson as demonstrators took to the streets, attempting to break into the federal courthouse and lighting several fires throughout the city, prompting a response from federal law enforcement.

Protesters gathered downtown late Monday night and targeted the Federal Courthouse and Justice Center, vandalizing the buildings and attempting to break into them. According to a statement from the Portland Police Bureau (PPB), demonstrators “tampered with and climbed on the gate leading under the Justice Center and pounded on plywood on the exterior of the building” and “behaved similarly at the Federal Courthouse.”

Police said protesters, who were equipped with hammers, crowbars, hammers, shields, helmets, gas masks, “and other pry tools,” pounded on the courthouse and broke the plywood covering one side of the building. They successfully broke through the plywood after midnight and broke “at least one window”:

The protest crowds in Portland continue to grow in response to the arrival of the feds.

There are probably about 2,000 people here right now in front of the Justice Center, with moms in yellow lined up in front, stretching across a whole block. pic.twitter.com/oCuO7Lx7pP

The only reason they would choose to attack the federal courthouse is because they know federal agents must respond to stop them. https://t.co/0nsD0Wc3qq

Rioters were successful in tearing off part of the protective barrier of the Portland federal courthouse. They then try to shatter the glass so that they can start a fire inside. They had some success doing that two weeks ago. Video by @NancyRomm. #antifa pic.twitter.com/KpcNi7mp0S

Demonstrators threw rocks and bottles at federal officers, who attempted to disperse the crowd around 12:38 a.m. Protesters continued engaging in acts of lawlessness well into the early hours of Tuesday morning, throwing several objects, including “glass and plastic bottles, wood, pieces of metal, rocks and other debris” at the courthouse and lighting fires nearby:..........To Read More...


My Take - Another marvelous demonstration of Democracy at work called Freedom of Expression.  

Hmmmmm….. I wonder if this kind of expression will still be allowed once these fierce defenders of Democracy take over and form a socialist state?   Of course it will!  Once certain criteria have been met of course!  Oh, I know that’s never been allowed in any socialist state ever formed, but we have to understand the reason for that.  It’s because their populations were confused.

Starvation, deprivation, disease, misery, suffering and early death - dystopia instead of the utopia they were promised - has confused their thinking and views.  They just can’t see how total control of their lives in the hands of a few corrupt and incompetent tyrants isn’t in the best interests of the state and correspondingly the people.    What’s good for the state is good for the people!  Right?

So, until they finally come to that clear understanding, their speech, expressions, actions, what they read, what they hear and who they talk to must be controlled.   That creates societal harmony!  How could any reasonable person find fault with that?

Now, repeat after me: 

The future looks so much better now, long live the Fearless Leader! The future looks so much better now, long live the Fearless Leader! The future looks so much better now, long live the Fearless Leader! The future looks so much better now, long live the Fearless Leader! The future looks so much better now, long live the Fearless Leader! The future looks so much better now, long live the Fearless Leader! The future looks so much better now, long live the Fearless Leader! 

This mantra will be recited five times daily for five minutes.   After waking in the morning, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner and before going to sleep.  Failure to comply will be met with (ESI) extra social instruction under controlled conditions in specially built compounds.  Compounds where instructors can focus on the needs of those invited to be there.  Instructors provided by the state will teach contentment and compliance, and that will in turn will create happiness.    Plus, to insure their physical, as well as their intellectual, psychologal and phisolophical harmony, they will be allowed to work while there also.

Lesson plan:

• Happiness is labor.
• Freedom is slavery.
• Ignorance is strength.
• Fitting in is standing out.
• Embracing assigned work is following your dream.
• Poverty is riches.
• Free will is obedience.
• Abject loyalty is individualism.
• Obedience is freedom.

Hail the Fearless Leader!!!!
