Despite Portlanders believing that Sniffy Joe is about to be declared the next President, the rioters have taken to the streets because reasons, this time venting their frustration over vichy “mayor” Ted Wheeler’s successful reelection bid.
After two separate marches converged downtown, the National Guard was activated due to “widespread violence” breaking out.
The terrorists busted out windows of churches, restaurants, and locally owned stores:
Protesters just tried to break windows of Starbucks then began vandalizing ATM. We’re here to document this event but it’s clear they don’t want to be filmed. @fox12oregon pic.twitter.com/IuxaaRsimB

Really? A feminist-owned, queer affirming small business? These protesters are NOT part of the movement.

Note that these businesses that were hit are a good 10-15 blocks away from the main protest area around the Justice Center, where the businesses had boarded up all their windows. The terrorists are intentionally going further away to target the ones who didn’t think they had anything to worry about.
