If there’s one place that we’ve come to know for their rioting, it’s Portland, Oregon, with maybe Seattle, Washington as a close second. Antifa Portland continued violence in May by attacking a GOP governor’s campaign rally and injuring 2 people.
So of course, you could count on the rioters that we’ve seen come out over the past few years going into full destruction mode over the SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v. Wade
About 100 black-clad people, dressed in black blocs, met in Grant Park Saturday night. A flyer announcing the event declared: “If Abortions Aren’t Safe Then You aren’t Either,” the saying of the violent group Jane’s Revenge. The group then went on a rampage for “abortion rights,” smashing and vandalizing throughout the city.
“Death to SCOTUS” at least one graffiti message proclaimed, while another said, “Abort the Court.” Other fun messages included “Abolish schools” (because, after all, who needs education?) and their traditional favorite, “ACAB” (All Cops Are Bastards).
They also attacked school vans, ripping out their windows and spraying graffiti. A Tesla was also destroyed by the group.
The group threatened a resident who dared question their actions.
While the Portland Police were present they said that they didn’t have the resources to deal with the group. Nice. Portland is so out of touch with its citizens that they have lost the ability to react, it’s tempting for businesses to pack up and move on.

Portland mayoral aide Sam Adams decried the destruction, “It’s despicable,” he says, “we need more police.”
Ironically, it’s always the very liberal Starbucks that gets it in the teeth in these riots.
The police had not responded to their violence the previous day, when they set fire to the Portland federal courtshouse. Antifa also attacked the Portland Federal Courthouse for over 100 days consecutively in summer 2020.

Portland remains out of control, even after two years since the huge riots in 2020. They still haven’t stopped the radicals, basically because they have no real interest in doing so. If they did, they’d stop them. They just despair and throw their hands up. That’s today’s Democratic Party. It is important to remember this when you vote.
