How do we know it’s summer? Portland’s Antifa have returned to bloom, as well as other parts of Oregon.
But that wasn’t the only place where radicals have been out in the streets over the past two days.
Here are the “RiseUp4AbortionRights” people blocking the highway in Los Angeles, some waving red flags usually associated with Communism. These are some RevCom (Revolutionary Communist), shirts. And at least one of the other ‘protesters’ attacks one of the cars with a stick.
Attention to graphic language

But then, later at another location, Los Angeles rioters were lighting things up — literally.
The men surrounded Los Angeles police officers and started throwing objects at them.

After he shot a flamethrower at an LAPD officer and inflicted burns on him, a man was arrested for attempted murder. These videos show it from behind an umbrella. The “violent extremists” also threw fireworks at the police.

Antifa organizations use umbrellas as a way to conceal their actions and weapons. Be prepared for violence if you spot a group that has black umbrellas at the front.
Police tried to make an arrest, allegedly of the man with the ‘flamethrower,’ and they were attacked.

After the attack by fireworks, flamethrowers and projectiles on four officers, total, they sustained injuries to their bodies.
Other ‘protesters’ were arrested, including a woman who tried to steal an officer’s baton.
But it didn’t go so well for protesters when they tried to take over the freeway again on Saturday. The police had their backs and the protesters ran wild when they were charged.
They were successfully stopped by the police
The police stopped protestors from trying to get onto the freeway.

The Chief of Police Michael Moore decried the violence, and said that people who engaged in such actions “are not exercising their 1st Amendment rights in protest of the Supreme Court decision, they are acting as criminals.” He promised that “the Department will vigorously pursue prosecution of these individuals.” I’m not sure I quite believe it, although it’s good that he said it. Unfortunately, prosecutions in Los Angeles are going to end under George Gascon.
