weekend.
Credible threat of a truck with explosives. My building is next to city hall and 3 blocks from the federal building. Fortunately we've been operating with a skeleton crew in the office since March. Most of the other offices have as well presumably.
The fun loving peaceful protestors have done a real number on our fair city. So sad.
I'm hopeful that the return of the Cascadia Cup on Sunday will keep the Antifa wing of our supporters occupied for a few hours, both in Portland and Seattle! But rioters gonna riot!!! Don't let them tell you things were settling down before Trump sent in the Feds. The dear friends is unmitigated bullshit.

She made damn sure of that. Let the rest of the city go to hell but she is good to go.
The good citizens of Antifa tried to establish a CHAZ like situation in the tony part of town - Northwest Portland and The Pearl District. It's where Oregon's glitterati call home. When they tried to pull this stunt right outside the good mayor's condo he shut that down right quick. Within in an hour or so cops cleared the rabble out. The rest of downtown burns.
But Wheeler has gone underground since. After his little stunt of going into the riot to "talk and listen" to the peaceful protesters and proceeded to get abused and ultimately gassed he's disappeared. Another example of a privileged white man down with the cause and the cause definitely not down with his skinny ass. Jo Ann Hardesty too has gone missing. She's the chief agitator on the city board. She openly mocks the cops. She's a lovely woman.
(Edit - Jo Ann did tweet to condemn the counter protesters who came out yesterday afternoon against Antifa - a Back the Blue event. She's a real principled leader.)

Now the “peaceful protesters” are throwing balloons filled with bodily fluids at the cops. These idiots are disgusting and hate America and yet have the sympathy of a certain political party. They are being enabled and it just makes them stronger. Sad to see.
Followed shortly thereafter with lit fireworks. Most likely gasoline and/or other accelerants in an attempt to maim and kill. But hey...Columbus!!! Amarite???

But we were lectured how the Feds made it worse and local government should “be able to handle it”. I guess not. Things won’t change until a heavier hand is used.
