Antifa
In September 2018, seven people were arrested after Antifa members threw "smoke and projectiles" at the police.[1]
In October 2018, Portland Democrat mayor Ted Wheeler mayor gave transparent excuses to defend his own decision to let Antifa block traffic and harass drivers and to block the police from intervening.[2][3]
2020 Antifa riots
- See also: 2020 Antifa riots
Antifa broke into the Portland, Oregon Justice Center,[4] housing the central police precinct and the sheriff's office, and set a room on fire with occupants still inside the building.[5] A man carrying an American flag was beaten by white Antifa terrorists.[6] Small businesses were vandalized and looted.[7][8] Stolen cars were driven into stores.[9] A Chase Bank branch was attacked[10] and set on fire.[11] Virtually all offenders in these incidents were white. Antifa terrorists attempted to blind police with laser lights. Communist protesters tore down a statue of Thomas Jefferson, author of "all men are created equal."[12] Antifa terrorists toppled the George Washington statue. Washington is commonly referred to as the "father of the nation."[13]
Portland has been the hotbed of subversive Anti-American communist and anti-Trump activity since 2017. More than 100 fires were set in and around downtown.[14] After the Minneapolis George Floyd riot, Portland was under siege by leftwing white supremacists nightly for over a month.[15] More than 100 people were injured and over $20 million in damages. Oregon Democrat governor Kate Brown did absolutely nothing to stop the violence.
2017 Portland train murders
On May 26, 2017, Jeremy Christian, a disturbed homeless man, stabbed three men to death on the city's mass transit train. According to media reports, Christian made anti-Muslim remarks to two teenage girls who appeared to be Muslim. Reports also say that he made other "anti-everything" and "anti-religious" remarks. The three men were stabbed as they attempted to defend the girls.
The left-wing media was quick to label Christian as "racist," "right-wing," "anti-Muslim," and a "white separatist," despite the fact that Christian's Facebook posts painted a very different picture, showing him to be left-wing in his opinions, such as supporting atheism, marijuana use, and opposing controversial oil pipelines, and to hate all "monotheists," including Jews and Christians, and to be anti-racist. He also voted for Bernie Sanders and supported Jill Stein in the 2016 presidential election, was rejected by Trump voters at events, and held many other left-wing positions.[16][17]
