Portland, Oregon's largest city, offers big city amenities, along with spectacular views of Mount Hood, the state's highest peak

Portland is the largest city in Oregon, very liberal and overwhelmingly white. It is the county seat of Multnomah County. The city's population is 583,776, according to the 2010 Federal Census. Portland is located at the confluence of the Willamette River and the Columbia River. The mayor is currently Ted Wheeler. It is notable for being the home of one of the most active Antifa terrorist contingents in the United States. This city was named after Portland, Maine.

Portland had at least 84 in 2021; the previous record of 70 homicides occurred in 1987.

Michael Strickland case

Strickland assaulted by Fitzgerald

Michael Strickland is a journalist and Second Amendment activist who reported on far-leftist politicians and corruption in Portland.[1] In 2015 Strickland was assaulted, robbed and seriously injured by an anti-gun activist named Skye Fitzgerald. Although the attack was caught on video,[2] Multnomah County refused to prosecute Fitzgerald. Strickland was unable to work for months due to his injuries.[3]

On July 7, 2016 Michael Strickland was assaulted in a pre-planned attack by a large Black Lives Matter mob on the streets of Portland. Strickland pulled a lawfully concealed handgun, warned his attackers to stay back, and made every effort to withdraw. Strickland was then arrested by Portland Police dressed in riot gear, charged with menacing, and released. The following day Strickland arrived in court for arraignment. The Multnomah County district attorney charged Strickland with 21 multiple felonies, and Strickland was hauled off to jail with a quarter of a million-dollar bail placed on him.[4]

Antifa

Liberal fascists beat Vietnamese journalist Andy Ngo. The Huffington Post celebrated the racist attack.[5]

In September 2017, seven people were arrested after Antifa members threw "smoke and projectiles" at the police.[6]

In July 2018, Antifa terrorists attacked a Patriot Prayer rally in Portland and falsely accused the pro-Trump group of engaging in "violence and hatred", behavior which Antifa itself engaged in at the event.[7][8] Several of the Antifa attackers were later arrested for disorderly conduct.

Anti-ICE protestors were emboldened by a stand-down order against local police by Democrat mayor Ted Wheeler, violently protested in the city and threatened to kill the daughter of the owners of a mom n' pop food truck that serves ICE agents,[9] while police refused to respond to 911 requests for assistance to protect ICE agents attacked and threatened by the anti-ICE mob.[10] Wheeler subsequently came under heavy criticism and was accused of violating the Constitution for giving the stand-down order and exposing ICE agents and the public to danger from the protestors, and the union representing ICE agents notified Wheeler:

"your current policy forbidding Portland law enforcement agencies from assisting employees of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency ("ICE") who request law enforcement assistance while at or away from work is a violation of the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause. As you are aware, the 14th Amendment forbids the government from denying any person or persons equal protection of the laws...We understand that you have a difference of opinion with the current President of the United States, and some of his policies, but we fail to see why targeting the employees of ICE and leaving them vulnerable to violence, harassment and even death furthers a legitimate government interest. Your policy has created a zone of terror and lawlessness. We ask that you end your policy of not responding to calls for police services from ICE employees immediately."[11]

In August 2018 there was more blood in the streets by Antifa riots.[13]


A particularly vicious Antifa rioter, claiming to be a "professor", tried to act like an animal as she attempted to take a bite out of professional MMA fighter Tara LaRosa during an Antifa attempt to start a riot at a Veterans' Day rally in Portland.[14] The Antifa punk was no match for LaRosa, who pinned her to the ground after she tried to attack another woman, and the punk was kept pinned until she was picked up and arrested by Portland police.

2020 Antifa riots

In September 2020 Portland marked 100 consecutive nights of protests marred by vandalism, chaos, looting, and even killing. Those bent on violence regularly started fires, threw projectiles at law enforcement officers, and destroyed property. Numerous law enforcement officers, among others, suffered injury. Shootings increased by more than 140% in June and July 2020 compared to the same period last year. In the midst of this violence, the Portland City Council cut $15 million from the police bureau, eliminating 84 positions. Crucially, the cuts included the Gun Violence Reduction Team, which investigates shootings, and several positions from the police team that responds to emergency incidents. In August 2020, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler sent a letter to President Trump expressly rejecting the Administration’s offer of federal law enforcement to stop the violent protests.[15] The Democrat Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum sued the Trump administration on behalf of the rioters.[16]

Antifa broke into the Portland, Oregon Justice Center,[17] housing the central police precinct and the sheriff's office, and set a room on fire with occupants still inside the building.[18] A man carrying an American flag was beaten by white Antifa terrorists.[19] Small businesses were vandalized and looted.[20][21] Stolen cars were driven into stores.[22] A Chase Bank branch was attacked[23] and set on fire.[24] 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."[25] Antifa terrorists toppled the George Washington statue. Washington is commonly referred to as the "father of the nation."Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

In June, 2021, the entire Portland Police crowd control unit, consisting of approximately 50 officers, resigned after an officer was indicted on an alleged protest assault charge, stemming from an unruly Antifa rioter being struck to bring the rioter under control.[26][27]

Portland train stabbing

On May 26, 2017, Jeremy Christian, stabbed three men to death on the city's mass transit train. Christian made anti-Muslim remarks to two teenage girls who appeared to be Muslim. 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 supremacist." Christian's Facebook posts paint a different picture. He claimed to be a registered Libertarian who voted for Bernie Sanders and expressed support for Jill Stein in the 2016 presidential election. His posts show him to be left-wing in many opinions, such as supporting atheism, marijuana use, and opposing controversial oil pipelines, and to hate all "monotheists," including Jews and Christians. A month before the stabbing, he was at a Free Speech Rally organized by Patriot Prayer. Video shows him calling Trump supporters "facists" and "fake Christians" and doing a Nazi salute.[28][29]
