It’s been well over 100 days that the protests in Portland have been raging.
Countless videos show the assaults and destruction of personal property.
Does the mayor seem to care?
Nope!
Unless, of course, he’s the target of the protesters!
After they began marching towards the mayor’s condo, the police quickly declared the protest had become a “riot.”
KGW reports on the breaking news:
On Monday night, Portland police declared a riot outside Mayor Ted Wheeler’s apartment complex in Northwest Portland after protesters broke windows, burglarized a business, shot off fireworks, lit a picnic table on fire and set a fire inside an occupied apartment building. Police said they made 19 arrests.
Video by a local journalist also captured an officer tackling a protester and repeatedly punching them while they were on the ground.
Early Monday evening, protesters gathered in the North Park Blocks in Northwest Portland for another night of demonstrations. A social media post said the group was calling for Mayor Ted Wheeler to resign.
The night’s theme centered around an “unhappy birthday” celebration as Monday is Wheeler’s birthday.
As the crowd grew in the North Park Blocks, balloons were blown up, birthday hats were handed out and protesters sang “Happy Teargas” to the tune of Happy Birthday, a tweet from Portland Independent Documentarians showed.
Around 10 p.m., protesters arrived outside the mayor’s apartment complex. They set off fireworks and chanted “Quit your job.”
That’s the problem with these Dems.
They’re fine with looting and burning as long as it’s not near their million dollar condos!
