Federal Courthouse Experiences Night of Relative Calm After Being Reinforced By Oregon State Police



Protests have been ongoing in the area of the Hatfield Courthouse for over 60 days, but it often gave way to violent actions from the crowd. Fireworks and glass bottles were favorites for rioters to hurl over the fence when officers came out to push people away after experiencing multiple breaches. That all seemed to change when it was announced Oregon State Police will be deployed to help take over security for the courthouse.

Per the agreement between the Department of Homeland Security and the city of Portland, the park directly across the street, which had served as a base camp for protesters and rioters, was cleared Thursday morning. While crowds came back into the park in the evening, they did not have the supplies and tents that had been at their disposal in the previous weeks.

Leftist Rioters, Like Their Marxist Muses, Are Literal Revolutionaries


Well, it’s unlikely that multiple sectors of society just happen to be imploding at the same time without some causal forces behind them. And you don’t have to be a garden-variety conspiracy theorist to realize that some kind of intelligent design is at work here.

I personally think we’re in the throes of spiritual warfare. But instead of expanding on that, I’ll just address the human agency that might be facilitating this chaos, because human beings are advancing it regardless of whether unseen forces are ultimately behind it.

I know of no one who disputes that George Floyd’s murder was outrageous and inexcusable. I know of no one who disputed it after seeing the horrible video of the event. President Donald Trump himself condemned it within hours.

I also know of no one who objects to peaceful protests about this horrid incident and others like it. All fair-minded people abhor such misconduct toward anyone. But it is not fair to condemn all cops for the actions of a statistically small minority. And it is lunacy to dismantle law and order because of them.

Activists Get In Violent Struggle With Police While Marching Through Oregon Suburb, Confronted By Residents


A group of “racial justice protesters” only made it roughly half-an-hour into their demonstration before their event reportedly turned violent and ended with confrontations with residents and law enforcement officials.

“Racial justice protesters had marched through part of Springfield’s Thurston neighborhood without incident for only about a half an hour Wednesday night before they found themselves met with a wall of police behind barricades blocking their progress,” the Register-Guard of Eugene reported. “Just before 9 p.m., police pushed back. The scene devolved into a shoving match. Officers and protesters went to the ground. Black Unity’s Tyshawn Ford was dragged away and arrested.”

Videos showed the activists marching into the suburbs, where they were quickly met by law enforcement officials who declared the event to be “unlawful.” The activists began to attempt to push through a barrier that police put up to keep them out of the residential neighborhood.

They wouldn't be confrontational if they weren't on camera

No End: 150 Shots Fired, High-Powered Lasers Deployed By Portland Protesters As Feds Begin Withdrawal

“More than 150 rounds were fired and one woman was shot in Portland on Friday night while protesters on Saturday – some of whom appeared to impersonate press – threw glass bottles and shined lasers at city police officers sent to quell the nighttime unrest witnessed for more than two months straight,” Fox News reported.

Some members of the media seemed to tun out of the violence in Portland after DHS’s Wednesday decision to turn over the responsibility of protecting Portland’s federal courthouse to Oregon State Police and the Portland Police Department, insisting that tensions had calmed to the point where a law enforcement presence was no longer required.

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof claimed, Sunday that “peace” had broken out.



Portland's deadliest month in 30 years ends with 150 shots fired

PORTLAND, Ore - Portland's deadliest month in 30 years ended on Friday night with more than 150 rounds fired in the Montavilla neighborhood.

Portland Police say 15 people were killed during the month of July, the highest number of deaths in a single month since the 1980s.

For the second time in a week, the Northeast Portland neighborhood became a crime scene.

Police were first called to NE 87th Ave on Monday night. 19-year-old Mister Ford was shot and killed.

On Friday, police returned to the Montavilla neighborhood for another shooting. They say more than 150 rounds were fired at the scene. Bullets damaged car windows and even made their way into people's apartments. Kemoh Sulimani was sitting at his computer when a bullet came flying through his window.

China brings in troops from other provinces and uses machine guns on protestors and local military not engaging

Maybe we can advertise in Russia for temporary, part-time, crowd dispersal experts. The Russkies don't play.

It seems that with every day that goes by, the antifa and BLM rioters are revealing more about themselves and their real cause. Portland riots have long ceased to be about police-killing victim George Floyd. This is about the election in November and about the fundamental difference in political philosophy between the Marxists and others.

The outburst about “God is not real!” from the one screamer explains quite a bit about the underpinnings of what one of my friends dubbed “Commie-Con.”

Over the weekend, the rioters tossed Bibles into a bonfire. As my PJ Media colleague Tyler O’Neill explains, the anti-Christian bent of the rioters fits in with their current communistic mindset but conflicts with the roots of the legacy civil rights movement in this country.

Burning the Bible fits this destructive narrative, and it also provides yet another powerful contrast with the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Rather than burning Bibles, Martin Luther King Jr. quoted them, in order to galvanize peaceful protesters and shame the segregationists who opposed them. Rather than attempting to burn down federal courthouses, King appealed the consciences of Americans — using the very Bible that Portland rioters burned.
The Bibles that Portland rioters burned also inspired the abolitionist movement of the 1800s, a movement that culminated in the abolition of slavery.

Make no mistake, those pro-cop protesters were in danger from these screaming nutjobs, but there’s a far deeper problem in the hearts of Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters than anger over real or imagined social injustice. When they finally toss these clowns in jail, Americans should be on their knees praying for their souls.

Protesters say they were met with guns at Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best's home

“All we were doing was walking and they met us with guns, I don’t know who the aggressor is at that point, but I don't think it's us,” said Nicole Gitaka, a demonstrator with “Every Day March.”

Gitaka and her fellow protesters said less than 100 people went to the Shonomish County neighborhood and that they did not go there to destroy or cause trouble -- they wanted to ask the chief some questions regarding the Black Lives Matter movement in Seattle and the police departments use of crowd control measures.

The group said they were met by Best’s neighbors who blocked the road and displayed guns. They said they attempted to talk to the neighbors, explain what they were doing there and get them to move out of the road but they reportedly refused. The protesters ended up leaving the neighborhood when they felt unsafe.

“Nobody from us approached that situation with aggression, nobody went there like were going to mess up the neighborhood,” said Gitaka. “Our main objective, the only thing we're going to do was march down to Chief Best’s house, make some noise, ask some questions, and go, that’s what was going to happen.”

Wonder whats in that guys backpack? Not just water, unless it's frozen maybe. Also love the idea that they can scream crap and it's like a magic wand. In thier minds, all roads are paid for by the gubmint. But like my road, its quite possible the citizens who live on that road paid for it. Also, the govt has means for you to address it, this "going to the house, make some noise, and ask questions" bullshit needs to end.

Portland Man Who Injured U.S. Marshal with a Bomb Has Been Arrested


A Portland man who used a bomb to gain unlawful entry to the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse has been arrested. Eighteen-year-old Isaiah Jason Maza Jr. injured a U.S. Marshal after detonating an explosive device and has been charged accordingly with a series of federal crimes.

"According to court documents, in the early morning hours of July 22, 2020, a group of individuals gathered in an exterior entryway of the Hatfield Federal Courthouse. Several members of the group, including Maza, began removing plywood attached to the front of the building to protect its damaged glass façade. After the group successfully removed the plywood sheeting, Maza made multiple attempts to kick in the window, struck it with a metal object, and repeatedly pounded on it with what appeared to be a hammer," DOJ released.

"Shortly thereafter, a number of people successfully removed the entire wooden structure protecting the courthouse entryway and an unknown individual broke one of the windows. After this breach, Maza walked toward the building carrying a cylindrical object. Maza then appeared to light a fuse connected to the object and place it inside the broken window," the statement continued. "A short time later, the object exploded in close proximity to law enforcement officers exiting the building through the broken window. A deputy U.S. Marshal sustained injuries to both his legs as a result of the blast."
