Meanwhile, one group of anti-capitalist, anti-fascist teens who call themselves the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front has used social media to organize throughout the city.

Demonstrations have taken place around the country hafter the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. Four officers were fired and charged, including Derek Chauvin, who appeared in a video holding his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes. Meanwhile, city businesses have reported $23 million in losses due to looters and rioters – amid a coronavirus pandemic that is already causing massive economic damage. Chaos has broken out in the city’s streets, frequently aimed at federal property as activists and some local leaders have objected to the presence of federal officers. Over the weekend, a 23-year-old demonstrator allegedly struck a federal officer in the head with a hammer outside a courthouse. The demonstrator is accused of beating a hole into the building's door with the hammer before officers came outside. Then he struck the officer in the head and shoulder with the hammer before being taken into custody, according to the Portland Police Bureau. “The best thing they can do is stay inside their building,” Wheeler wrote Tuesday. “Or leave Portland altogether.” https://www.foxnews.com/politics/portland-mayor-ted-wheeler-feds-stay-inside-or-leave
Shocker another lefty mayor doing what lefties do. Tear it all down who and let the innocent residents pay, They can probably just raise taxes on graffiti paint and make up the difference.
This isn't getting a lot of news play but from what I can tell, its compounding because the environment is nurturing to violence and radicals. The leaders and elites are creating a system that includes: Arrested violent protesters are set free quickly. Police are not allowed the tools to control the crowds. Pandering to the criminals. It won't stop is what I'm thinking and is going to turn worse.
