Source: Portland Police Bureau After Kyle Rittenhouse’s full exoneration by a Wisconsin jury on Friday, attention turned to what the reaction from the Antifa crowd would be. In Portland, Oregon — more than 1,000 miles away from the courthouse in Kenosha — a protest quickly turned violent as more than 100 people gathered outside the county justice center in downtown Portland and began their onslaught. A large group of protesters circles around the JC, a cop’s tail light is smashed, a smoking trash can, a broken window or two. Mostly people milling around chanting “all cops are bastards” or some variation. pic.twitter.com/nBXRHt4Z5x — Grace Morgan (@gravemorgan) November 20, 2021 As the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) explains, “at about 7:00p.m., Portland Police learned that a group had gathered at Southwest Main Street near Southwest 2nd Avenue blocking traffic” when a “passing driver called and said someone in the group broke his vehicle’s window.” A crowd has gathered near SE 2nd Avenue and SE Madison Street and participants have begun breaking windows and damaging doors of city facilities in the area. People are throwing objects at police officers in the area. — PPB Event Messages (@PPBAlerts) November 20, 2021 According to PBB, a riot was declared by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office after about 9:00 p.m. when a crowd of “violent, destructive” agitators “began to breach the gate into the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC).”
The rioters attempted to breach the justice center by putting “large tree branches in the way to stop the gate from closing,” according to the Portland CBS affiliate. Multnomah County Sheriffs Office personnel “faced off” with rioters and the “hostile” agitators threw “urine, alcoholic beverages, water bottles, and batteries” at law enforcement.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
