Mob Smashes Through Downtown Portland
18th October 2021
A mob last week rampaged through downtown Portland, Ore. Police were unable to control the crowd, however, because of restrictive measures passed this year by the Democratic state legislature.
A crowd of 100 people on Oct. 12 smashed windows and graffitied buildings, causing more than $500,000 in damage, police said. The violence followed a memorial to a Portland anarchist who in 2019 was hit by a car and killed.
Police made no arrests at the protest and did not directly intervene. Officers said their hands were tied by a state bill, passed in June, that in most situations restricts police from using crowd-control devices such as pepper spray and rubber bullets.
Did you hear anything about this in the “news”? I didn’t.
Time to leave.

Was this an “insurrection”?
Because I’m now very confused at what constitutes an insurrection now. I thought I knew, but apparently I’m wrong.
If you rob, loot, injure people, commit arson, and generally destroy part of a city, it’s a “mostly peaceful protest”.
If you wear a MAGA hat, it’s a racial hate crime.
If you pose by Nancy Pelosi’s podium, you’re guilty of treason.
So many conflicting definitions…
