Recap of rioting cities

'Crazed' Antifa Mob Target Portland Businesses As 'Defunded' Police Stretched Thin
BY TYLER DURDEN

So much for President Biden's call for "unity" as a mob of Antifa rioters (who as a reminder do not exist in reality as Biden previously noted that is "just an idea") ran wild through the Pearl District of Portland on Saturday night, vandalizing buildings and spray painting anti-police messages.

Around 2100 PT Saturday night, Portland Police Bureau dispatched officers to the pearl District of town, home to shops, restaurants, bars, and residential living.

A statement released by police titled "Windows Broken During Pearl District Protest, Arrests Made" said the march lasted for two hours. Officers had to intervene when Antifa rioters began "destructive acts" on private property.

Portland Police announced this message over the loudspeaker to rioters:

"To those marching in the Pearl District: Officers have observed and community members have reported members of this group have damaged buildings in the Pearl District. Immediately stop participating in criminal behavior including damaging property. Failure to adhere to this order may subject perpetrators to detention, citation, arrest, or use of crowd control agents, including, but not limited to, tear gas and/or impact weapons. Immediately stop participating in criminal activity."

Police were in short supply last night due to "multiple shooting incidents across the city." A dwindling police force is no thanks to the social justice warriors in the Portland City Council, who defunded the police budget by $15 million, eliminating 84 positions.

Further, police have been restricted on the type of non-lethal weapons they can use. Tear gas is currently banned in the metro area. So while multiple shootings constrained officers - videos and images of the rioters, uploaded to Twitter last night, show numerous buildings vandalized, including a Chipotle, Starbucks, and Safeway.

Rioters can be heard smashing windows. Some tagged buildings with the acronym "ACAB," which means: "all cops are bastards."

After two hours of chaos, police only made two arrests before the crowd dispersed before midnight.

Darell Kimberlin, 31, was issued a criminal citation for criminal mischief in the first degree. A juvenile was also arrested for interfering with an officer. The 17-year old (unnamed) was released to his/her parents.

Last month, an Antifa mob attacked an ICE building in South Portland. Even the mayor of the city has turned on the radical left group, calling them "lawless anarchists."

Portland is also struggling with socio-economic turmoil. While tens of thousands remain unemployed due to the virus downturn, violent crime is surging in the left-leaning city.

Since last summer, rioters have inflicted millions of dollars in damage across the metro area - with no end in sight nor "unity" - this kind of chaos will only increase under a Biden administration.

ANTIFA Sets Fire to Portland Public School Headquarters and Torches Vehicles in A Series Of Malicious Terrorist Attacks
Steven Ahle

The domestic terrorist group known as antifa is at it again.

Last night was antifa’s Night of National Autonomy in Portland, and to celebrate, the domestic terrorists attacked the HQ of the Portland School System burning vehicles belonging to different school districts. The building was heavily damaged, but we do not know the full extent of it yet.

This is just more of the nonviolent protests they spoke about last week on PMSDNC. (aka: MSNBC)

Black Lives Matter Militants Harass Young Girls for Their ‘White Privilege’ as They Walk into Cheerleading Competition
Steven Ahle

BLM harassed very young girls on their way to a cheerleading competition. But in fairness, they had to. They couldn’t find any 90-year-old double amputee women in wheelchairs and they didn’t have a target outnumbered 20 to 1. It’s much easier to be brave when you pick on them.

A group of the cheerleaders were making their way to the building where the competition was to be held when a woman with a megaphone started taunting them with:

“The reason why you get to be here in these pretty little gorgeous outfits and your gorgeous hair and your gorgeous bows is because of your white privilege. Breonna [Taylor] is dead. Black mothers are burying their babies while white mothers send their daughters to cheer competitions.”

What Carmen M. Jones didn’t say was that none of the cheerleaders’ boyfriends started a gun battle with police officers. Even her boyfriend admitted that he shot first.

Another popular lie was that Taylor was shot while she slept in bed but she was actually wide awake and in the hallway. When you are being shot at, it is expected that you would fire back.

Olympics Will Not Tolerate Athletes Protesting, Wearing ‘Black Lives Matter’ Apparel
MAY 4, 2021 By Gabe Kaminsky


Athletes who wear Black Lives Matter apparel at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will face repercussions.

Last month, The International Olympic Committee said athletes are not permitted to protest due to the committee’s stance against “demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda.” Adding to this rule, the committee announced that BLM apparel will be banned. There will be no international fans at the summer games in Tokyo.

“The IOC is very concerned about the risk of politicisation of the athletes and the risk that athletes may be put under external pressure,” the group said in April. “It is important to protect athletes from the potential consequences of being placed in a position where they may be forced to take a public position on a particular domestic or international issue, regardless of their beliefs.”

While the committee has banned the verbatim phrase “Black Lives Matter” from being advertised or celebrated by athletes, other words like “peace,” “respect,” “solidarity,” “inclusion” and “equality” are permitted. The Olympics group did not say what punishments those who violate the rules will face.

In clarifying its position against athletes protesting during events, the IOC relied on Rule 50, the Olympic Charter’s prohibiting of propaganda. “Divisive disruption” will be characterized in Tokyo as kneeing, making hand gestures that imply a political position, or not allowing a medalist to step up to the podium.

Some groups claim they will provide legal support for athletes that violate the IOC’s rules. An activist group in Germany has announced it will assist those who are “fighting racism.”

“Should German athletes decide to peacefully stand up for fundamental values such as fighting racism during the Olympic Games, they can rely on the legal support of Athleten Deutschland,” Johannes Herber, an executive for the union told the Associated Press.

Brendan Schwab, executive director of the World Players Association union, also told the AP his organization will assist if players choose to violate the IOC’s rules. “This is precisely the outcome we expected,” Schwab said. “The Olympic movement doesn’t understand its own history better than the athletes.

American athletes have grown increasingly political. When the National Basketball Association’s shortened season began in July 2020, many players wore BLM shirts and kneeled during the national anthem.

Patrisse Cullors: Black Lives Matter co-founder resigns
Published13 hours ago | BBC

Black Lives Matter's co-founder says she is resigning from its foundation, but not because of what she called right-wing attempts to discredit her.

Patrisse Cullors said Friday would be her last day at the foundation, which she has led for nearly six years.

The 37-year-old activist's finances came under scrutiny last month after it was reported she owned four homes.

Black Lives Matter started as a hashtag in 2013 and has since become a global movement.

Ms Cullors said she would step down from the Black Lives Matter Global Network to focus on her forthcoming second book, An Abolitionist's Handbook, and a TV development deal with Warner Bros highlighting black stories.

In a statement, she said: "With smart, experienced and committed people supporting the organization during this transition, I know that BLMGNF is in good hands.

"The foundation's agenda remains the same - eradicate white supremacy and build life-affirming institutions."

Ms Cullors told the AP news agency her resignation had been planned for more than a year and was not related to claims that she had misused donations to acquire her property portfolio. There is no evidence to suggest that she had done so.

"Those were right-wing attacks that tried to discredit my character, and I don't operate off of what the right thinks about me," she said.

The BLM Foundation told AP in February that it had raised $90m (£63m) amid last year's racial justice protests following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The foundation said it ended 2020 with a balance of more than $60m, after operating expenses, grants to black-led organisations and other expenses.

Last month the New York Post reported that Ms Cullors - a self-described Marxist - had bought a $1.4m luxury home in Topanga Canyon, near Malibu, and owned three other homes, including a custom ranch in Georgia.

Facebook banned users from sharing the story, citing privacy concerns, and a black journalist said he was locked out of his Twitter account after he posted the article.

Conservative critics - but also some black activists - called for an investigation into whether Ms Cullors had used the organisation's funds to enrich herself.

In April the foundation said that Ms Cullors had received $120,000 between 2013 and 2019 for her work.

The Black Lives Matter Foundation said in a statement: "As a registered 501c3 non-profit organization, [the foundation] cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer.

"Any insinuation or assertion to the contrary is categorically false."

Ms Cullors appeared to hold back tears as she told the Black News Channel last month that suggestions of financial impropriety against her were "categorically untrue and incredibly dangerous".

The grieving parents of Michael Brown and Breonna Taylor - two African Americans whose deaths at the hands of white police officers were often cited by Black Lives Matter - last month reportedly complained the organisation had done nothing to help them.
