Ho hum, riot notes


Having trashed downtown Portland and terrorized the chi-chi Pearl and SoWhat Districts, Portland's army of woke rioters took their destructive "protest" show to the northwest commercial district last night. They blocked streets, broke windows, and spray painted their A-in-the-Hole profundities along once-trendy 21st and 23rd Avenues. 

The cops, who knew exactly what would happen in advance, let it go for a while, then arrested two people, a man and a woman, both 29 years old. They were charged with criminal mischief and sent home, no bail needed. There's not even a mug shot of the woman.

One local got a window smashed on their residence for having the nerve to film the crowd.

Lather, rinse, repeat. There is no reason to expect anything different under this City Council. Or under this form of government. So let's leave it there for today.
