Is it riot season again in Portland?

Whenever there is violent protest anywhere, Portland's far left has to get in on the act. We will not be out-rioted!

I see there was a dust-up downtown the other day. It reportedly started out as 100 Reedies, and it ended up with destroyed glass doors, spray-paint defacement of the World Trade Center, and six arrests. Hmmmmm.... sounds vaguely familiar. I wonder if Dud Wheeler will call for any expulsions. At least put some kids on double secret probation.

Five people were arrested at the scene:

Sienna Otero, 21, of Portland, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree and Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree

Eli V. McKenzie, 19, of Portland, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree and Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree

Nathan S. Senters, 20, of Portland, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree and Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree

Parrish N. Johnson, 19, of Portland, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree and Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree

Emily S. Vanderlyn, 33, of Portland, Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree

After police cleared the scene another suspect was seen vandalizing the building. He ran away after being confronted by officers and was arrested after a short chase. The suspect was Troy A. Hunter, 24, of Beaverton, Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree, Escape in the Third Degree.

The Reed student paper says that four of the arrestees were students there. I assume that would be the first four. 

As always, there's the question of whether D.A. Mikey will prosecute anybody. Previously it would have been out of the question, but that was before he was actively running for re-election. 

Nah. I doubt that there will be any consequences for the other day. But I sure hope this isn't the start of another drawn-out season of mindless destruction. It's the last thing Portland needs right now.
