It’s self indulgent anarchism and nihilism. Have any of them ever done anything constructive? They are 3 year old toddlers in adult bodies having a nightly destructive temper tantrum. The fact that the “progressive” leaders of Portland have been broadly indifferent or supportive of them tells you a lot about their lack of critical thinking skills.
thus far, the "punishment" for their actions has been:

about a 5% arrest rate
about a 99% no-bail, you're released
about 90% "we decline to prosecute"
about 100% violation of pretrial conditions by returning to the riots

What do folks think immature people should be expected to do? Give you more of what you don't punish them for.

These are the worse type of trash people. Anyone who sides with theses garbage "protesters" is a a piece of trash too.

It's unbelievable to me that these types of people are spreading in numbers.
She was "mostly peaceful" after she hit the ground.

Thankfully people in Portland have had enough. A grassroots movement called “The Coalition to Save Portland” has been formed. It was started by a Portland resident, Gabriel Johnson.

LOL @ "MEDIC!!!!"


Don't forget that blm/antifa medics like to first drag the injured people around in the street, while trying to drag them to the curb, and saying things like "don't worry, his neck isn't broken". But, they tend to tire out easily just a few feet from the curb, leaving the wounded still sprawled in the streets.
