Gov. Brown says Portland rioters have ‘no discernible goal other than to cause violence and vandalism’

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/go...99/ar-BB1aJJ5d

No **** Sherlock. That's what everyone with an IQ over 70 has known for 6 months. This crap isn't about "racial justice" or any such BS. It's just a bunch of mindless savages looking for some pathetic excuse to loot, to burn and to riot. Brown, the Portland Mayor and DA, and the Democratic party own this. But it's just "an idea" doing the rioting and burning, according to the idiot likely to be in the Oval Office in 2 months.

Quote:
A riot was declared in downtown Portland on Wednesday night and the national guard was activated to respond to widespread violence and destruction.

Law enforcement seized weapons, including guns, a knife, commercial-grade fireworks, body armor and gas masks. Rioters smashed the windows of multiple buildings.

"They shattered the windows of a church that feeds Oregonians in need, a women-owned and operated business that raises money for immigrant and women’s rights, and many other storefronts,” Brown said.
This from the genius that attacked Trump for using federal officers to help restrain the violence, and who refused to allow OSP to function as federal LE (deputized) and charge them with federal crimes. Must be starting to feel some heat from the poor suckers that put her in office.

Oh but they don't really exist-they are "just an idea".

Exactly. If Biden somehow cheats his way to a win, some nice side effects will be the disappearance of these riots and constant panic mongering about COVID-19.

Would you be referring to me? Because that is not what I say, and im sort of tired of hearing the personal attacks by people unwilling apparently to discuss a topic

At least Kate Brown is finally seeing their true motive and intentions. I mean we all saw the truth back in June-July, but at least she is admitting they have no goal, but destruction and violence. Maybe now the DA will bring down harsher punishment and not let these people out of jail so easily, with no consequences.

Hardly surprising that she kept the lie going until after the election, while everyone else saw what was going on. Now that the mobs of savages don't serve a political purpose, even Brown might be willing to let them be shut down.

There are a lot of economically poor white and disenfranchised people in Oregon. The KKK had a chapter in Dallas in ~1930s. And there were anti Chinese land ownership laws, anti interracial marriages, and Negro free counties. Remember Oregon itself was founded on people who were disadvantaged elsewhere and took the Oregon Trail to the Promised Land. Economic realities changed to make ignoring the laws a reality. Discrimination laws were quietly rescinded only fairly recently, ~30 years ago; I forget.
