Portland legalized rioting, and you’ll never guess what happened next
As the city of Portland has seen frequent violent riots, Oregon state legislators have identified a solution: Let them riot.
WTF?
That solution was put into practice in the city recently as police officers stood by and watched rioters cause more than $500,000 worth of damages to banks, stores, coffee shops, and government buildings. Police officers weren’t caught off guard either.
And what caused this round of riots?
The riot was organized by the mother of an “Antifa anarchist” who had been struck and killed by a car in 2019. She proudly declared on Twitter that it would be a “night of rage and anger” and “not a peaceful event.”
We are not one step closer to making “THE PURGE” a reality!
But no amount of forewarning mattered. That’s because the Oregon Legislature passed a law that restricts the use of pepper spray, tear gas, and incapacitating projectiles.
Just like how the lib-tards wanted.
Again, this is what Portland has asked for. This bill was passed by a Democrat-run Legislature, with meager Republican opposition in the state Senate. It was passed because Democratic officials in both the city and the state care more about protecting rioters than they do about preventing riots.
Protecting criminals! That is what dems are best at, Protecting criminals… like themselves (IMO)!
Supposedly, rioters will be punished in follow-up investigations. Considering Multnomah County’s record of declining to prosecute these cases, this seems more like an empty threat than anything else. And even in the cases that do end up getting prosecuted, those rioters have free rein to light fires and vandalize businesses in the meantime.
And we say during the summer of HATE that there now (to my recollection) not ONE that was convicted of any riot/looting/damaging conviction. Not ONE!
Where are all the environmentalists, complaining about all the smoke and pollution these events cause? ! ?
