And here is video of an elderly man who didn’t heed their street orders — so they chased him down. #Portland https://twitter.com/FarleyFilms/status/1048926866285809664/video/1 …

This is the type of street anarchy that routinely happens where I live. Here is video from 6 Oct showing Antifa directing traffic in downtown & threatening people who don’t obey with violence. Mayor @tedwheeler, who really runs this town? https://twitter.com/FarleyFilms/status/1049293858402517000/video/1 …

Saturday’s street take over was just one in a string of events where the city’s leaders abdicated responsibility to uphold the rule of law. Here’s an example I investigated from the summer that lasted for weeks:https://www.wsj.com/articles/anarchy-breaks-out-in-portland-with-the-mayors-blessing-1533331454 …

I went to sleep and woke up seeing the video retweets have gone effectively “viral.” I did not shoot these videos myself. A lot of independent journalists/vloggers now focus on Portland because protests are numerous and sometimes extreme. Credit to

I have reached out to
@PPBPIO for comment and clarification over their involvement on Saturday. Will update if they respond.Показать эту ветку -
#Portland: If you were one of the people in these videos, or if you know someone in them, please contact me.Показать эту ветку -
Updates via KOIN news: The elderly man called police & filed a report after the incident. The person who made contact with the front of the car has not. And police basically said they didn’t get involved to protect first amendment rights.https://www.koin.com/news/civic-affairs/protesters-damage-driver-s-car-no-charges-yet/1508386175 …

I reached out to office of Mayor
@tedwheeler for comment.Показать эту ветку -
Portland Police responded to me. I’m going to work on a write-up about this whole debacle.

How is a group of radical ideologues able to commandeer downtown Portland, stop traffic, & threaten citizens with impunity? Because the police have been cowed. I speak w/the 74-year-old victim at the center of Portland’s anarchy in my latest for the WSJ:https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-leftist-mob-polices-portland-1539298766 …

“When determining whether or not to take law enforcement action at protest events, the most critical factor the Bureau takes into consideration is whether or not a police response would escalate or deescalate tension.”https://twitter.com/portlandpolice/status/1050463750057267200?s=21 …

Radicals will always escalate the situation. That can not be an excuse to let anarchists create havoc.
@PortlandPolice’s responsibility is to enforce the law. The citizens pay you to do this. Who is holding you back?Показать эту ветку -
Portland police defend their decision to not enforce the law last weekend. Police Chief Outlaw (that’s her name): “There is no cookie-cutter response to these events."http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2018/10/portland_police_defend_hands-o.html …

Fox News report: “Antifa & BLM protesters in Portland bully an elderly motorist, verbally attack a senior citizen in a wheelchair & disrupt traffic...in a series of stunning videos -- that also show no police presence as the chaos unfolds.”https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-antifa-protesters-caught-on-video-bullying-elderly-motorist-woman-in-wheelchair …

This is despicable. Editor of Portland Mercury insinuates that I sympathize w/Charlottesville attack. Also accuses 74-year-old driver of crime of hit & run. No. He drove to a business immediately & used their phone to call police. https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2018/10/12/23624351/panic-portland-overrun-by-mob-rule-according-to-wsj-opinion-writer …pic.twitter.com/wIR3NSS8rp

Ted Wheeler’s office never responded to my request for comment but he finally held a conference after 6 days of silence. “People should not immediately jump to the kinds of statements that were being put out on Breitbart and Fox News...”https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2018/10/portland_mayor_appalling_how_p.html …

WTF is going on here? Is there an event happening or is this just straight up mob rule for the sake of it?
-
BLM-type protest over the weekend.
-
What was the 'Protest' about?
-
It was over an officer involved shooting, in which the cops shot a gang member with a gun who’d just shot two others and was threatening officers’ lives.

Oh so it's just bullshit like half the things Chicago B1M flip about. Gotcha
