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 …

So this is supposed to be our future leaders? I can't believe I lost friends and nearly my life for this country to have people treat our fellow citizens like this. I feel for the driver when crowd justice seems seems to be anything but peaceful.

You surround me, outcome not good for anyone. You threaten me with weapons and chase after me once I try to flee. Death may follow for some. See a threat to me or my space I will neutralize it.

I would've put my car in reverse and stomped the gas. Screw these fools. This crap doesn't happen in Florida
