#Portland: If you were one of the people in these videos, or if you know someone in them, please contact me.
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.
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?
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 …
Some are shocked Portland holds people of color to such low standards of behavior. The race grifting last week over parking incident pales in comparison to sustained BLM protests over a man who shot 2 people & charged at police while armed (he was killed).http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2018/10/police_close_downtown_portland.html …
