“I don’t think the majority of social-justice warriors are truly concerned with justice,” said Nick Zukin, who just closed the doors of his Portland restaurant, Mi Mero Mole. “I think they enjoy causing people pain and ‘social justice’ gives them an excuse.”Issues & Insights
"Portland, Oregon, was once known as the quintessentially nice Northwestern city. Its nickname, “The Rose City,” was given to it by a Baptist group that held a convention there over a century ago. Sadly, today, riot-riven Portland smells like anything but roses.
"The city has been the locus of nonstop violent protests for 51 days and counting. And really, calling them protests is incorrect: They are acts of outright rebellion, with many participants openly calling for the dismantling of the United States.
"The Daily Caller described the mayhem and posted videos of it, which included the attempted torching of the Police Association building:

"The Daily Caller described the mayhem and posted videos of it, which included the attempted torching of the Police Association building:
Portland has seen over 50 days of protests and rioting, and Saturday proved to be no different. Daily Caller reporters were at the scene where rioters squared off with officers after tearing down fencing and using it to barricade the federal courthouse. …Outside of the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse, hundreds gathered and immediately began removing fencing surrounding the park and courthouse that had been erected by officers. Some rioters barricaded the building and began to taunt officers by banging on the walls and yelling for them to come outside.
"While all this was going on, more “largely peaceful” protesters broke into the police union’s building and tried to burn it down. That’s called arson, and it’s a felony.
"Who’s behind all this? Antifa and Black Lives Matter, of course. But they aren’t the only ones. There are lots of other leftists of various affiliations agitating the crowds.
"One in particular who’s come to our attention is a so-called organizer of the violent protests. She describes herself in a viral Twitter video: “My name is Lilith Sinclair, I’m an Afro-Indigenous non-binary local organizer here in Portland, organizing for the abolition of not just the militarized police state but also the United States as we know it.”
"Just so you know, “abolition” in this context means “violent overthrow.' ” . . .
Federal Troops to Expand Beyond Portland "Trump says Homeland Security will deploy troops to cities struggling with surges in violent crime."
. . . "Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf referred to Portland as a city “under siege,” saying that “each night, lawless anarchists destroy and desecrate property, including the federal courthouse, and attack the brave law enforcement officers protecting it.”
A sprinkle of irony can be found in the fact that Bonamici is making a case for protecting the First Amendment rights of “peaceful” protesters in the midst of Portland’s millions of dollars in property damage.The brats can now rest easy; your moms are here to protect you
"PORTLAND protesters were protected by their moms who formed a human wall during a face-off with Trump's federal officers.
"At least 30 parents linked arms with one another on Saturday chanting "feds stay clear, moms are here!" and "leave our kids alone.' " . . .
