A woke Portland cider taproom is shutting down, citing business decline since 2020. Its owner, Nat West, advocated for business vandalism during the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots.
"A leftist Portland, Ore. business owner who advocated for the city's destruction during the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 and 2021 announced he is closing his taproom after suffering significant financial losses since that time.
"Nat West, the owner of Reverend Nat's Hard Cider on Southeast 35th and Division Street, who identifies as he/him on social media, is permanently shuttering the doors to his taproom. The taproom's beverages are a former staple in the progressive city now struggling with surging crime, homicides and business closures following the 2020–21 riots.
"The shuttering of West's taproom is ironic given his strong advocacy and promotion of property destruction and vandalism in Portland.
" 'Please smash all my windows if it will be a step toward change," West said in an Twitter (now X) post in April 2021, nearly a year after the deadly riots started in Portland. For more than 120 days straight in Portland, far-left extremists carried out acts of insurrection against the local and federal governments through firebombings, explosive attacks, looting, arson, gun violence and rampant property destruction.
"In response to an individual criticizing rioters for smashing up the Oregon Historical Society in October 2020 at an Antifa direct action, West suggested the museum deserved it.
"'Just because you are doing a better job now than you've done in the past doesn't exclude you from a little bit of reckoning. Doesn't demand it either. But windows are windows," West wrote.". . .
Intelligent people across the ocean see us Americans for what our culture has become and have little respect for our actions:
