Leave it to a bunch of idiots in Portland and Seattle to act out on a day of hope, celebration and history

 


KTVZ  reported that yesterday Police a group of about 150 protesters carrying anti-Biden and anti-police signs marched in Portland streets and damaged the headquarters of the Oregon Democratic Party. The group smashed windows and spray-painted anarchist symbols. 

Federal authorities declared an unlawful assembly outside the ICE building in Portland. This is the site of numerous violent clashes between protestors and federal authorities over the past year.

Oregon police said it was one of four groups gathering in the city on Inauguration Day. 

Reuters reported on a banner being carried by protestors. "We don't want Biden. We want revenge for police murders, imperialist wars, and fascist massacres."

KGW reported six people were arrested in Oregon.
