    Seems according to the mayor there were legitimate targets.

    Really? Whenever I see the words "Andrew Jackson" I know the post is full of ****. More than anybody else on here, AJ just says things for the sake of saying them.

    It shows you how much the 'agenda' matters to the left. Imagine what it must take for someone to place a political campaign (or hurting a political campaign) above the lives of people in the city you were elected to run? It's really pretty astounding when you put things in perspective.

    The hell of it is that the idiot leftist citizens of Portland have backed themselves into a leftist nightmare in that this guy is actually the best candidate that they have for mayor. They deserve what they got. His opponent embraces the title of the "AntiFa" candidate.

    ‘Antifa’ candidate almost ties Portland Mayor race

    Sarah Iannarone is most notable for tweeting “I am Antifa” and also saying “If they’re going to call me ‘Antifa Mayor,’ then I might as well fight fascism.” Iannarone is a frequent defender of Antifa and their tactics. Sarah successfully beat nearly two dozen of other Portland candidate challengers inthe May Primary and forced a run-off.
    These leaves Portlanders a choice for Mayor among two extreme liberals.

    The liberal left and fringe left have convinced themselves that the police are all bad and the enemy.

    MAYBE HE SHOULD ASK PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR HELP: Portland protesters cause mayhem again, police officer hurt: Protests in Portland, Oregon turned violent again even after the mayor pleaded with demonstrators to stay off the streets.
    We were assured that it was the presence of federal agents that caused the protesters’ rage, yet now it's being just as aggressively directed against State and Local Law Enforcement.

    Violent demonstrations re-emerged on the streets this week, miles away from the courthouse.

    Tear gas was used by Portland police on protesters and Mayor Ted Wheeler now complains that the protesters clashing with police are "not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder.”

    So much for the summer of love. Portland’s mayor giant pivot indicates this must be hurting the Democrats badly.

    If the mindless senseless left wing violence has put Oregon in play, Trump could looking at holding the rapidly dementing Biden to just 13 states.

    It’s like a drug dealer hitting his Pitt bull dog with a newspaper, says “bad dog”, then let’s the dog roam the neighborhood again

    Fox reported, "Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Thursday evening condemned the actions of rioters who attempted to set fire to a police precinct and blocked the exits while officers were inside.

    "'When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder,' Wheeler said in a news conference with Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell.

    "'Don’t think for a moment that if you are participating in this activity, you are not being a prop for the reelection campaign of Donald Trump — because you absolutely are,' he said. 'You are creating the B-roll film that will be used in ads nationally to help Donald Trump during this campaign. If you don’t want to be part of that, then don’t show up.'"

    That is some mayor they elected.

    He is more concerned about President Trump's campaign ads than protecting his police.
