    1. @Squizzy Bollocks Actually this mob has used fascism.. When you tear down statues or set fires or attack police loot stores you are violating the civil rights of others.. That is fascism.. Creating a climate of fear for political reasons is the definition of terror.. These are archaists terrorist’s

    2. @Squizzy Bollocks Joe Biden is a white racist segregationist senator from the 1970s, he has literally 5 decades of racist comments and policy decisions following him around.

    3. @Bernita Jenkins Pretty sure his constituents are those tax payers that now have their businesses destroyed .. Pretty sure none of those rioters works or pays taxes.. but you keep telling yourself whatever helps you sleep.. On behalf of Trump 2020 I thank you for getting him re elected

    4. @Bernita Jenkins a coward who using mob against store owner ?! Who is that ohh the leftist mofo 😂😂😂

  1. Mayor Wheeler should stripped of his job and jailed, he has totally failed the people of Portland.

    1. @HB Bryan Just because you have low standards in New York when it comes to defacing your neighborhoods with graffiti doesn’t mean everybody finds it acceptable in their towns.

  2. Are you telling me that this elected official participated in and agreed to this vandalism ???

    1. Jonathan Ramos and they still hate him lol
      CNN didn’t mention he was booed, heckled and his resignation demanded. Just like a spoilt child you can give them 98% of what they want and they’ll still throw a tantrum and hate you for that 2%

    2. @MY-190 “crime was going down dramatically” bruhhh stop

  3. “Adjure te, spiritus nequissime, per Deum omnipotentem.” “I adjure thee, most evil spirit, by Almighty God

    1. No doubt, these people lie to us with the rioting going on in the background that they show. Wtf!!

    2. Orwellian Doublespeak… They’re rioters. Not as violent as some others in other cities, but certainly not peaceful by ANY Means.

    1. Well in that case, beating them up and violating their constitutional rights is justified then 🙄

    2. mmmkay C They were already throwing bottles, yelling at the mayor/police commissioner, shooting fireworks at the federal courthouse and trying to tear down the fence surrounding it.

    1. @Jewels Rasta I mean, police only killed 8 or 13 unarmed black people (depending on your source) last year. That doesn’t sound like slaying people daily but idk you can stay in your factless world.

    2. @Ian Burt the amount of people doesn’t matter. Police are out in life or death situations daily and have to kill people. Only 8-13 Unarmed black people were killed last year…. Yep the police are solo oppressive.

    3. @Ian Burt I’ll try to find them again, I found 2 separate sources with slightly different numbers

    4. @Ian Burt From the WSJ, which I believe is mainly left leaning. 9 unarmed blacks killed, 19 unarmed whites. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-myth-of-systemic-police-racism-11591119883

      89 officers killed in the line of duty in 2019, 48 from felonious acts
      https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-releases-2019-statistics-on-law-enforcement-officers-killed-in-the-line-of-duty
      and there are 150-200 million police interactions yearly. I don’t believe cops are racist and killing people because of that.

    1. @wel1968 Revoke the statehood of Oregon. Let’s see you survive without the rest of the country snowflake…

    2. wel1968 Agh, you must be a white art major from Portland. Such a vast understanding of the real world.

    3. @wel1968 ah, parroting the word gestapo you heard from your overlords I see. Please use some independent thought in the future. There is a reason why most of CNN’s comments are calling out their bullshit. You are a part of the stupid minority.

    4. @Tom Thanks Yeah, he was only born the same year we ended the LAST Communist Rise with Water Canons and Billy Clubs, so he probably knows nothing about it.
      Sadly, this time it’s gone on for so long, we might be PAST the “water” canon stage.

    5. @wel1968 That’s what South Carolina said about Fort Sumter. By “Gestapo” you of course mean Federal Agents and the Federal Government. Didn’t Lincoln, Sherman and Grant teach you uppity Dems about the inherent and absolute power of the FEDERAL government when it comes to sedition, insurrection and treason, boy? Sounds like you and the other woke, uppity Dems need to be taught another lesson, the hard way.

  4. Earlier the mayor said he didnt mind that the feds were there protecting their buildings but of course hes not gonna say that near any crazy people

    1. Sondre Strømme on the ground means, where you there? Such a typical miscommunication error, and then a flurry of stupidity. Just go smoke another joint.

    2. @Zinnia I know what you meant. But I think it’s silly to suggest I would need to be amidst the demonstrations to see parts of what has been done.

      Reading directly from the mayor, Ted Wheeler’s, twitter you can see he definitely does not support the current actions of the police force that have appeared in Portland.

      Do I get a full scope of what it’s like to stand there? No, of course not, what I do get a scope of is that excessive force is being used ordered by the commander in chief. Not only is it hurtful, making the riots escalate further, there are multiple illegalities here. Oregon’s lawsuit mentions multiple laws broken here.

      No, I was not there, but that does not mean I can’t see obvious lies people say here. Like trying to make it seem as the mayor is supporting a clear violation of multiple laws.

    3. Sondre Strømme is looting, burning things, civil disobedience etc not illegal. Perhaps not, but, there is a disturbance of the peace The mayor should not be there. Everyone has an opinion that overrules any opposition. My opinion is we are tipping into End Times and people should be seeking Salvation in Jesus Christ. There is evil everywhere. You can’t even have a conversation without someone shutting you down. I pray Jesus will return soon for his church and I suggest you focus on your Creator too.

    4. Sondre Strømme the protestors have respect for the mayor or the police, and I am not surprised. The family unit is broken and manners and respectful behaviour is now seen as weakness. It’s been coming for a long time.

    1. @rosalind ganymede Nah, the Lefty Elite “covid conspiracy” won’t stop the Trump Train. *NOTHING* stops a train…

  5. Lmaoo CNN u forgot when the mayor got hot with a bottle and use agents to get him to safety….😂🤣😅!!!!

  6. And lying CNN still thinks we believe them when they say “protestors”. OMG like we don’t have twitter to see it in live action.. 😂

    1. And STILL some people believe and support these “peaceful protests”. (Such as CNN and allll these Democrat officials)

  7. Wow. CNN left the comments up. As it’s clear from a majority of them, no one is buying this peaceful protests B.S.

    1. When I see a “protester” get beaten by a federal agent or a police officer, it puts a smile on my face. These “protesters” are terrorist. End of story.

    1. Dude should have kept his butt at home!!!! These friggin politicians have no place out on the streets!!! They were not elected to go out and kiss the arses of the BLM terrorist anarchists!!!

    2. It would’ve been perfect if he was physically attacked by the “peaceful protesters” and his security detail shot them up!

  8. How does CNN have “10 million” subscribers…….more than Fox News and Food Network, but NEVER beats them in cable TV ratings? Losers.

    1. Mr. White I honestly think a whole bunch of them are people like us gorging on the insanity of their biased reporting
