Not wanting to be outdone by the riots in Minneapolis and Atlanta, terrorists in Portland had their turn to destroy their city. Rioters stormed the Justice Center, which houses the police headquarters, preliminary court rooms, and the main county jail. Once they broke inside, they started looting and destroying the place. Then they set fire to the building, as smoke billowed from the shattered windows.

Vichy “mayor” Ted Wheeler released this limp statement:
Portland, this is NOT us. When you destroy our city, you are destroying our community. When you act in violence against each other, you are hurting all of us. How does this honor the legacy of George Floyd? Protest, speak truth, but don’t tear your city apart in the process.
