The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office has announced it is moving forward with prosecuting three suspect rioters connected to the violent Antifa protests in Portland, Ore. on May Day.
On Saturday night, around 50 people in black bloc descended on the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in a pre-announced riot. The facility is among one of many government buildings targeted and set on fire dozens of times over the past 11 months by far-left rioters. Five of the seven arrested over the riots have been previously accused of or convicted for their role in other Black Lives Matter-Antifa riots.
22-year-old Jeremiah Day, of Portland, allegedly brandished a butterfly knife at an officer before re-approaching police after taking cover behind an umbrella, according to court documents. He then allegedly tried fleeing on foot before being caught and arrested. He was originally charged with seven counts of menacing officers with the knife, felony unlawful use of a weapon, resisting arrest, felony riot and interfering with a peace officer. Despite the 11 offenses, Day was quickly released without bail. The district attorney's office dropped six of Day's menacing counts but is proceeding with the other more serious charges.
Around the same time as the riot outside the ICE facility, a group of around a hundred Antifa carrying riot gear marched through downtown. They shut down traffic and vandalized businesses and property. Portland Police declared a riot.

The third suspect charged by the district attorney's office is Quang Thien Nguyen, of Kent, Wash. The 20-year-old is charged with felony first-degree criminal mischief and two counts of first-degree attempted criminal mischief. Felony riot has since been added to the slew of charges. A hammer and sling shot were seized from Nguyen, and he was quickly bailed out. He was also found to be carrying a booklet titled, "How to make a sling." The booklet was given out at an Antifa May Day zine fair earlier in the day at Peninsula Park.
This isn't the first time Nguyen has been accused of violent criminal behavior at an Antifa riot. He was arrested at a riot last November in Seattle for failure to disperse, pedestrian interference and obstruction, but those charges were dropped.
Portland Police also made two arrests of suspects at the riots who had outstanding warrants.
Kristopher Michael Donnelly, 27, of Kelso, Wash., was arrested for felony riot, felony first-degree criminal mischief and resisting arrest. He was quickly bailed out. A repeat accused offender, Donnelly was arrested at least five times at riots in 2020. He was given a conditional pretrial release on his federal felony civil disorder case, which he appears to have violated.
Darren Ray Stephens, 36, of Portland, was arrested for second-degree criminal mischief, unlawful applying of graffiti and unlawful possession of a graffiti implement. He was quickly released without bail. Stephens was arrested last year at another riot in June and charged with felony second-degree burglary, two counts of felony first-degree theft, felony riot and providing police with false information. His next court date for both incidents is scheduled for May 21.

Charles Ernest Stubbs, 42, was recorded brandishing a knife and threatening to slit a counter-protester's throat and mutilate his genitals. He was arrested on Monday and charged with two felony counts of unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and disorderly conduct. He was quickly bailed out.
Stubbs, a Juggalo who is a regular at Antifa riots in Portland, was arrested at the Red House Autonomous Zone (RHAZ) last year for second-degree trespassing and felony possession of body armor. Those charges were dropped.

Michael Isaacs, the bat-wielding counter-protester who was threatened in the street, was also arrested. His case has been referred back to police for additional investigative follow-up, according to the district attorney's office.

And yet, Biden says the invasion of the Capitol in DC on January 6th was "The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War."
Folks, we are living in a Communist dictatorship, where elections are rigged, and the media is just a brainwashing tool of the Nomenklatura and Commissars who rule over us, and tell us what to think and how many times a day we can take a shit. Bite-em is worse than a fraud, he is a psychopathic monster in service to the billionaire class. I hate them all.
Russia and China only have to wait while America collapses from within. "Democracy" is dead, voting is pointless, the billionaire class will create the election results they want, just like any other Communist dictatorship. They will arrest and imprison those they dislike, and give a free pass to commit mayhem and murder, to those they favor.
The scary part is that those billionaires calling the moves behind the scenes are spoiled brats. Everybody bows and scrapes to them to get a few crumbs from them, nobody ever contradicts them or tells them they are wrong, they think they are the smartest people in the world and that's why they are richer than everyone else. But they are not. They think a nuclear war with Russia is survivable, at least by them, who cares about the other 320 million people in America, but they are out of their little chickenshit minds. They will die along with all the rest of us, guaranteed. And along with about 6.5 billion other people on the planet, including you and me. Then humanity, the remainder in Borneo or the Amazon, can start to rebuild civilization again, over the next 10,000 years.
