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.

Jeremiah Day allegedly menaced police with a knife at the Antifa riot
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.
Antifa member Phoebe Anne Loomis allegedly used weapons to smash windows at the Portland May Day riot
Phoebe Anne Loomis, 37, of Portland, was arrested for felony first-degree criminal mischief. Though quickly released without bail, she has since been charged by the district attorney's office with felony riot plus two more felony criminal mischief charges.
The Post Millennial can report that Loomis is a core member in Portland's Antifa scene. She was arrested carrying a helmet, gloves, a metal bar, pepper spray and a gas mask. Loomis, who has an Antifa gang tattoo on her chest, was previously convicted over her role at another May Day riot back in 2017.
Quang Thien Nguyen was arrested carrying a hammer and sling shot-making manual??
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.

threatening park rangers with an axe.

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.
