The Kingston Trio Told Us They Were Rioting In Africa

It Is Not Being Reported In The Nightly News Shows But They Are Still Rioting In Portland.

Here are 6 excerpts from the article link you will find posted at the bottom of this Blog Posting...

#1...Portland has been an area of lawlessness for the past 18 months, to include an all-time high in homicides and over 1,000 shootings.

#2...Recent law changes forced Portland police to stand by on October 12, 2021 and watch as a mob of approximately 100 rioters tore through the downtown area causing over $500,000 in damages.

#3...The violent anarchists set dumpsters ablaze, blocked off roadways, smashed out storefront windows, and spray painted Antifa and anti-police messages such as “KILL COPS” and “RIOTS WORK” throughout the downtown corridor.

#4...By the time the rioters finally dispersed at about 11 p.m., they’d wreaked havoc on at least 35 separate locations, including retail stores, banks, government buildings, and coffee shops, the Portland Police Bureau said.

#5...According to a public statement by Portland police’s Lt. Jake Jensen, they did not intervene because of Oregon House Bill 2928 and the restrictions placed on law enforcement in a crowd-control environment.

#6...No arrests were made.

Fella to the Rescue...

I could offer to help Portland Police handle their predicament by explaining to them that...

When a crowd is in the process of doing an estimated $500,000 of damage to 35 locations, including banks, retail stores, coffee shops, and government buildings in less than two hours, this is a situation that requires the Police To Do Something and standing by and watching cannot be classified as Doing Something.

The police should invite the Mayor of Portland to join them in their Crowd Control Efforts. On second thought, maybe this is not such sage advice. Here are some of the problems that could arise when Hiz Honor is taken along...

Ø The Mayor will probably spend his time shouting at the policemen as they try to stop the damage saying things like: “Don’t you dare arrest that poor child with the mask on! Just because he was holding a Molotov Cocktail and trying to light it on fire does not mean he intends to throw it in an attempt to contribute to tonight’s estimated $500,000 of damage to 35 locations, including banks, retail stores, coffee shops, and government buildings!”

Ø The Mayor will probably spend his time on patrol with the police taking pictures of whatever the police try to do to stop the damage in order to fire the police that tried to stop the damage the next day when he gets back into hiz office.

Ø The Mayor will probably be heard shouting at the policemen things like, “Stop trying to take the mask off of that young woman who just hit you over your head with that big stick! She has a right to keep her identity a secret! It’s in the Constitution that rioters should not be forced to identify themselves! It’s a Sacred Right of Privacy which our Founding Fathers held dear!”

All of this, My Dear Readers, is an example of what has come to be known as The Portland Way...

If Police Interference stops a Riot before the Rioters are Finished Rioting there has, in fact, been no Riot. It is then automatically classified as a Peaceful Fiery Protest.
