A demonstration in Portland turned violent overnight as rioters launched mortars and hurled projectiles at police officers.

The violent demonstrations and riots have gone on for weeks in the largest city in Oregon.

Late Thursday, a group of several hundred gathered near the Justice Center, which houses a police precinct. They blocked streets, chanting, speaking, and setting off commercial-grade fireworks, the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement.

Around midnight, federal officers came out and the rioters met them by throwing projectiles.

Rioters also lit commercial-grade fireworks, which landed inside the courthouse. At the same time, the mob set a fire on Southwest Main Street nearby.

Officers declared it a riot and as they used force, the mob became very violent.

They were pushed back but returned an hour later. They were pushed back again and there were several arrests.

Some rioters self-identify as Antifa.

This is the armed militia of the Commiecrat party. Elect Biden and they will be running the country. The only difference is thye will be deputized by Biden to take away your guns and haul you off to a FEMA Camp for “reeducation.”

Antifa is a twrrorist organization that openly says they intend to overthrow the government. Time to treat them as the domestic & foreign entity they are and arrest the ring leaders and those who fund them. And who is supplying mortars?!
