No arrests were made last night as marauding mobs of Antifa vandalized and smashed businesses along a busy street in Portland. This took place during the now-weekly destruction of Portland. It goes beyond a limited downtown area. The anarchist-communists have branched out.
Portland Police explained that the group mostly dispersed prior to officers’ arrival. No arrests have been made.
When officers arrived in the area, businesses were already damaged. Windows were shattered and spray painted. Rioters hurled a motorized scooter through the glass windows of one business, probably destroying it.
Photographs showed damaged buildings, along with pro-transgender and Antifa graffiti. According to one witness, the group was chanting “black lives matter” while marching.
Twenty-four businesses were vandalized on Northeast Sandy Boulevard, police said. The damage was done in 10 minutes with officers tied up downtown, a videographer on the scene said in a tweet now deleted.
“As officers arrived on the scene, the group had dispersed on their own, thus no arrests.
Watch:
“Black trans lives matter”

Some of the stores had the name of a black transgender smeared with red paint on windows. Tete Gulley was found hanging from a tree. She had committed suicide.
We’re seeing the name Tete Gulley spray painted on many buildings. Gulley was a transgender woman who was found hanging from a tree in Portland in May of 2019. @fox12oregon pic.twitter.com/rajUCt6gqJ

Also, the police are asking for information regarding the kidnapping and gunpoint robbery of a UPS driver in NE Portland earlier tonight. The driver was confronted by four black males who tied him up and stole packages from the truck. They fled in a Honda.
