Predictably, Antifa is planning a new autonomous zone in Portland near the federal courthouse from which to launch their attacks. They say they are going to engage in a revolution. As they report on social media, “The Revolution is now.”
The timing is perfect. Oregon State Police pulled out of Portland Friday since the new [Soros-funded] prosecutor will refuse to prosecute riots.
The Oregon State Police will no longer be assisting with Portland riot control, pulling out of the city after the district attorney announced that many crimes committed by rioters would not be prosecuted, according to the Oregonian.
From the Oregonian:
State police committed to two weeks “and that two weeks ended today,” said spokesman Capt. Timothy R. Fox.
“We’re in a county that’s not going to prosecute this criminal behavior,” Fox added.
It was a pointed reference to Tuesday’s announcement by new Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt that his office won’t pursue many of the charges against demonstrators, including disorderly conduct, interfering with a police officer and even riot in some circumstances.
“The Oregon State Police is continually reassessing our resources and the needs of our partner agencies and at this time we are inclined to move those resources back to counties where the prosecution of criminal conduct is still a priority,” Fox said in a statement. “Last night was our last night in Portland. This decision was based on the fact that our two-week commitment ended last night…Troopers are returning to the communities that they are assigned to serve and protect.”
DHS agreed to pull out of Portland as long as State and local police were able to control the mob and keep them from burning the federal courthouse to the ground. They will likely return.
THE REVOLUTION
Rioters are now free to do whatever they want.
“The revolution is now.”#Antifa are planning some type of autonomous zone occupation in Portland. They haven’t announced a location yet but likely contender is Lownsdale square, the park by the federal courthouse they’ve been using as operations base to launch attacks. pic.twitter.com/hR6zgzzuoK

THE NEW PROSECUTOR
The new prosecutor whose territory includes Portland announced Tuesday his office will not prosecute cases of disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, and interfering with law enforcement officers. Escape in the third degree, harassment, and riot will also not be prosecuted under the policy.
Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt claimed it makes the community safer. The riots, which he calls “demonstrations,” are “righteous.”
“These demonstrations are being used to righteously express grief, anger, and frustration over that senseless act of violence, and the countless other abuses people of color have endured throughout history at the hands of the legal system,” he told reporters.
Here’s the full list of charges that Schmidt’s office will decline to prosecute when connected to protests:
Interfering with a peace officer or parole and probation officer
Disorderly conduct in the second degree
Criminal trespass in the first and second degree
Escape in the third degree
Harassment
Riot (Unless accompanied by a charge outside of this list.)
Charges of resisting arrest or assaulting a police officer might not be prosecuted. They will be “subjected to the highest level of scrutiny by the deputy district attorney reviewing the arrest,” according to a press release from the DA’s office.
“Consideration will be given to the chaos of a protesting environment,” the release continues, “especially after tear gas or other less-lethal munitions have been deployed against community members en masse.”
It’s retroactive to May 29th.

The only people that correct this are the citizens of Portland. Let them sort it out.
If you carefully read the “Portland occupied protest” sign, two things stand out. First, they plan to occupy Portland until the election – “2+ months” – and they need “safe houses.” Portland residents now know that their houses are not safe from protesters (aka rioters, looters, criminals, unemployed bums, etc.).
Anybody who doesn’t believe George Soros is orchestrating this is a fool. Few questioned Soros funding campaigns of prosecutors around the country and now we know why he did it; to promote chaos and anarchy within the borders of the US with the intent of overthrowing our government and our sovereign nation. It won’t stop until his prosecutors who refuse to prosecute the rioters are replaced with people who know their job is to uphold the law and most importantly, our Constitution which people like Soros and his puppet Obama hate.
I might add, the UN has been quietly working to (illegally) support certain candidates in local elections all across the US. Be wary of candidates and politicians who use the terms like sustainability, affordable housing, proper land use and land management. Be wary of those who want to overturn single family zoning and pushing for multifamily developments in the the suburbs and rural America. It’s not about affordable housing or even the environment but control of the population. Look up the UN Agenda 21 and don’t rely on leftist fact checking sites like Snopes.
Some one is going to open fire on these blm fools one of these times and there will be a bunch of them killed and wounded then they will really be screaming for the feds to come and get them out of there.Of course that is just what the communists are hoping for.
Where is the federal law enforcement or the state for that matter.The d.a. is being absolutely lawless and should be ARRESTED by the state A.G.!If the A.G.refuses then HE should be arrested by the federal Marshall! the list of charges will be long violating both state and federal law! Anybody remember “nobody is above the law”often quoted by insane left?…….Well …WE THE PEOPLE ARE WAITING !
