Portland Anarchy Forever By Chris Knight.
It looks like the antifa/BLM urban terrorists are now showing their real colours and attacking anything white, even though some of them are vaguely white or something. A statue of madman proto-woke Abe Lincoln was torn down, defeating the racist that ended slavery. There you go.

Portland wakes up to see what antifa did overnight. A century old statue of George Washington was toppled & set on fire with an American flag. “White fragility,” “Damn white men” & other messages are written on the moment. On the ground nearby: “Defund white men.”
“Droves of protesters in Portland, Ore., took down the statues of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln on Sunday in demonstrations that had reportedly been billed online as “Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage” by organizers.
According to The Oregonian, a group of nearly 200 protesters marched through parts of the town on Sunday night — some carrying weapons, shields and red paint — and toppled both statues before breaking multiple windows at the Oregon Historical Society.
The first statue to come down was that of Roosevelt, who has been known to have expressed racist attitudes toward Native Americans, and then Lincoln’s statue. The paper reported that protesters also painted “Dakota 38” on the base of the latter, referring to the number of Dakota men that were hanged after the Dakota-U.S. War under Lincoln.
Both statues had reportedly been gifted to the city during the 1920s.
A banner that read “Stop honoring racist colonizer murderers” was also reportedly rolled out at the Oregon Historical Society during the demonstration, which at one point was declared a riot by local police, who began to intervene after the Roosevelt statue came down.
Kerry Tymchuk, executive director of the Oregon Historical Society, told local media that “no damage to any of the exhibits” was done, however.
The demonstration, which came a day before Columbus Day, follows months of protests in the city, some of which have turned violent, against racial injustice following the police killing of George Floyd. The unarmed Black man died in Minneapolis in late May after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes.
President Trump tweeted about the recent demonstration in Portland on early Monday. Reacting to footage of the Lincoln statue coming down, Trump wrote: “These are Biden fools. ANTIFA RADICALS. Get them FBI, and get them now!”
No, they got away with it, as the Leftoids usually do; it is part of the script by now.
