The irresponsible Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler had his own fan club of Antifa rioters outside his home last night as they tried to burn it down by vandalizing the building and throwing burning fireworks inside:

Using bats, antifa black bloc rioters are smashing up property around @tedwheeler’s Portland condo. There have been no police at all tonight per Wheeler’s directive of “deescalation.” #PortlandRiots #antifa pic.twitter.com/D0RtQtGL6j

Some in the crowd broke windows and someone appears to have lit off a firework in the building. Some protesters are upset about this, saying it endangers the people in the building and minority-owned businesses in the complex. Police are now coming pic.twitter.com/zU6c8vuGrw

At some point the Portland police finally declared a riot and bull-rushed the rioters in an effort to stop the madness:

This goes on night after night, and yet neither Ted Wheeler nor the governor of Oregon will call in the National Guard to restore the peace. I’ll have more to say on that in my next post, so check back in a little bit.
