No end in sight as rioters call for ‘revolution’ and feds struggle to contain violence
Each night, as the last scatters of sunlight fade away, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of protesters and rioters begin to emerge. Their target: the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse located in downtown Portland, Oregon.
What awaits them inside the courthouse is a mix of agents from the Federal Protective Service, the U.S. Marshals Service, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They were sent to the city as reinforcements to protect federal buildings.
Amid banging drums and raucous cheers castigating law enforcement, some in the crowd attempt to agitate and escalate the scene further.
Night after night—now into its 59th and counting—officers face an onslaught of projectiles such as rocks, bottles, and bricks, as well as commercial fireworks (which can cause burns), according to the Portland Police Bureau. Rioters also bang against the protective barrier that surrounds most of the courthouse, sometimes using saws to cut through, other times using grappling hooks or rope to tear it down.

It is so sad to see American cities destroyed, probably forever. Satan is on the rampage seeking whom he may devour.
The 1968 Democratic Presidential Convention in Chicago chose Hubert Humphrey to run for President. Thousands of protesters showed up to protest the Vietnam War. The protesters were met by 12000 Chicago police officers and 15000 Federal and State agents. 500 protesters , 100 civilians and 152 police officers were injured. What can we expect when President Trump and former Vice-President Biden go to Cleveland for their first debate? Pray for Cleveland, it’s mayor and police force and hopefully Federal and State agents. Why? The protesters of Antifa and some of the B.L.M. are trained satanic anarchists. They now call for a Revolution not just social justice for black Americans. The Russian Revolution murdered the Monarch Nicolas and his whole family. When the Revolution ended 66 million Russians died from starvation or at the Gulag death camps. Christians need to pray, show love to all, tell of the love of God and preach the Gospel to all. All Christians are in this together!!!
