Battleground Portland: Day 51

For the 51st consecutive day, federal law enforcement officials were attacked by radical Antifa terrorists and BLM extremists. For the second day in a row, what Mayor Wheeler and the mainstream media call “peaceful protests,” these protesters attacked the federal courthouse building and the federal agents tasked with keeping order.

• Violent anarchists barricaded federal officers inside the Hatfield Federal Courthouse using materials harvested by dismantling nearby security fencing. Violent anarchists then attempted to set the building on fire.
   
• Violent anarchists attempted to blind federal officers by targeting their eyes with laser weapons.
   
• Violent anarchists launched projectiles at federal officers including commercial grade fireworks and bags of paint.
   
• Violent anarchists used dismantled security fencing to repeatedly bang against federal property attempting to breach it for the second night in a row.
   
• Violent anarchists again set fire to the base of what used to host the City of Portland’s Elk statue, continuing multiple nights of fire at this site.
   
• Violent anarchists previously published personal lodging and rental details of DHS employees on social media, detailing exact locations including entrance and exit points of lodging, harassing rental and lodging staff, and asking individuals to acquire tools for attacks. 
   
• Violent anarchists expanded riots beyond federal property to residential areas on Saturday, also setting fire to the Portland Police Association headquarters.
