Portland Rioters Set Fire to City Hall in Third Night of 'Marches of Terror'
By Jeff Reynolds Nov 06, 2020 3:11 PM ET
On Thursday night, rioters in Portland, Ore., targeted a city councilor at his home for his “No†vote on defunding the police, before setting fire to Portland City Hall. This continues marches that have taken a starkly more violent turn since the fatal police shooting of a black man in Vancouver, Wash., last week, and the three nights since Election Day. The riots have ratcheted up the amount of violence, destruction, intimidation, and lawlessness, even as Portland and the governor increase their police response.
After Election Day, #antifa in Portland organized a "march of terror" through the heart of downtown where they smashed a Catholic church, dozens of businesses & property. The National Guard was activated. Watch my @SkyNewsAust interview:

A march started Thursday night in North Portland that eventually made its way to the home of City Commissioner Dan Ryan, newly elected in a special election over the summer. He voted “no†earlier in the day on a measure to remove an additional $18 million from police funding, making himself a target of antifa and BLM as the swing vote on the city council. The rioters broke a window at Ryan’s house, threw paint-filled balloons, and threw a lit flare at the home. Luckily, it did not cause a fire.
The lawlessness continued:
