A statue of George Washington, the first president of the United States, was toppled and draped in a burning American flag by protesters in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday evening.

KOIN 6 reports:

    Thursday marked the 21st day of protests in Portland sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. Two groups — Rose City Justice and Lavender Caucus — hosted a sit-in rally at Jefferson High School in the evening where community members shared their experiences with racism to a crowd of a few hundred. The group did not hold a march.

    A separate group of about 20 people met at NE Sandy Boulevard and NE 57th Avenue around 10 p.m. at the site of a large bronze statue of George Washington. Some wrapped the statue’s head in an American flag and lit the flag on fire. Their numbers grew over the next hour until there were enough people to pull the statue to the ground. They quickly scattered. A KOIN 6 News crew found the statue face down and covered in graffiti. Portland police arrived a short time later.

15-20 years ago, I warned of this.  And it's not going to end here.

The point I have been trying to make -- there has been no pushback; therefore why would they stop?  They continue to get away with rioting, robbing, assault, invading, etc., and no one is stopping them ... so they continue.  Our past Black president has encouraged them to continue.  Trump has threatened to put an end to all of this with the military, National Guard, etc., and pretty much has just let it continue.

No one is willing to step up and say enough is enough.  Not one dang politician.

We'll see how the Tulsa rally goes ... GOD help us if they loot and riot and nothing is done.  It will be an all and out battle.  Those attending the rally maybe safe while they are there ... but who is going to protect them once they leave?

What about Trump himself??  Groups were allowed to tear down barricades around the White House and yet this violence continues.

I'm fearful as well.  Lock and load.
