Portland, Ore., Mayor Ted Wheeler admits his efforts at appeasing radical anarchists failed after another destructive riot ruined New Year’s Eve in his city, and he is now appealing for federal and state help.
“My good faith efforts at de-escalation have been met with ongoing violence and even scorn from radical Antifa and anarchists,” Wheeler told a press conference Friday. “In response it will be necessary to use additional tools and to push the limits of the tools we already have to bring the criminal destruction and violence to an end.”
Wheeler, who once famously demanded federal law enforcement to leave his city, called for a task force of “federal, state, county and local law enforcement to convene to deal with anarchist violence. as soon as possible.”
He also asked the state Legislature to “increase penalties for repeat offenders” of rioting.
“I believe people convicted of criminal destruction be required to meet with those whose businesses they damaged,” Wheeler said, “and be required to do public service.”
And Joe-blow will give it to him
Sorry to late!! or is this because they think biden is president?
Would it be wrong to claim him an asshat?
Let them reap what they have sown. They bashed law enforcement and federal offers of assistance in the past and now, when all else fails, they want them to bail them out. Typical left-wing garbage.
No Sh!tz Portland, I mean really you didn’t expect this? I feel bad for the good sensible people of Portland, if there are any, but to the libs you got what you wanted. I pray for and stand behind the police 100%.
Trump should send Wheeler an E-Mail and not say NO but HELL NO. Let them hang that Liberal SOB and all his Lieutenants. That’s the time to start over.
