May Day Rioters Carry Out Violent Acts in Portland, Seattle
A riot in Portland, Oregon, took place on May 1, a day that holds significance for communists and other far-left ideologues.
A group of upwards of 100 individuals, many with shields, gathered in Shemanski Park between 9 and 10 p.m. and marched to City Hall, where they began smashing windows and using spray paint to scrawl various messages on the building.
Police officers declared a riot and ordered the crowd to disperse, but the mob instead began marching in the streets, blocking traffic. They inflicted damage on private businesses. Some members of the crowd used umbrellas to hide the crimes being committed.
