The armed antifa and BLM militants who have taken over a Portland neighborhood have been warned by the district attorney that he’ll prosecute them. That sound you hear is the laughter coming from the “occupiers” who have
already been arrested and released by Multnomah County DA Mike Schmidt.
On Friday evening, Schmidt issued a statement about the takeover of the so-called “red house,” an appropriate name given the politics of the armed group of militants.
Today, Multnomah County @DAMikeSchmidt released the following statement regarding the situation on North Mississippi Avenue in Portland, Oregon. https://t.co/hK6qv1sum3pic.twitter.com/x4MjtERNiz

Much of downtown Portland’s core is still boarded up and dying, the aftermath of months of antifa and Black Lives Matter rioting, looting, and arson. The mayor has done little except to offer clean plywood to cover windows and make a few speeches. Now some businessmen and women have formed a new group to save their city with or without him.
For months, businesses in the Portland Business Alliance have pleaded and begged the mayor to stop the violence, which is destroying current business and costing them millions of dollars. But Mayor Ted Wheeler has given them promises and not much else in return. Between the governor’s draconian COVID shutdowns and the city’s reputation for lawlessness and violence, Portland’s reputation as a popular and safe tourist destination is taking a huge hit too.
