Who Threw The Molotov?

In Portland, to celebrate 100 nights of rioting, some jazzbo thinks it's a good idea to throw a Molotov cocktail.  The guy who catches fire, disagrees.


C'mon, folks.  There are no peaceful protesters left in Portland.  The folks who show up for these nightly anarchy lessons are simply looking for opportunistic criminality.

I used to help manage an annual festival.  This little town of 20K would host 150K or more.  We'd set up a large misdemeanor booking area at the edge of the festival.    A large, outdoor area surrounded by a chain-link fence.We'd book 'em, cite 'em, and turn them loose after the festival was over.  We had very little repeat business, but we set up the booking area every year.

Portland needs to get a handle on their crowds, so Molotov guy can get extinguished.

TPTB in Portland don't want to control the rioters. And the working classes of Portland are too kind to their representatives in the city, county and state governments. Every last one of them needs a good coating of tar-n-feathers and I can think of a couple that need to be swinging from a lamp post. But, then again, I'm not a very good subject/surf/peasant/slave/peon. Guess my Scots-Irish is sticking out again.

As to Portland, the jail will not hold arrests. There is no bail. Then, the DA announced he will not prosecute most arrests.
