Recent arrest in Portland......should we consider them professional rioters? Whatever their cause or reasons, I feel sorry for these young people.

Great question!

First, just to remind those of us here that Portland is still under a siege of lawlessness and rioting for 160+ straight nights. I have no clue what they are rioting for and sadly, I’m afraid they might not know either?

I don’t know these four individuals, but I’m afraid they are being taken advantage of. From the looks of it they have been living rough, possibly homeless and probably drug users. I’ve heard numerous stories about individuals receiving drugs or money for drugs in exchange for their willingness to cause civil unrest.

Possibly being arrested and getting off the streets might be the thing to cause someone to reevaluate what they are doing and hopefully turn their life around.

As a parent I find it heartbreaking, but I’ll happily remove the pictures if you feel they are in poor taste.

Hmm, I wouldn't say poor taste - I'd rather use the term 'poor judgement'
By which I'm reffering to your hints that these people might be 'taken advantage of' or 'paid' by some mysterious entity.


I am not a US citizen and don't see into your inner affairs very much, but I believe Portland riots are against police brutality, aren't they?


So how about just accepting that those might as well have been some pretty pissed-off people that had enough of how police has been treating (black) communities in latest X years in the US?
