Also, this article is a fine example of how the MSM(D) lies by omission. OregonLive had reporters on the scene, tweeting what they saw as it happened. The highlights are:
- The first mention of the police threatening to use deterrents is at 1:54, and the threats are aimed at the Antifa totalitarians.

The last report at 3:52, that it looks like everything is wrapping up.

Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.
