WNU Editor: The Police only showed up an hour after the statue was destroyed. That tells you everything on what is happening in Portland. For my American readers, this story is being covered extensively worldwide. But U.S. media coverage is only briefly touching it. That tells you everything on what is happening in the U.S. media.

Time for Contras.
8 years of oh oh obama and the residue finally surfaces.
CHUD MAKES DUMB COMMENT
I concur with Russ.I've known for sometime that a political solution is not possible.Kinetic action is unavoidable.
The 4:05 comment is accurate. Obama does not have a problem with Antifa, BLM or Anarcho-Leftists.
He just disagrees with timing, speed, or openness. If it was 1st one or 1st on three, he would be all in, if he thought it had a 95% chance or working. If it were back, when he was a community organizer, eh would be behind it if it had an 80% chance of working.
Obama is about stealth and things getting back to him. It is why he had Louis Lerner do dirty work and why her computer mysteriously got destroyed.
There is a reason why Mr. Chud's ancestors moved from the Russian Empire to the East coast. Isn't there. It is such a good reason that if a person from that local meets you, you give him the cold shoulder although he wasn't even born then. Your ancestor moved not too long after Washington was president.
Be careful what you support Mr. Chuds. You are a stupid one. I'll just warn you ff Beefsteak Leftists, Beefsteak KKK or Beefsteak bugaloos. They all have a common enemy. So he keep voting Democrat you stupid, loathsome Chud.
Kids stuffed
And the cops just stand buy and watch because?????
Pathetic, time to smash Malcolm x
Can't wait till Halloween fools
It's time to hit the prisoners out of jail kids
we have a lot of protests, in fact a majority of the nation is in support. ten (1) American presidents owned slaves. We have Ft Lee named for Confederate lead general but NO fort named for Gen Grant, who was major factor in keeping our nation together. Germans tore down Hitler street signs etc and now I have read that Russia is putting up statues to Stalin...symbolic right?
Just blame Obama for all the bad things and be happy you have the Trump health plan
Has any Ashanti leader ever apologized for slavery?
When did the Ashanti make slavery illegal? They never did.
In fact Africa still has slavery in Mauretania and Nigeria to name few places.
Washington is useless, like most of Yankee history.
Should erect a statue of Mao Tse Tung.
Now there was a real revolutionary.
I grew up in Portland and since I moved there (1997) it has been incredibly liberal and left leaning...it just boggles the mind that participants in these acts think they are sending a message and making their voices heard...but heard by whom? And what is the message exactly? They rail against a system which - in the case of Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis - they have overwhelming democratic control, and have the power and resources to make all the radical change they seek - in their own neighborhood, municipal, county, and state level - but they don't want that; it takes the Federal Government's responsibility and the Federal Government's money.
What's wrong Antitroll? Men's bathroom ran out of tampons and you don't feel fresh?
Canada and the US both have Indian reservations. So how is Canada better?
The US got rid of slavery. Canada did not. Britain got rid of it for Canada.
Everything else being equal, if Canada was to the south of the US, it would still have slavery.
