The Regressive Left

There's a new bill in Oregon which would prohibit police from releasing booking photos except for in specific circumstances and would require publish-for-pay publications to remove mugshots upon request. Juan Chavez of the Oregon Justice Resource Center said mugshots “results in trial by press release, not a judge or jury. And make no mistake, in this day and age, this is the digital version of a perp walk.” I haven't put too much thought into this, though my gut reaction is that a little public shamming is probably a good way to dissuade radicals from being radicals. But the real point I'd like to make is that the mugshots have served as a means of countering the narrative that the Portland riots and vandalism weren't done by Antifa/leftist but instead by far right radicals. I've come across this argument numerous times. Those on the left who don't want to believe the facts, simply imply that the chaos in Portland is caused by boogaloo boys, proud boys or some ...

A work in progress.  I do not plan to include as much detail to this timeline as the Portland timeline as it is simply too time consuming.  May 29, 2020 A night of rioting and clashes with police carried into the early hours of Saturday after a larger crowd splintered into smaller groups and protesters were reported smashing glass and damaging buildings across the International District and onto Capitol Hill .

This is an incomplete map showing some of the places where radical leftist in Portland engaged in criminal acts. The purpose of this map is to break the myth that the violence and vandalism in Portland is limited to a couple of blocks downtown.  See Timeline of Portland Riots & Group Criminality: May 29 2020 to May 28 2021 for more detail. (I'll add more locations as time permits. At this point I focused on adding places that had recurring events and those further away from downtown to show the breadth of the chaos.)
