So - what's going on in Portland? I see The Feds tear

gassing what appears to be relatively calm "protests". But in the background, I see federal building completely covered in graffiti from the ground to 10-feet high. There are some reports of people trying to set buildings on fire.
Is this a case - like in Seattle - where the local police are just standing back and letting the protesters do whatever they want? Or are they truly mostly gathering and protesting calmly and then leaving at the end of the night?

throwing molotav cocktails at buildings would be characterized as "generally peaceful" on most MSM networks these days.

Have any of your friends been tear-gassed just for peacefully protesting a brutal police murder? Like in DC so that TheRump could have his photo made while holding a Bible upside down. (I'm sure that was the closest he ever came to opening a Bible. TheRump named a Bible book as "Two Corinthians." He didn't know ...) And then the GOP refuses to do anything of significance about that?
No, I didn't think so. You're a Clueless Karen.
I would guess you might be a Clueless Trumper Cult member. But I hope not, for your sake. It's sad so many people (about 36% of voters) live in the fantasyland of lies constantly repeated by TheRump and FoxFakeNews. (It is amazing how they can completely change their news spin and y'all soak it in, forgetting that TheRump and FoxFakeNews lied to you, continuosly.) So sad for you cultists. It must be hard to admit that you have been conned. By an idiot.
Have you wondered who on his staff suggested he take the preliminary scan test for Alzheimers? Twice, he was bragging about acing that test, on FoxFakeNews. The doctor that designed the test said that it's a very simple test and if you don't ace the test, the doc asks you to surrender your card keys. The hardest task is to count down from one hundred by subtracting 7, multiple times. He's an idiot! And his cult is mostly comprised of non-thinkers. Sad.

You seem to know what going on there. Are the protesters

leaving in the evening and then coming back? Or are they camped out? Are they damaging property (let's assume that graffiti is not damaging property)? Are they preventing businesses from operating?
I'm asking because I don't know and news organizations are reporting different points of view.

What are they protesting exactly and what are they hoping to achieve? What's their endgame?

Maybe they are generally peaceful. That is possible. Maybe they aren't. FOX will want to make you think they are all riots. MSNBC would like you to think they are peaceful needed protests due to systemic racism the black people face.

Protestors meet up at the federal courthouse every night and start trying to burn it down with fireworks and Molotov cocktails. Feds come out and deploy tear gas. Protestors then employ pearl clutching techniques.

They're the anticapitalists. The ageless bane of our nation.

The same folks who took over the hippie and peace movements, the Civil rights movement, the environmental movement, occupy Wall Street, and now BLM. They just want to latch onto whatever flavor of movement of the day has the greatest chance at toppling the evil capitalist system.
They do seem concentrated on Portland for some reason.

Pick your side.
Progressive: federal troops and police are causing the violence Liberal: first amendment rights Independent: I just believe what the MSM says (see above) Conservative: the law should be enforced

Going on two full months and people are still ignoring the violence of the rioters.

there singing Kumbaya. But are they being destructive (assuming that painting everything is not destructive)? Are they blocking businesses?
Apparently things got bad last night - but were they bad before the The Feds showed up?
