US Attorney for Oregon Billy Williams shredded a local reporter when touring a damaged courthouse last Thursday; saying the media is refusing to report on “criminal activity” while describing the riots as “late night activity.”
“Do you feel like the late-night demonstrations are taking away from the fight for racial justice?” asked one reporter.
“These aren’t late-night demonstrations. This is criminal activity. There’s a difference. The media have failed to distinguish the two. You seem unwilling to call criminals engaged in criminal conduct as criminals, as opposed to lawful protesting,” said the Attorney.
“There needs to be a distinction made between lawful protests and this. This is unlawful. Whether you’re an opportunist or an anarchist, call it out for what it is. You seem to refuse to call something criminal,” he added.
“Late Night Activity” is an incredible euphemism for trying to burn down a courthouse.pic.twitter.com/4kv57xy2vT

PORTLAND SPIRALS: Far-Left Mayor Blames ‘FEDERAL TROOPS’ for Violence, Vandalism in His City
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler bizarrely blamed “Federal Troops” for the current violence sweeping his city; saying their “tactics” are “making the situation much more dangerous” for local residents.
“Before the Federal Troops got here, violence was way down, vandalism was way down… The energy was coming out of the demonstrations. What happened is the troops came in, they used their Unconstitutional tactics, they injured non-violent demonstrators, and the whole thing blew up again,” said Wheeler.
