I guess now that the rioters have switched from fed buildings to city buildings, the Portland Mayor has decided they are bad.

And yet, he's STILL a mealy-mouthed weasel:
"When you commit arson with an accelerant in an attempt to burn down a building that is occupied by people who you have intentionally trapped inside, you are not demonstrating, you are attempting to commit murder"
NO. If you commit arson of an occupied building, that's attempted murder. None of this crap about "trapping people inside."
It might sound like I'm being a pedant, but since these... ....leftist politicians.... .... have been trying to say "ATTACKING PROPERTY ISN'T VIOLENCE!"
1 it's necessary to make this point. These insurrectionists are trying to kill people EVERY TIME they attempt burning things down.
That they are also attempting to trap people inside is additional malice, not the factor for attempted murder.
1: I suppose I must also note that that's a lie, too. It most certainly is violence.
