So from what I understand, 90% of that damage was on the first day of the riot, and was cleaned up pretty quickly afterwards. The closest you can come to saying Portland was "on fire" or "destroyed" was a small portion of the city for one or two days. During June, protests steadily died down (and were far more peaceful) until Trump sent in the feds, and that exploded protests yet again (THANKS, TRUMP!!!). However, the damage was largely focused on one specific block and courthouse. 99.9% of the city was fine.
Reminder that I responded to Lostnfound calling the protests a "takeover" of the city. The protests failed to "overtake" one ******* courthouse. Portland was and is fine.
And by the way, the riots caused 300 thousand dollars in damage to public buildings!!!! Don't look into the fact that in 2020 ALONE, the city of Portland paid out 1.14 million in lawsuits filed against the police. That's money stolen from average people because of police misconduct. Maybe focus on that instead?
Portland has been savaged over 40 times in less than 2 years. Please remove your head from the sand, and just look on U T, or any half say website

and I can get you fifty more.. $300,000 damage? In your dreams
You need to wake up and open your eyes
The first video you linked me is titled, "Portland Protesters Burn Bibles, American Flag Outside Federal Courthouse." That's their first amendment right and has nothing to do with property damage - the only thing being hurt there is your feelings.
The second video is of a couple of protesters lighting a fire to one public ICE building - if you actually watched the video you would see that the entire building isn't close to being on fire and 100% still exists today. Your claim is that protesters burned the ******* city down but you send a video of them failing to burn one ******* building???
The third video is basically the same - that's a lame, small fire that was probably immediately put out.
The 300 thousand in damage was a claim from Doug's article. Do you think Doug's source would lie?
So once again, how much of Portland do you think was burned down? Percentage wise.
