No Letup on Portland Riots

Twelve people were arrested Tuesday night and another three were arrested Thursday as rioters continue to attack police, government buildings, businesses and some neighborhoods in Portland.  The widespread violence Tuesday, as reported by KATU TV, involved crowds of rioters which smashed windows at businesses and church, and threw fireworks and bottles at police.  Several of those arrested were carrying loaded firearms.  William Mansell of Good Morning America reports that rioters on Thursday targeted the suburban home of a Portland City Commissioner throwing  paint-filled balloons at the house.  It was the fourth time this week that the Commissioner’s home had been attacked.  After police dispersed the rioters from the neighborhood, they moved downtown and set fire to City Hall.
