So, as I read through the headlines, I continue to think to myself. The social and economic damage that is being created by Ted Wheeler, Mayor of Portland and Kate Brown the Governor is going to last for a very long time.
Progressive Groups Call for Resignation of Portland Mayor Over Fatal Shooting
Several progressive groups in Oregon have demanded Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler’s resignation following the fatal shooting of a right-wing protester in the city over the weekend.
In a joint letter, left-wing organizations the Oregon chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Oregon Justice Resource Center, the Portland Democratic Socialists of America NextUp Action Fund, Portland’s Resistance and Popular Mobilization PDX said Wheeler has “not protected or supported” Portland’s residents.
The groups also called for the resignation of Police Chief Chuck Lovell following the Saturday shooting that killed a supporter of the conservative group Patriot Prayer, Aaron Jay Danielson, also known as Jay.

Man Linked to Portland Shooting Was Previously Arrested With Gun
An Antifa member whose sister says she recognized him from photographs of the deadly shooting scene in Portland on Aug. 29 was previously arrested for possessing a loaded gun, court records show.
Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, is reportedly being probed for potential involvement in the shooting over the weekend, which left Aaron Danielson dead.
Reinoehl was arrested in the early hours of July 5 for interfering with an officer, resisting arrest, and possession of a loaded firearm, according to court records reviewed by The Epoch Times. All three are misdemeanors.
Photographs released by the Portland Police Bureau showed a man that appears to be Reinoehl on the ground, with a gun nearby, being arrested by multiple officers.
Thirteen people were arrested during riots that night, police said, but the list of those taken into custody did not include the man’s name.

Portland Rioters Smash Windows, Break Into Business During March to Mayor’s Home
Rioters in Portland on Monday night broke into a business and started a fire inside during a march to the apartment building where Mayor and Police Commissioner Ted Wheeler lives.
Video footage showed rioters using baseball bats to shatter glass windows and doors to gain access to a dental clinic before lighting a fire inside.
Graffiti sprayed on the business said “This is the language of the unheard” and “Cops & Klan go hand in hand.”
In a bid to “deescalate the situation,” police officers “stayed out of sight and monitored the situation from the distance,” the Portland Police Bureau said in an incident summary.
But the continued mayhem triggered a response. The clinic is situated in a large apartment building, prompting fears the fire could spread to residences and leading to the declaration of a riot.
Officers moved in and dispersed the crowd so that firefighters could respond and extinguish the fire and others started by rioters.
Clashes between the officers and rioters went into the early hours of Tuesday.
