Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, violent Black Lives Matter rioters lit the Kenosha County Courthouse on fire over an officer involved shooting of a violent sex offender who was not complying with police and appeared to be reaching for something inside his vehicle.
The riot in Portland is ongoing and the Gateway Pundit will be continuing to provide coverage and updates as the situation unfolds.
