Antifa rioters in Portland moved on to attacking residents in their homes and in the streets after being mostly dispersed from the Portland federal courthouse over the past week.

After #antifa were dispersed by police following the attack on the East Precinct, they tried to blind a woman at her home with lasers and attacked her.

The woman was wearing a swastika armband. I don’t care what she was wearing.

The rioters came to her home in middle of the night & assaulted her. They demanded she remove the armband or they would remove it for her. This is after they set fire to the east precinct.

Antifa rioters formed roadblocks and attacked random drivers in the street:

Here we go again .. commies in Portland decided to setup shop @ the @PortlandPolice assosciation by lighting fires & firing guns @ each another. They built baricades wishing to build a Chaz2.0 when a driver in truck was confronted. pic.twitter.com/jFwuDjUcCv

Antifa slash the tires of a truck on the street where they are rioting. The driver drives off. They chase him down and smash up his vehicle. In June they did this to another driver during broad daylight in SE Portland. #PortlandRiots #antifa pic.twitter.com/VB2TGe5qLU

Watch the moment a driver plowed through the barricade #antifa set up at their riot during the attack on the Portland Police union building. After they surrounded his car & slashed his tires, he sped off. Great video by @Matt_KOIN. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/JIPZEh11pL

This is what I mean when I say rioters “shut down” & take over Portland streets. In addition to what they’ve been doing in downtown for months, they also also use cars & stolen random property as barricades in other parts of city. #antifa pic.twitter.com/eCZptkpzNh

Three gunshots were fired at a car in Southeast Portland.

From KATU:

Officers responded to the 3500 block of Southeast Francis Street after two people called 911 to report that they had been shot at.

Police said the two victims had left the area where the shooting occurred and were reporting it from a safe location.

The victims told officers that three people had fired shots toward them. The victims were not injured, but their vehicle was struck several times.

The Washington Times reported that "no witnesses would speak to officers about what happened."

Antifa rioters set fires and laid siege to the Portland Police Bureau's East Precinct.

#Antifa have started a fire on the front door of the Portland Police east precinct. They tore off the barricade and placed tinder around the fire. They’re trying to burn down the building. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/2UN7o21dZy

And like what #antifa have done w/every building they’ve attacked, they’re now tearing off the protective barrier to the east precinct to break inside. The crowd chants “didn’t see shit” to remind everyone to comply w/remaining silent. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/tL8DlYcgfi

The violent attack on the @PortlandPolice east precinct overnight was organized by antifa group Youth Liberation Front. They instructed their followers to meet at the nearby park on the east side of the city, far from downtown. They have announced plans to go into suburbs as well pic.twitter.com/SqcdyXfvoE

Overnight on 5–6 Aug, another riot was declared by Portland Police after #antifa tried to break into the east precinct (far from downtown). They barricaded & set fire to the front of the building. One of the rioters tried to run over officers using a truck https://t.co/Fr4gcgMvRj pic.twitter.com/XtZ2909APV

Rioters who set fire to the @PortlandPolice east precinct overnight came armed with helmets and shields. Their shields bore the antifa "two flags" symbol (one for communism, one for anarchy).

Police eventually moved against the rioters:

The rioters moved on to attacking people at their home as the top video above showed.

Earlier this week, Portland rioters were filmed burning a Bible and setting American flags on fire while chanting "F**k Trump":

First the statues. Now Bible burnings in Portland, reportedly in front of the federal courthouse. Pray for the conversion of the souls of those engaged in pure evil. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/e6BOqvCbo9

The homicide rate in Portland has skyrocketed over the past month:

In June, @tedwheeler disbanded @PortlandPolice's Gun Violence Reduction Team in response to George Floyd's death & antifa/BLM riots. Now, Portland is experiencing a surge in gun-related homicides. There are also triple the number of shootings in July 2020 compared to July 2019. pic.twitter.com/6o650PlPP5

As a reminder, The Washington Post on Saturday reported that "calm" had returned to Portland after federal agents withdrew.
