‘Pipe Bombs' Thrown at Portland Antifa?
[RedState] The Portland rioters met in Laurelhurst Park to stage up to wreak havoc against the Penumbra Kelly Building, a police building which includes both the Portland Police Bureau and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office.

We reported on that action here.

But a small group of them also formed up there after their action against the police.

It was there they encountered someone/s they alleged were throwing “pipe bombs” at them and which they called a “terrorist bombing”

#2 Either that or the 'thrower' made a mistake in his/her directional alignment.

#4 I second that Raj.

Also wouldn't be surprised if someone was just full sick of their shit either.

#5 Possibly these pencil necks don’t have the athleticism to throw a pipe bomb

#6 /\ Too busy with their doll houses growing up while the women were out playing softball.

#7 Watched the video here.

Not so much a 'pipe bomb', more like somebody's firework item.

Small explosion, not much noise (more of a 'poof'), some smoke and nobody within range.

Even an M-80 would have been more dramatic.

#8 Kind of odd too that someone would be video-recording the pretty blah goings on just prior to the 'massive explosion'.

#9 Well, if the police won't massacre them, they will have to engineer it themselves.

#10 I've been seeing quite a few articles where black-clad Antifa members have shown up in some neighborhood and getting a beating before being been run-off.

#11 Protesters should observe the 10 second rule. If it looks like a pipe bomb jump on it and count to ten. Then count to fifty. If it hasn't gone off yet it probably won't.

#12 I keep saying someone will cut loose on them with a crew served weapon and people will go either "meh" or complain that they didn't get them all.
