Part 4/12:
The violence in Portland has taken a dangerous new turn. Protesters and anarchists have brought out symbolic and highly provocative tools such as guillotines—a grim display of intent to harm law enforcement officers and disrupt federal facilities. Videos depict masked individuals, raiding federal property with fireworks, baseball bats, and bricks, explicitly calling for violence against authorities.
A particularly egregious example includes protesters attempting to burn down federal buildings, with evidence suggesting a tactical move to intimidate and threaten law enforcement personnel. Onlookers and reporters highlight that such acts are far from peaceful protests; they are outright acts of insurgency.
