Around here, it looks a lot like last year.
Portland celebrated the New Year with broken glass, riot gear and impact munitions during one of the fiercest protests in months. Multnomah County deputies and Federal Protective Service officers also joined the fray, as lines of police and protesters clashed multiple times throughout the night.
I suppose my solution - simply shooting them - doesn't play well in the liberal city.
An employee of Standard Insurance said at least 41 windows on the Portland office tower were shattered — primarily the frontage of a Starbucks — with the man estimating that each would cost $5,000 apiece to replace.
"Starbucks is leaving. They're gone. They're not gonna come back after this," the man said. "We took our fences down thinking everything was quiet. Bad move."
Happy New Year! Same as the old year, it seems.
