Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.
Some Starbucks windows did not resist the celebratory mood of the crowd
Two people were arrested during another unlawful assembly in downtown Portland, where a large group of people marched through the streets and smashed windows of businesses, including different Starbucks locations.
People began gathering around 7 p.m. to "celebrate George's life" and go "all out for Daunte Wright" outside the Justice Center in downtown Portland. Around 8:15 p.m., the crowd had grown to nearly 100 .
Initially, the demonstrators insisted no cameras would be allowed at the event. Shortly after the event started a demonstrator named Richy Qwavoo, a Black man, spoke out and said the event should be documented and people should be allowed to stream it.
"We're trying to prove a point here. We're trying to send a message. Why are we not filming?" he said.
He feels the demonstrations going on now are much different than the ones that started in late May 2020, after George Floyd's murder. He said he thinks people have lost sight of the original movement.
Some members in the group tagged the Justice Center with graffiti. People were also seen starting a fire in the street in front of the Justice Center, but it was quickly put out.
After staying in one spot for a few hours, a group splintered off around 9:30 p.m. and began marching.
That group then began breaking windows and an unlawful assembly was declared just before 10 p.m. One person was seen breaking and spray painting the windows of a Starbucks. That person, identified as 24-year-old Kenneth Harold, was arrested.
36-year-old Randy Gray was placed in handcuffs and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center. He is charged with assaulting a public safety officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
