Was it your garden-variety arsonist or an antifa terrorist exacting political retribution that caused the fire at a Portland rib restaurant owned by rapper Snoop Dogg’s uncle?
Investigators with @PDXFire say the fire at Reo's Ribs last month was intentionally set and they have a suspect they would like to question.
This is surveillance footage from that night.

The fenced-off, booby-trapped “autonomous zone” in Oregon has finally been dismantled after Portland’s mayor brokered a deal with protesters — and apologized to them.
The Twitter handle for those leading the protests at the “Red House on Mississippi” started calling for “comrades” to help “take these barricades down” Sunday night.
They’re shocked that antifa attacks them. Reporters with The Oregonian, The Portland Tribune, freelance photographers, and a local TV station reporter and crew complain they’ve been attacked and/or threatened by antifa and Black Lives Matter activists at the so-called Red House Autonomous Zone. This is the spot along Mississippi Avenue in North Portland where armed insurrectionists have taken over a neighborhood to stop a foreclosure of a house – in a foreclosure that actually happened two years ago.
Gabe Johnson, co-founder and director of the Coalition to Save Portland, made another trip today to Portland’s Red House Autonomous Zone to try to continue the discussions he’s had in liaisons with the occupying group. He brought two guests from his attorney’s office with him to show them what’s going on at the site of the Red House. People inside the zone refused to speak with him. Johnson says the tensions inside the zone have increased “one hundred fold.” He says he and his guests were quickly surrounded by what he described as armed militia members with loaded Glocks and billy clubs. The security force told him, “We could have 3,000 motherf***ers down here in a minute if they needed to.”

Much of downtown Portland’s core is still boarded up and dying, the aftermath of months of antifa and Black Lives Matter rioting, looting, and arson. The mayor has done little except to offer clean plywood to cover windows and make a few speeches. Now some businessmen and women have formed a new group to save their city with or without him.
The antifa occupiers at the autonomous zone that sprung up in Portland this week appear to be preparing for a siege. As PJ Media’s Victoria Taft reported, antifa squatters took over a house in Portland and when the government rightly evicted them, they set up an autonomous zone.
Antifa members came out to challenge a patriot group in Olympia, Washington, but retreated after the group fought off their attack, according to witnesses and Twitter posts. The Antifa group reportedly posted a “bash fascists” poster on social media before the incident.
Multiple fights broke out at the Washington State Capitol in Olympia on Saturday between patriots and black-clad members of Antifa.
Supporters of President Donald Trump were at the Capitol holding a pro-Trump and “Back the Blue” rally, while Antifa were holding an event titled “Squash Fascists.”
Anarchists are planning a “week of action” across the US to take revenge for what they called a “presidential assassination of a comrade” – the September shooting of Michael Reinoehl by federal agents.
A Twitter account called “The Base” posted a message on Monday night showing a poster that the group created to promote its “call to action.” The message invited followers to request a PDF version of the poster and to display it in their towns and cities to “help highlight” President Donald Trump’s “assassination” of Reinoehl. The poster reads, “Rest in Power Michael Reinoehl. Every revolution needs people who are willing and ready to fight.”
A new book exposes the origins, nature, tactics, and aims of this dangerous “idea.”
The other day on Facebook a friend posted something critical of the domestic terror group known as Antifa, and someone came to its defense by echoing Clueless Joe Biden’s recent, bizarre declaration that Antifa is not an organization but “an idea.”
Police in Portland, Oregon arrested three people early Thursday morning after receiving a report that some vandals were smashing windows and spray-painting buildings.

Protesters in Portland, Oregon clashed with federal officers after gathering at an ICE facility. Video shows agents dispersing the crowd and detaining multiple demonstrators, one of whom claimed the act was “anti-Semitic.”
Federal officers just arrested two demonstrators outside the ICE building in Southwest Portland and fired several pepper balls at others who were protesting outside. “What’s outrageous? Kids in cages,” protesters chanted earlier. #PortlandProtests #PDXprotests pic.twitter.com/DwwIXUDjTJ

Oregon Public Broadcasting reports Wednesday that black members of Portland’s Black Lives Matter movement are tired of their anti-racism demonstrations being hijacked by the mostly white “Antifa” anarchists and are working to separate the two movements as protests continue.
“Tensions between Black activists fighting for racial justice and anti-establishment protesters have bubbled beneath the surface for months,” the outlet says, noting that many of the anti-racism protests, now in their sixth month, began as peaceful demonstrations but became violent after nightfall, when anarchist groups, who organized on social media, appeared.
