    As America readies for election day, events in Portland expose tensions

    Read how the lefty Daily Mail media blames the president by saying inflamed by a divisive President. And don't blame it on the left...Are people that stupid to believe that..

    As America steels itself for election day, events in Portland expose the bitter tensions that blight the world’s richest nation and how they are being fanned by political extremists and inflamed by a divisive President.

    Anarchy in the USA: Once renowned liberal city of Portland has become a crucible of America's gun-fuelled culture war, reports IAN BIRELL

    John Jackson was relaxing at home a fortnight ago after a day’s work in his cafe when he received a call shortly before 10pm to tell him the premises in downtown Portland had been vandalised.

    ‘Two windows had been shot out, which was really shocking, and another one broken,’ said the businessman and former Marines officer, who found the floor littered with glass when he went to inspect the damage.

    His chain of four Heroes American Cafe had received a threat three days earlier that it dismissed as a crank call.

    But it turned out they had been targeted by hard-Left activists after social-media postings falsely claimed his profits went to the police.

    ‘We were identified as being against Black Lives Matter but this makes no sense since I am a black business owner,’ said Jackson, 55, who supports the movement.

    Reminds me of an old "Peanuts" cartoon, where Lucy trips then shouts at Charlie Brown who's sitting across the room, "See what you made me do!"
