Even if you didn’t know where this happened, you should have. Portland, Oregon, is the go-to place for senseless violence and an even more senseless mayor. The downtown area has become a wasteland, and U-Haul is making a fortune from people leaving the city. Portland is the US headquarters of ANTIFA, even though the DA’s office refuses to prosecute any of its members no matter how violent they become. It has become a proverbial s*#thole.
Last week, rioters torched 15 police cars in what they described as a preemptive attack. That is a misnomer, since the police just watch the rioters with no intention of arresting any of them. The case is allegedly being investigated as arson, but don’t you believe it.

On May Day we torched some PPB cars at their training facility. We cut through a fence, set ten fires and are happy it grew to burn fifteen cars!
We did it for the Haymarket Martyrs.

We did it for all the Black and Indigenous rebels murdered by slavers and settlers.
We did it for all the brutalized student protesters.
Above all we did it for the Palestinian martyrs! (and we want to remind the world that the “official” count is stuck at 35,000 martyrs because the Israelis bombed every hospital to stop accurate reporting of the dead)Our attack was preemptive. After seeing Humboldt, Columbia, UCLA and more we knew the occupation at PSU would be swept violently and wanted to attack PPB before.
While we respect the student occupations, particularly the ones occupying buildings and causing damages to the colleges, we hate to see them passive and waiting to be attacked. Catch the police off guard! They do not believe you are free! Show them you are! Raid them before they raid you!For the students we have the following messages:
1-No symbolic victories. Do not accept speeches and committees and apology emails. The two demands: Divest! Amnesty for all!
2-No negotiations. Do not give up ground until you see the money pulled out and the charges dropped and the suspensions canceled.
3-Do not let them demobilize you! Do not let the parties (fuck the Communist pieces of shit), the student government or the admin tell you its over. Its not! Keep the threat of your return present, especially if the admin refuses to meet demands.
4-FIGHT! Defend your camps! If the frat bros come, smash their frat house windows! If the Zionist settlers come, throw fireworks at them! If the cops come don’t just resist arrest, fight them! They will hate you and beat you if you’re peaceful or violent, and it is time to be violent.
5-Out of the quads, out of the buildings, into the streets! As the semester ends this is not over. Fight during the summer. When next year starts fight then too!We call for more actions to avenge Palestinians and the brutalized students at PSU and beyond! Let ten million cop cars burn!

For the record, Rachel Corrie was a pro-Hamas protester who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in Rafah, Gaza in 2003.
Corrie, 23, from Olympia, Washington, was trying to stop the bulldozer from tearing down a building in the Rafah refugee camp when she was run over. She was taken to Najar hospital in Rafah, where she died, said Dr. Ali Moussa, a hospital administrator.
Corrie was standing in a trench where she could not be seen, protecting an entrance to a weapons tunnel.
