Story continues below advertisementA cafe owned by a military veteran was shot at during a chaotic demonstration in Portland over the weekend after being deemed by rioters as unfriendly to the Black Lives Matter movement.
placeholderHeroes American Cafe was targeted for being an “unfriendly business” by so-called Antifa-linked Twitter accounts, owner John Jackson told Fox News.
Two windows in the cafe’s downtown location were shot at and another was struck with a blunt object — possibly a baseball bat — said Jackson, a Black man who served in the Army and Marine Corps.

“I think it’s more psychological,” he said. “When I first came here [Portland] about 10 years ago, it was one of the most accepting cities that I knew of.”
Two windows at Heroes American Cafe in Portland were boarded up Monday after rioters targeted the business over the weekend.A tweet posted Thursday by @DublinPDX said the cafe gives its profits “to their heroes… cops” and railed against businesses that support law enforcement.
“We’re trying to compile a list of all non-friendly businesses in PDX,” read a screenshot of another tweet. “AKA any company that’s hanging blue lives garbage in their store or anything else that’s anti the BLM movement. Drop them below.”
Jackson said his businesses support all heroes — which includes police officers, military personnel, veterans, nurses and firefighters.
placeholder“We’re for all heroes and we don’t support zeroes,” Jackson said. “So if you’re a bad cop, we don’t really have time for you. If you’re walking your beat and you’re taking care of your people or you’re saving lives, we love you.”
Demonstrators gathered in Portland on Sunday for a “Day of Rage” rally that saw rioters engaging in vandalism and the toppling of two statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

A Portland café owned by a military veteran was targeted over the weekend by demonstrators.
Despite the damage, the cafe’s downtown location was open Monday. No arrests have been made in the vandalism.
Portland has endured more than 100 consecutive nights of violent protests and riots that began with the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Jackson said he voted for President Trump in 2016 with some reservations, but made up his mind after his cafe was damaged.
“This solidified my Trump vote,” he said. “I’m done with this weakness and we need some real strong leadership.”

Its taken five months of daily vandalism, fire setting, destruction of property, assaults and murder for a guy like this cafe owner to say “Im done?” Wow! Where was he when all the other businesses and federal buildings were being destroyed. Or, was that a simple case of ‘not my problem.’
Portland is in too deep. There are going to have to be dramatic measures taken before that city is restored.

HEART BREAKING for any small business to have to go through THIS evil crap!!!
I was once a Democrat UNTIL I SAW ALL THEIR UNCOMMON FOOLISH ACTIONS, ALONG WITH THE LIES I CAUGHT THEM IN AND THE DECEIT THAT THEY DID TO CONSTITUENTS and when I tried to reason with them (Sherrod Brown, etc.), they became angry and agitated because I questioned them as if I did not know any better. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT and I was a Dem all my life. All I can think is that when God knows that a person has an open and honest heart, HE intervenes and shows them the truth about everything they question and it opens their eyes to the evil around them. At least, that is what happened with me. I WILL MOST LIKELY NEVER VOTE DEMOCRAT AGAIN.

“and the toppling of two statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt”
When are these fools going to topple statues of Muhammad?
Sorry I forgot there are no statues of Muhammad, would you erect a statue of a fat white dwarf screaming kill the infidel.

I hoe we experience daily riots, BLM (Burning, Looting, Murder) attacks and AntiFa home invasions. American communists, anarchists, racist terrorists and MarxiCrats (formerly aka “Democrats”) do not realize that their actions are alienating the voter. KEEP IT UP, COMRADES! Our republic cannot allow the Harris-Biden ream to take over.
