Every day new reports are emerging about how Trump supporters are losing their jobs or being unjustly targeted by the government agencies for the crime of entering the Capitol building on January 6th. Multiple videos have been posted all over social media of police officers removing barricades, waving Trump supporters, Antifa, and others up to the front steps of the Capitol. Other videos show Capitol Police allowing Trump supporters to enter the Capitol building. Democrats were so outraged by the behavior of Trump supporters that they impeached President Trump, blaming him for their actions. They’ve called on prosecutors to lock up the violators and throw away the keys. It’s curious, however, that for the past several years, Antifa and BLM radicals have been targeting federal buildings in major cities like Portland, and the Democrats don’t seem to care.
Last night, Darby Marshall Howard, 22, of Helena, Mont., a homeless man from Montana, who is affiliated with Antifa, was arrested TWICE within hours during the violent riots in Portland, which included entering the lobby of Chase Bank and Wells Fargo in downtown Portland and trying to forcefully enter the federal courthouse. He also punched an officer in the head.
Nothing to see here. Just some far-left radical activists breaking into a federal building…
According to the Post Millenial – Howard was first arrested for felony first-degree criminal mischief and resisting arrest Thursday afternoon. Howard was allegedly part of a group of several-dozen far-left intruders who broke inside the lobbies of a Chase Bank and Wells Fargo in downtown Portland. Shocking footage outside one of the banks showed a crowd of people violently shoving a security guard who then brandished a handgun.

Howard was recorded on video trying to force open the doors to the courthouse and screaming at the staff inside. The violence prompted federal officers to respond. Howard was arrested during this encounter, where he resisted arrest and allegedly punched an officer in the head. But within hours, Howard was released without bail from the Multnomah County jail. He returned to a snap night riot outside the courthouse that was organized by Antifa.
“F— the United States!” Antifa try to break into the federal courthouse in Portland. Federal officials just removed the barricades protecting the building after months of #antifa attacks on the building. Now they’re back again. #PortlandRiots

Howard’s online social media presence shows he is affiliated with Antifa. He formerly used the moniker “Kapt Mao,” and his frequently-used avatar was of an Antifa logo. He is a member of RASH — Red and Anarchist Skinheads — an Antifa fighting group with a presence in the Portland-area. Howard told court officials he’s been homeless for the past month and in Portland just over two weeks, The Oregonian reported.
At Wells Fargo, the protesters occupied the lobby before causing damage to property. Howard was caught on security footage allegedly smashing a television and kicking the automatic sliding door.
A man wearing similar clothing to Howard earlier in the day was recorded smashing the building with a scooter.

The mob then made their way to the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse, where they tried to break into the lobby. The federal courthouse was the site of weeks of mass rioting in summer 2020 when Black Lives Matter-Antifa extremists tried to burn down the building. A heavy-duty security barrier was erected around the property and stood for more than eight months before being dismantled this week. But that proved to be premature as rioters immediately targeted the courthouse again.

Undeterred by the previous night’s violence, Antifa is planning “retaliatory action” in Portland tonight in the form of a riot. The neighborhood association near the planned riot has sent out a flyer warning the community to stay indoors after 7 pm.
.@DAMikeSchmidt has released another statement ahead of potential violence tonight in Portland. #Antifa released flyers days ago promoting a black bloc "direct action" in the Pearl District, where there are homes & businesses. The neighborhood was recently attacked by antifa. pic.twitter.com/ug8jE78Avr

Meanwhile, our TSA is targeting innocent Americans like Pressley Stubbs, who dared to stand on the steps of the Capitol building to protest the certification of the electoral votes on January 6th.
What the heck is going on in our upside-down country right now—where right has become wrong and wrong has somehow become right?
