D-baggers at their finest. The democratic party needs to own this. By not condemning the violence, they condone it. It's like this is the new face of the democratic party.

Police declared a riot in the northwest US city of Portland after "anarchists" threw rocks, smoke bombs and soda cans at officers during a May Day rally, while thousands more marched in other major cities.

At least three people were arrested. Several businesses in Portland's downtown area were also vandalized by groups of people wearing black masks who were seen breaking storefront windows, throwing incendiary devices and attacking a police vehicle.

The violence prompted authorities to cancel the permit for the march and warn that anyone remaining on the streets risked being arrested. People were advised to stay away from the area.

"Due to actions of anarchists in #MayDayPDX march, permit was cancelled. Law-abiding participants asked to use sidewalks and leave the area," the Portland police said in a tweet
