Local authorities say businesses were targeted along Hawthorne Boulevard. One storefront in particular, New Seasons Market, was displaying signage showing support for Black Lives Matter.

The groups went on to attack multiple financial institutions including Chase, Wells Fargo, and Umpqua Bank.

Independent Media PDX also tweeted photos showing the destruction of multiple businesses along Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland.

A local Antifa group called for a Thanksgiving Eve attack on “symbols and structures of colonialism and capitalism.” PNY Youth Liberation Front, a group described as an Antifa group by independent journalist Andy Ngo, tweeted a call for a “decentralized anti-colonial day of action” on Thanksgiving Eve. The message began, “F**k Thanksgiving, f**k Black Friday!”

Officers cited and released another person on a weapons charge after finding them in possession of a semi-automatic pistol. Police officers also cited and released a juvenile for “crimes related to property damage.”
