There is nothing sacred to criminals in Portland Oregon in 2020. It is no surprise to many who have been paying attention to events in Oregon lately to now see the unchecked and mindless destruction spread about in a county with a district attorney who has pledged to take it easy on criminals. Violent thugs have begun to attack and destroy their own community's history and monuments. Fools do such things, and ignorant criminals.

These criminals that have now toppled a soldier's monument in Portland were supposedly protesting colonialism from centuries ago.

The Portland Police Bureau is now investigating a report of a statue toppled and vandalized in Lone Fir Cemetery this week.

Lone Fir, at 649 Southeast 26th Avenue, is a property owned by Metro. A Metro representative made an online police report on Friday, November 27, 2020, and the incident is under investigation.

According to the report, the vandalism happened sometime between 4:30p.m. Wednesday, November 25, 2020 and 7:30a.m. Thursday, November 26, 2020. A statue known as The Soldiers Monument was tipped over and painted.

Metro pleaded to visitors that the area is unsafe. "We are aware of the vandalism that occurred two nights ago at Lone Fir Cemetery and are assessing the damages. The Soldiers Monument was heavily damaged and was removed yesterday for the safety of visitors."
