#2,279 - Antifa absolutely destroys Portland State Library in the name of ’Revolution”

Paint splattered on floors. Spray-painted messages and screeds covering walls. Furniture moved and overturned. Security cameras disabled. Fire extinguishers missing and entrances blocked by stacks of chairs.

“We’ve got our work cut out for us,” a facilities manager at Portland State University said Thursday as he examined the destruction left behind after a three-day occupation by pro-Palestinian protesters in Millar Library.

Police removed occupiers that morning and arrested 12, including four students, as they swept the five-story building. They made more arrests throughout the day as people congregated in and around the downtown campus.

Police allowed The Oregonian/OregonLive inside the library after they cleared it and said it appeared most of the occupation was on the library’s first three floors.
