On the day Yelp introduced a new “racist behavior” wokeness rating, antifa and Black Lives Matter activists in Portland were seen on Twitter soliciting names of “non-friendly” businesses that support police, singling them out as targets. By Sunday’s pre-planned “Day of Rage,” rioters had trashed one of the explicit targets, a black-owned downtown Portland cafe.
Portland antifa watcher Andy Ngo showed screenshots of the tweets calling for retribution against the Heroes American Cafe, owned by John Jackson.
……One antifa-associated Twitter account responded, “Heroe’s American Cafe on S Park blocks gives profits to their heroes ….. cops [sic]”
Ngo noted that not only did antifa and BLM militants bash the windows of the cafe, but shot it up.
……As I previously reported on PJ Media, at least one Instagram account has been set up to receive random, unconfirmed complaints about the wokeness of local restaurants. This could be happening all over the country, as militants are encouraged to report on “business accused of racist behavior” on Yelp reviews as well as on other social media platforms.
The restaurant reviewer stasi is real.
Fox News reports that Jackson, a veteran of both the Army and Marines, won’t be intimidated.
“Two windows in the cafe’s downtown location were shot at and another was struck with a blunt object — possibly a baseball bat — said Jackson, a Black man who served in the Army and Marine Corps.
“I think it’s more psychological,” he said. “When I first came here [Portland] about 10 years ago, it was one of the most accepting cities that I knew of.”
“We’re for all heroes and we don’t support zeroes,” Jackson said. “So if you’re a bad cop, we don’t really have time for you. If you’re walking your beat and you’re taking care of your people or you’re saving lives, we love you.”
But Jackson will have the last word. Not only are people of good will planning to eat at his restaurant as never before, but he told Fox News that the attack “solidified my Trump vote. I’m done with this weakness and we need some real strong leadership.”
The common denominator between Antifa and BLM is their arbitrary violence against “racist” targets. They’re not picky about the victims of their vandalism and arson. They’ve destroyed hundreds of businesses—including black-owned companies—which pretty much destroys their “black lives matter” schtick.
