(Chuck Muth)<\/em> \u2013 Ford Fisher, editor-in-chief of N2S Reports, recently tweeted that Black Lives Matter\/ANTIFA prepared support packages of drinks, food, sanitation products and cigarettes for peaceful rioters in Portland who had been arrested.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI\u2019m told the few already released had charges dropped.\u201d<\/p>\n

To which Ian Miles Cheong, managing editor for Human Events, replied\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy even bother arresting rioters if they’re just gonna drop charges on all of them and let them go?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s exactly the question everyone who wants to see the end of these \u201cpeaceful riots\u201d should be asking.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, an Oregon sheriff drove that point home a couple weeks ago in rejecting Oregon Gov. Kate Brown\u2019s request that he deploy his officers to the city of Portland to help quell the #BidenRiots.<\/p>\n

Clackamas Co. Sheriff Craig Roberts wrote\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.\u00a0 That will require the DA (district attorney) to charge offenders appropriately and a decision by the Multnomah County Presiding Judge to not allow offenders released on their own recognizance, and instead require bail with conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe same offenders are arrested night after night, only to be released by the court and not charged with a crime by the DA\u2019s office.\u00a0 The next night they are back at it, endangering the lives of law enforcement and the community all over again.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to arrest people for violating some law and then just release them without consequences, what\u2019s the sense in having the law in the first place?<\/p>\n

Inquiring minds wanna know.<\/p>\n
