KOIN reports that a fire at Reo’s Ribs in Portland in late November was started by an arsonist. The restaurant wasn’t damaged, but the building next door was. Andy Ngo reports that the owner had been critical of the vandalism in Portland which he blamed on Antifa. “Just days before the most recent fire, a family member at Reo’s Ribs told KOIN 6 News that when he came into work he was able see the protest-related damage in the neighborhood.” Co-owner Myra Girod told KOIN she’s glad to “know that it isn’t racially motivated or hate motivated,” but it certainly seems hate-motivated. Authorities say they have someone they’d like to question.
Anyway, here’s the video:
A Portland restaurant owner critical of antifa’s mass vandalism on Sandy Blvd. had his business burned down shortly after making the comments. Now investigators are saying the fire was an arson attack. This is the surveillance video: pic.twitter.com/4sgOdbL3GO

Looks fiery but mostly peaceful.
Mostly peaceful arson.

Even with the blurred face, it was exactly who I thought it would be.

Judging from her comfortable middle class appearance, frazzled hair and festive sweater, I'd probably start cross-referencing teachers and admin rosters from local public schools.

A white girl with dreadlocks. Big surprise.

That is a VERY distinctive sweater. Surely someone knows to whom it belongs!

They don't even bother to try hiding who they are.. They know nothing will be done to them. This is a sad state of affairs.

Sounds like they've identified the person in the video. Now it's just a matter of time. Kudos to law enforcement. https://t.co/tQHG1cfj1D

I’m surprised it wasn’t designated as a peaceful protesting incident.

At least she closed the gate back up ?

That’s Portland. Just checking in on nearby Seattle we can see what activists have been up to at Cal Anderson Park, former site of CHAZ/CHOP. Looking good, Seattle.
TRASHED: Here’s another entrance at Cal Anderson Park. Saw people dropping off wooden pallets in pick up trucks. Clearly building make shift wall to keep city crews out during Wednesday’s planned sweep. #seattle #CapitolHill #CalAndersonPark pic.twitter.com/qmfd2bNJyt
