There is no evidence that anyone used quick-drying cement.

This was from a journalist who was at the Portland riot.

What do we see in this picture?

Buckets and pitcher being used to fill cups. Some one circled a bucket with a red line. The word CEMENT in impact font has been put on the picture. A red line goes from the impact font word to the red line circle around the bucket.

While Impact is a great font, I'm not prepared to take it at font value.

Let's do some half-assed investigations!

What do we see here that def puts it in Portland during the Patriot Prayer/Proud Boy/Him Too march?

Nothing. BUT those cups seem likely. Those look like the cups that the twitter account for PopMob tweeted pictures of on the day of the protest.

Okay, I'm willing to accept that this picture was taken in Portland, at the right time.

The earliest use of this picture that I could find was from Shane Burley. The time stamp is 2 PM June 29. You can view it here: https://twitter.com/shane_burley1/status/1145046706175610880

He says that it's his picture and there was no quick dry cement present or being used.

PopMob has denied using quick dry cement on twitter and when in contact with local journalists.

Noted Pizza Gate Nutjob Jack Posobiec tweeted that picture on June 30th after midnight asking if this was quick dry cement being used. You can view it here: https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1145196089815044096

the low resolution that imgflip forces pictures to makes it hard to view. The twitter accounts have better resolutions and the Daily Dot has a much larger version too.

Let's look at those buckets.

Square. White.

I own my house, so I've had to mess around with quick dry cement from time to time. It usually comes in a bag. Shit ain't light either. I've seen it in buckets but not the 5 gallon square buckets. Just the smaller round buckets.

BUT If that's a brand of quick dry, it should be easy to find.

Checking Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware....no square buckets of any color for any brand of quick drying cement.

Okay. What else could they be?

Well, kitty litter comes in buckets like that.

The buckets are square. Some of them are even white.

A quick search on the internets confirms square buckets. most of them are yellow. I found 1 brand of white square kitty litter. BUT yellow was a brand color so it's all over the stickers of the bucket.

The buckets in the picture don't have any yellow.

Also, no one has claimed to have been hit by a kitty litter shake.

But what else uses white square 5 gallon buckets?

Food prep. Doomsday food prep. Bulk food for restaurants comes in buckets like that.

Checking the internets...On Amazon there are hinged lid white square 5 gallon buckets for sale. They even have the same warning label clearly visible in the picture.

Great. We've confirmed generic white buckets used for a variety of purposes.

Telling us...nothing.

The young woman in the picture is holding a bucket with something in it? But the way she's holding it, it's not heavy. I can assure you, you won't be holding a bucket of quick lime cement lightly in one hand.

Now. So, we have nothing that shows us that it's cement. Back to those cups.

Many people said they got a soy vegan "milk" shake and drank it. If you drank some cement, I'm pretty sure you'd end up at the ER with some sort of problem pretty quickly.

There have been no reports of people showing up that the ER with a gut full of sprinkle cement shakes, vegan or otherwise.

There doesn't appear to be any organization or separation to those cups. So, how would you be able to tell which ones had cement and which ones were just regular shakes?

Quick Dry lives up to its name. It sets in like 20 minutes. So you'd have to know which ones were which otherwise you're gonna end up with a bunch of cement in some cups. So you'd have to be mixing it on the spot for almost immediate deployment.

I don't see any bags. No one has shown up with cement filled cups.

So the contents of those cups is likely the same. consumable vegan soy "milk"shakes with sprinkles.

We have no evidence of cement being used in the prep.

No one has shown up at an ER with "chemical burns", gut bombs, or even cement having hardened in their hair.

The Portland Police are actively investigating this. No one has come forward. No evidence has been found.

There were no cement shakes.

At all.

How do you even begin to defend these lowlifes?

First, the bucket is round not square. Next, it has a warning label on the side. I don't know many soy milk containers with warning labels. (Though they should put a warning on soy milk, it is disgusting)

While I can not make out the label and therefore can not confirm that it is cement, the Portland Police did report they suspected it was. Andy Ngo also reported that whatever was thrown at him did burn his skin.

Next, it appears that throwing milkshakes at people is the least of the violence. These punks were videoed hitting unarmed people with crowbars and clubs which is worst.

Lastly, it really doesn't matter if it was or not. These cowards assaulted numerous people. These fascist Antifa scumbags need to be prosecuted and jailed, and Antifa needs to be designated a terrorist group by all law-enforcement, not just the DOJ.

The compression that Imgflip does to pictures makes it very hard to make out details. The twitter links I provided have higher resolution versions and the bucket is much easier to see. It's square.

The portland police did not report they suspected it was a cement mix.

They put out a tweet saying it had been reported to them that the shakes contained cement. They asked for anyone to come forward who had evidence.

Here is their tweet: https://twitter.com/PortlandPolice/status/1145106839618502656

Here is the text of their tweet: Police have received information that some of the milkshakes thrown today during the demonstration contained quick-drying cement. We are encouraging anyone hit with a substance today to report it to police.

Later reporting has shown that they received an email claiming that "they were mixing in cement" to the "milkshakes". The police asked for anyone with evidence to come forward.

No one has come forward.

No one has been treated for "chemical burns"

There were no cement shakes.

No matter how much you defend them, the Antifa punks are still scumbags and should be hunted down and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
