An anonymous person reportedly\u00a0affiliated with Antifa\u00a0has claimed responsibility for a recent fire at a bank in Portland, Oregon, as retaliation for the recent arrests of five alleged domestic terrorists in Atlanta.
\nA two-alarm fire broke out at the Bank of America branch on Southeast 37th Avenue and Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland at 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 31,\u00a0according to local KGW8.
\nNo injuries were reported at the scene and the Portland Fire Investigations Unit is still investigating the cause of the fire, but Portland police confirmed that it is being investigated as arson, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

An anonymous person with apparent ties to Antifa subsequently assumed responsibility for the incident, as reported by journalist Andy Ngo.
\n“Last night I broke into a Bank of America in Portland, Oregon and started a large fire. According to news reports, the fire grew quickly and took firefighters more than an hour to extinguish,” read the individual’s statement, which was posted to the blog\u00a0Abolition Media.

\n“I attack for revenge against capital for the hell it creates, to break the illusion of police control that usually protects it, and just because I can,” the statement continued.
\n“Bank of America funds the\u00a0Atlanta Police Foundation\u00a0and a thousand other projects of control. Earlier that day, the six friends in Atlanta charged with ‘domestic terrorism’ were released from jail. May this fire bring them some warmth in winter,” the post added.

\n“Long live anarchy!” the post concluded.
\nThe\u00a0Portland Police Bureau\u00a0told Fox News Digital that investigators “are considering any and all potential evidence \u00a0as they pursue the suspect or suspects in the recent bank arson that caused significant damage to the building.”
\nThe post on Abolition Media noted the anonymous communiqu\u00e9 was first posted on “Scenes from the Atlanta Forest,” a blog referring to left-wing resistance against the future site of a police training center in the woods outside Atlanta.
