Joke answer: someone thought “Branford Price Millar Library” was a dumb name
Real answer: one facet of Portland being such a melting pot is that it contains some of the dumbest people
Clearly these are not humanitarians, progressives or even true anarchists. Someone who wanted to enact change in keeping with their stated message would not vandalize a library. People who use libraries are aware of the issue. Heard of preaching to the choir? This was just a group of assholes being assholes.
Tax money funding military expenses always includes stuff like this. It’s just getting more coverage now.
