A homeless man from Portland, Oregon, is being praised for donating all of his money to the Oregon Historical Society after protesters smashed in the building’s windows during a protest-turned-riot.

On Oct. 11, a Portland protest turned into a riot in which demonstrators toppled statues of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt in protest of Columbus Day and in support of Indigenous People’s Day.
