Portland OR Protests/Riots 11-12-16

a reply to: Darkphoenix77

Despite my thoughts on the reasoning, they do have the right until they break the law, which they are doing now.

So all the protests share that in common then and that they are in blue states. Michigan is the exception as it hasn't been fully counted yet.

While I don't disagree, they have a right to protests. The ones this year however have highlighted the flaws in the critical thinking skills of the protesters. They are oblivious.

I agree.....but as I have said in previous threads just because they have the right does not mean they should exercise it.....especially over something this foolish.

Just the way they're taunting the cops too. Man. Talk about poking the bear.
And after watching the feed, I see very few older people, the majority look to be under the age of 30.

Guy was lighting off a Roman candle. Illegal, yes. But it could be mistaken for gunfire and might make the already nervous itchy trigger finger cops react.

They were doing the same last night.

You mean having a campus nearby?

My idiot 24 year old is there marching.

I will NOT bail him out!

Bad parent! I mean great parent! Is he aware he's breaking the law lol?

Has he expressed what he is trying to accomplish?

Awesome. Looking forward to an actual on the ground update, thank you Abysha!

Ps. Still waiting for an explanation in that other thread.

That's IF they can even get downtown. Hopefully the drunken protest buzz has worn off and these kids will just go home. I wonder if PPD will start issuing a curfew for downtown.

a reply to: rollanotherone

Yes.

a reply to: rollanotherone

There is still plenty. I believe it wound down around 1am local time yesterday morning.

They're really only a couple of blocks from the jail too. It's almost like the police line is herding them that way.

Honestly the media is a real part of this problem as well.....if the idiots would stop covering it and they stopped getting attention for the hissy fit they would probably stop crying and tossing the toys out of the pram sooner.

a reply to: JinMI

He doesn't have a clue!

To be brutally honest?

A cute red-head he's dating is doing it and he's just after tail.

Idiot.

a reply to: DBCowboy

Well at least he has good taste! Hope he gets out just fine but hey some of these kids need a night in jail to have some time to reflect.

a reply to: Darkphoenix77

They are responsible from the ground up. This is their lifeblood now.

Last winter it was rather warmer in the North. I'm not one of these "warming" people either BTW! If the warm trend holds this winter, we may see this $0R0$ protesting continue. I live in Montana, and it's middle of November-and the heater still hasn't kicked on tonight! That means it could go throughout the winter. I say we 'drone 'ol $0R0$ to death!

He as a Bernie supporter, voted for Hillary and has been raging against "Cheeto Hitler" since the election.

It didn't stop him from borrowing 100 bucks so he could go into town and exercise his 1st amendment rights and try to get laid.

a reply to: InFriNiTee

Lucky you. It's freezing 34 here. That's why the kids are doing their protests at noon sunday!

a reply to: DBCowboy

Wow, he played right into the stereotype DB. My GF's 17 year old is the same way. Shes flirting with the idea of going to the protests here on Sunday.
