I originally came to the Justice Center at this horrible early hour to film a short thing with @defendpdx but apparently there's a Blue Lives Matter protest here instead so that's cool
Maybe 20 of them. They really can't get numbers, and it's nicepic.twitter.com/U5JVDu3K0T

Hahaha she just said the cops would be justified if they "did a pepper spray or whatever it is they do" Sorry, this isn't hard-hitting journalism, this is shitposting and it's gonna continue that way

"See, this is what we need," the protesters tell this long-suffering black dude. "Dialogue." This is the response the right likes to give when they don't actually want to address the points brought forward by someone willing to talk to them

The police politely ask the protest to move to the sidewalk I'd forgotten what it feels like to be asked politely to do something by cops. Previous to 5/28, all my interactions with cops were like this (See: profile pic)

The counter protest and protest are now facing off across 3rd Street. And honestly, I've spent enough time amongst the chuds that I have no interest in continuing to listen to them talk about how they're driven to protect murderers by their Christianity

Taking a picture of this elk replacement and a dude named
@remibux says, that was me! He tells us he's been out here the last couple nights trying to stop the fires "It's time to rebuild," he says. "It's a metaphor"pic.twitter.com/doKq720nE5

I ask him what he thinks the goal of this protest should be. "Reparations," he says. "We're owed a lot of money. At least forty acres" "Which would have appreciated considerably," I add "Yeah," he says. " We're gonna need some interest"

Some asshole is getting run out of the park. Can't get a straight story on why. Seems he came over to provoke and it looks like he succeeded If Black Lives Matter was as dangerous as they say, a lot more chuds would get beat up. As it is, they're escorting him down 3rd St

And now he's walking back. Here's a picture. Definitely belligerent, I'm sure he'll continue to do whatever it is he's gonna do This is reminding me of the old days. Small protest, chuds vs counterprotesters Seems kinda trite nowpic.twitter.com/dwPFysCSFr
