ThrbSenator from Roseburg is here. He says we have every right to be in that building, and that refusing to allow the crowd in is treason. It is against God and country "Anyone who says otherwise is an elitist and a tyrant!" "Than let us in!" Someone yells

Someone suggests we arrest everyone inside. The senator tells the people to vote the Dems out

Chandler Pappas takes the megaphone as the senator disappears somewhere. "This is America! No one tells us what we can and cannot do!" "Get a rope!!" Someone shouts

Chandler Pappas: "Are you here to listen to this guy talk or to make a difference?!" Cheers "Lets go in!!!" The crowd evades the hallway, which has finally reached a tolerable level of spiciness

1,220

We've been in here for a hot second. Luckily for the troopers they are protected by the one thing the far right loves more than anything: glass windows Massive numbers of troopers behind the door. Pappas waa kicking the doors earlier but things have calmed down slightly

Door opened a crack and some kind of conversation ensued. People now pounding the walls and chanting "Let us in!!"

1,110

Someone is yelling about how they have no money and no jobs and look when they're right they're right Shit is intolerable right now. Everyone is suffering. This is what happens when a government abandons the people

338

Talk turning to revolution. Abolishing a government that no longer serve the people. Door still cracked. A call for everyone with gas masks to go to the front "Consider this a warning. Next time we aren't gonna be so nice and we ain't playing" Pappas says

"we are all Americans! We all deserve freedom!" Joey Gibson yells repeatedly "We aren't all the same now, Joey!" Someone calls for Kate Brown to stop human trafficking. Someone else decries the government's focus on curbside pickup of liquor rather than catching pedophiles

They are now singing the National Anthem

1,115

As soon as the anthem finished the crowd starts chanting USA and swarms the door. Pappas finally pries it open and the police immediately respond with pepper balls. The wimpy ones that smell like baby powder. I don't even feel the need to leave

Always interesting to see who runs and who says when the munitions come out It's a standoff now. Chand: "enemies of the state!"

1,153

"We went to Back the Blue Rallies for 8 months and this is what we get!?" Someone is learning that the police are tools of the state The crowd hates the cops as much as any leftist right now

"you're heaving birthday parties while you shut us down!" It's important to understand that they rage is real, and that some of it is extremely legit. There's desperation and fear here because people have no way to survive

185

Chant: "Arrest Kate Brown!!" Door still open. Cops in a mini line just inside, several rows deep They sure are showing a lot of restraint. Could easily fill the corridor with mace right now. Of course they aren't

1,617

Someone is changing "this is what democracy looks like," I can't get away from my least favorite chant no matter where I go I've said it before: protests are what it looks like when democracy fails

265

The police are fine with the current state of affairs. Everyone shouting at them. Shouting is fine. They can stand there and get shouted at all day. As long as no one charges, they get to chill and collect their checks

1,450

The fire alarm is now going off and people flee en masse for reasons that confuse me

1,332

People drifting back now. I guess the revolution won't be deferred by a loud and startling noise after all

2,110

The hallway is packed again. The police are threatening to declare this an unlawful assembly, which, can you imagine the police politely telling a leftist that? Shit Anyway, not declared yet

248

2,897

The cops said someone would address the crowd if it went back outside and the crowd very sensibly pointed out they could address us right here

1,266

There is a guy with a fucking bullwhip hand to God, I will post pics later Kinky

Someone just pointed out that the police don't have bodycams. "That means they can do whatever the fuck they want! We've been trying to tell you assholes that for years

They've found a ladder and placed jr longways on front of the door Still not an unlawful assembly. Obviously They're reciting the pledge of allegiance now

1,234

The far right protesters keep saying this is how Nazi Germany started and they're right but not in the way they mean

4,523

There's a service dog in here doing his best and I wish he wasn't here

2,554

A call to take a knee and pray. The crowd is...reluctant It doesn't happen

1,186

Just noticed the cops are wearing gas masks. It's been a while, let's do this

1,310

Joey Gibson comes in from outside--interesting that he was one of the people who fled He tells us an unlawful assembly has been declared and if we stay inside we are likely to be arrested He says we have to make a choice He tells us to resist peacefully Then he leaves again
