Despite pleas to cancel and concerns about violence, numerous political demonstrations are planned in downtown Portland this weekend.
On Sunday, four separate demonstrations – either simultaneously or within a few hours of each other – are planned within blocks near City Hall and adjacent parks.This is going to be Berkeley round 2. There is a quote at the end at the article that interests me.- A pro-Trump free speech rally is expected to draw about 400 protesters Sunday, according to RSVPs on social media. The rally is scheduled from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Terry Schrunk Plaza.
- More than 1,000 people indicated on Facebook they plan to attend a counter-protest to the Trump rally. It is organized by more than 30 immigrant rights, mental health and religious groups and is scheduled from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Portland City Hall.
- About 400 said they were going to another counter-protest organized by local anti-fascist groups, scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. at Chapman Square.
- About 70 said they were going to a gathering planned by labor groups also opposing the pro-Trump rally, scheduled from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Terry Schrunk Plaza.
And a Saturday demonstration, "March for Truth PDX" will call for an "impartial investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election," according to a Facebook event. The march is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Terry Schrunk Plaza.
The Sunday demonstrations have raised the most concerns about potential clashes.
If a group like ANTIFA shows up I guarantee this place will become a warzone.Cari Luna, the chair for Portland Democratic Socialists of America, said organizers are "100 percent committed to a non-violent rally." The group is one of several co-sponsors for the event.
The organizers met with Portland police and Wheeler to discuss keeping the rally peaceful, Luna said. The demonstrators will not confront the right-wing protesters and police will provide a buffer between the two groups, Luna said. Peacekeepers trained in de-escalation tactics will also be present, Luna said.
However, Luna said she can't guarantee what the large number of people in attendance may do.
"Large groups of people are unpredictable," Luna said.

Well, this should be a "fun" event to attend. The two extreme sides of America's political spectrum put on display for everyone to watch.

A pro-Trump rally in Portland? They are just looking for a fight.

Some Portlandia guy on CNN said this is nothing special. Portland has had bad undertones for decades, people just prefer to ignore it apparently.

Can't wait to see people get run over legally, now that we've come to our senses about letting protestors inhibit other people's lives.
There's no such thing as too much freedom, but here the freedom of the commute is greater than the freedom of the person who isn't contributing to society at all for the day.

The point of a protest is to force people to hear your opinion. Originally Posted by Hubcap

I wonder if more can be arrested and imprisoned.
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.
