BERKELEY, Calif. — Chanting “Not my president,” several hundred protesters streamed through the streets of Berkeley and Oakland in the predawn hours of Wednesday venting their anger at the election of Donald J. Trump as president. Demonstrations were also reported in Pittsburgh, Seattle and Portland, Ore.
The California Highway Patrol said that one protester, who was not identified, sustained major injuries after being hit by a car when protesters attempted to move onto a freeway.
The demonstration was one of the first visible signs of anger in the liberal and heavily Democratic San Francisco Bay Area after Mr. Trump’s surprising victory.
From Pennsylvania to California, Oregon and Washington State, hundreds of people hit the streets, according to reports by local news media and The Associated Press. In Oregon, dozens of people blocked traffic in downtown Portland and forced a delay for trains on two light rail lines. The crowd grew to about 300 people, according to local reports, including some who sat in the middle of the road to block traffic. The crowd of anti-Trump protesters burned American flags and chanted “That’s not my president.”
In Seattle, a group of about 100 protesters gathered in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, blocked roads and set a trash bin on fire....

“dozens of people blocked traffic in downtown Portland and forced a delay for trains on two light rail lines”
Well that will teach people in a city and state that didn’t vote for him.....some sort of lesson?
Not their president? No problem. “Attention passengers, Flight 666 now boarding for Havana, continuing service to Caracas...”
Yeah, we're not putting up with this crap anymore. Those days are over,
In the editor’s office: Yippee two or three malcontents - QUICK LET’S FAN THE FLAMES.
Snowflakes don’t just melt and run away?
This makes winning even more fun that it already is!
I’ll bet half of them didn’t even vote.
Don’t play with Trump, ‘cause you’re playing with fire.
“That’s not my president.”
OK, leave. I hear the welfare is great in the middle east.
Trump cookie anyone?
I am guessing they are opposed to any good policy pursuit, so that we can all be unemployed and make us blame Trump, selfish ÷_÷£=_÷&!
What did Obama say? Oh yeah “we won. republicans get to sit in the back of the bus”
The race-baiting began on day one.
Democrats lost. They need to accept it.
They get paid more if they start a fight.
