Black Lives Matter Protesters close major street in Portland Maine
WGME tv ^

Posted on 07/15/2016 5:58:31 PM PDT by ROCKLOBSTER

A group of BLM protesters have formed a circle in the middle of the very busy "Commercial Street" in the heart of the "Old Port District".

Police have blocked off all traffic on the street, which is normally jammed to capacity with cars and pedestrians on a typical Summer weekend night.

The protesters have declared they don't care if they are arrested.

LOL. There is no major street in Portland, and closing Commerical street disrupts pretty much nothing. There are parallel routes, just as convenient and fast.

Typical Millennial generation of followers. Mostly women, the men are at home doing the chores I guess.

Commercial Street is paved with bricks over landfill. 100 years ago, it was ocean.

Well, except for the hundreds of tourist businesses on the waterfront planning to make some money tonight.

I think there are no more than 25 or 30 of them. The rest seem to be tv crews or police.

They'll do fine. The protesters haven't blocked off all of Commercial, and most people park on a different street anyway. If you were on Commercial, and ran into this, just head west one block, go a couple blocks, then go back to the waterfront.
