"The Portland Riots, in their 58th night, are the longest-running civil disturbance in United States history. About a week ago I noticed that while the mainstream media wasn’t covering the riots the Portland Police were live-tweeting and live-streaming them almost like a nightly reality program. I decided to name it Portlandia Nights and began writing a synopsis each morning – this is my eighth synopsis and the 58th episode of America’s favorite reality program. I’m not sure how much longer I’ll continue to write these because honestly, every night is the same so I’m calling this episode “Groundhog Day”."

"The previous night new fencing had been installed around the federal buildings that proved very difficult to breach or topple. Realizing that it was unlikely they would breach the fence very quickly the protesters divided the task of attacking the fence and attacking the building into two groups. The first group began using grinders and cutters in an attempt to disassemble the fence in certain areas. The second group began throwing bags full of garbage between the fence and the federal buildings setting them on fire. They also threw rocks, bottles, and other projectiles at the building. Earlier in the day, a judge issued a temporary restraining order against the federal police preventing them from arresting the press. Interestingly lots of the protesters seemed to have joined the press soon after his ruling."
