Thanks - just jumped to the end of the thread. I’m glad that they have been able to clear the various parks around the country without the violence that would perhaps help the protestors. I wonder if it is better police tactics or general wimpyness on the part of the protestors?
In my neck of the woods they caught some yutes speeding on the highway that had left Portland. Found some large fireworks in mason jars (explosives with shrapnel). Lots of anarchists in this area. Glad they didn’t get to use them to provoke a huge encounter. (And glad they got caught!)
I heard about that! The news called them "homemade mortars." So glad they got those guys.
