As a part of President Trump’s executive order allowing federal officers to patrol cities in the wake of protesting, Portland has been consumed with unrest and violent government overreach. Protesters have been tear-gassed, assaulted, shot, and most recently it was reported that they were being removed from the streets in unmarked vehicles. It seems area moms have had enough and decided to step in to help protect the protesters.
The protests began in the city in the days following the murder of George Floyd and, though growing smaller, have not stopped in the past 50 days. And though these demonstrations would be described as peaceful protests - and not “riots” as the president likes to label them as - clashes between law enforcement officers and protesters, however, have become more violent. Coverage of the city’s unrest found its way to the Trump administration and the president vowed to “dominate” the city. Showing up in force last night, area moms have had enough.
In Portland, the federal courthouse is surrounded by a fence to keep protestors out. Preschool teacher Lindsey Smith shared a series of videos from the site yesterday and tweeted that protestors risk violence if they go anywhere near the fence. “Touching fences has resulted in tear gas, shooting, arrests, and more from police, both federal and local, over the past month and a half,” Smith tweeted. She then shared another video showing a line of moms arm-in-arm around the protestors, writing in part, “The moms are chanting, ‘Feds stay clear! Moms are here!’ at the federal courthouse. All three fences are still up.”

“peaceful”
These aren’t moms, they’re muthas.
Cool, more people to pepper spray, then arrest.
Whoa. Just out of curiosity, how many people wanted to applaud the moms before you read the story?
I need some supporting evidence to prove that *protesters* are being “shot” and “tear-gassed”.
Sorry but these women are combatants and should be treated as such.
BS like “its for the children” and “Moms for whatever” just dont cut it anymore.
There you go. You want to know where these ungrateful, stupid, over-pampered, over-indulged, snot-nosed brats came from?
I plead guilty. Then I read the article. What a deceptive propaganda hit piece. Should we expect anything different from Yahoo?
Useful idiots being used. When things turn ugly we will see how brave these ignorant loudmouths are.
all of us thats just how Yahoo operates, lke a bunch of Yahoos
Are the moms going to pay for all the damages their $hitty brats did?
I hope BORTAC punches them in the face, and still grabs the rioters. Then takes them to the helicopter.
Ma Barker was a mom too.
Me for one I was heartened at first.
I don’t put a lot of faith in YAHOO news.
The same “protesters” that lit up a federal building on fire and then locking the doors so people could not get out.
Yes, those “protesters”.
The stinking, fetid lies in this piece of trash article from Yahoo.
Antifa wearing skirts rather than all black. Same people.
So... arrest the moms.
Are we supposed to feel bad that Antifa had their mommies come to save them?
