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.”

The Feds use tear gas (CS) on the antifa rioters very effectively. It makes these soap-dodger degenerates run and disperse. The Portland police are prohibited from using tear gas by the loony lefty mayor and city council.
Uh, BARF alert please. Butt, I understand it’s ‘ya-who’ so there is that.
Does anyone know how many protesting rioters there are?
The footage I see on twitter is taken at night so it is hard to see how many of them there are,
for instance when they are smashing and graffiti-ing and burning and beating interlopers and screaming obscenities.
Is its hundreds who are active each night or fewer or more?
Basement Moms to the rescue.
Protesters my a$$. Rioters.
And some people here think that women will vote Republican because the rioters scare them and the Republicans are the law and order party. No, these creatures are emotional morons that are on board with the revolution. From cradle to adulthood, they’ve been bombarded with Marxist thought and told by the media and Hollywood that they are special due to “girl power”. And now we have social media where they banish all dissenters and spend their time trying to one up each other on how progressive they can be.
The mommys who turned their little brats into twinkie terrorists now trying to save them from their own actions?
How special.
When they start a war in the streets, mommy saves them
Just another tactic used by the mob.
Just like these people used a toddler to protect the rioters: Click
The Stupid just keeps on burning.
Don’t think the Snowflakes need Momma’s help if they’re not breaking the law. Haul ‘em all in, including Momma.
Are these trans-sexual Muvas? Or real mothers? As in from the Portland suburbs who raised little trans-Johnny to be a non-binary antifa rioter.
“Touching fences has resulted in tear gas, shooting, arrests, and more from police, both federal and local, over the past month and a half,”<<
Have the police been shooting people?

Why aren’t they taking care of their kids?
Yep, I did. I scrolled through some comments and most of them were reasonable. I wonder if some of these moms were paid to do this?
These aren’t ‘moms’, they’re leftist radicals, and I doubt any of their kids made to to full term.
I hope they brought the meat loaf.
I misread the headline and first thought the moms were protecting freedom and defending the city from the marxists and communists.
Boy, did I misread that!
And peaceful protests; so now Portland has buildings that can set themselves on fire. How 21st century of them!
These women, and millions more like them, have no idea how they’re being used by the Left.
