As a part of President Trumps 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 citys 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.

I would love for that to happen, but make it 3,500 instead of 35.
But we both know an action like that would create a lot of martyrs, further their revolution, and bring a lot more fence-sitters to their side. It would unfortunately affirm their claims that this is a tyrannical government opposed to the free expression of speech, that the police and military are racists, and they hate all POCs (even though the "protestors" are 98% white).
Peaceful my a$$!
The second greatest mistake was letting the communists get control of the anti-communist effort in Congress in the 1950s and smear Joe McCarthy. They got away with the “red scare” canard and they successfully smeared anybody in favor of freedom and against red tyranny. Letting them then take over education and raising generations of American communists was the end result.
Many won’t like where this leads. By then it will be too late.
Good.
In another context, this would be very funny.
What idiots.
And when the violence comes against those moms and their kids, what are they going to do?
Obstruction
Those "kids" are old enough to be serving in the mountains of Afghanistan. That they send for their mommies tells you a lot.
“...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...”
How can you describe anything violent as a “peaceful protest”??????????
Precisely. This is from Yahoo. It is not worth a second if your time.
Further proof that antifa our basement dwellers that need their mommies to help them in their revolution.
My sister and I have been discussing this for years. We truly hate to think of the USA our kids are going to inherit.
We have six kids between us: one patriotic US Marine (who, unfortunately doesn't like Trump), three fence-sitters, and two leftist kooks. They don't have a clue what's coming.
Hell, it would happen if TWO were shot. We also both know that Trump knows this. And the protesters know this. This is the corner he is backed into. Frankly, I believe it would be a better strategy for Trump to actually encourage the rioters. And once again, you can call me both crazy and wrong.
Hi.
If the “moms* take off their tops, I would be more interested in the “protest.”

The unmarked vehicle thing is a catch phrase I see in every article. It is a red herring. My vehicle has no markings and I have arrested people for years using it. State Parole. Most fed task force vehicles are not marked because of surveillance use.
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.
Is cognitive dissonance a requirement for Yahoo journalists? This one obviously majored in it.
What do you call a commie-mommie, human shield? A sounder of Soviet sows?
“would be a better strategy for Trump to actually encourage the rioters”
You are right. The next-best thing is to do the minimum possible to put down the rebellion before the election.
Trump will run a strong Law & Order campaign. He can win on this if the commies don’t force his hand before the election.
