Women in Portland [Ore.] form "Wall of Moms" to protect protesters from federal officers

A group of women banded together to form a human wall to protect protesters from federal officers in Portland over the weekend. There have been 52 days and nights of protests since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which have turned violent after federal authorities have been sent in earlier this month.

After a Facebook post called for mothers to make a "Wall of Moms," dozens wearing white and helmets attended Saturday. They stood arm-in-arm with each other, forming a barrier between federal agents and demonstrators. The gathering came after a report that federal officials from a number of agencies have been driving around and detaining people.

"We moms are often underestimated," organizer Bev Barnum said in the event page. "But we're stronger than we're given credit for."

One woman who participated with the moms called the actions of federal officers "terrifying."

"We as a democracy - we need to stand up," she told Reuters. "I'm 60 years old. I probably shouldn't be here in public, but this is beyond acceptable." Videos of the event show them chanting, "The feds stay clear, the moms are here!"

The “Wall of Moms” looks more like the “Line of Lesbians.”

Right. I’ll just bet they’re all moms. I see pretty much nothing but militant feminazis there.

I stay up late reading a couple of people on Twitter who are down there reporting...AndyNgo is the main one. Apparently last night after the moms went home the desecration of everything in antifa’s path resumed.

Typical. Mom leaves and the kids trash the house.

Stop killing black people. Shoot half a dozen of these “moms” and the riots will end allover the country.
