Women in Portland [Ore.] form "Wall of Moms" to protect protesters from federal officers
CBS News ^ | 7/20/2020 | Christopher Brito

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!"

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.

Yeah, because they were so peaceful before that.

Is no one on the left smart enough to know when their intelligence (I use that word loosely) is being insulted?

That’s harsh, but I basically agree. The biggest group of voters driving us toward socialism is female. I would be perfectly happy to return to a system where only those who own property are allowed to vote, with other qualifiers such as military service and other genuine public service. Those who receive money from the government, particularly welfare, would be given the option of continuing to receive that welfare with the proviso that they forever forfeit the vote, or cancelling the money train and having the opportunity to vote due to either service or ownership of property.

Hypocrites! These same fools eagerly support aborting alive sensing black babies in the womb. Damned hypocrites.

Pull out of Portland, feds. Remove everything from the post office to the Portland MEPS and leave that POS liberal hot mess to its own devices.

The weak link.

A thousand years ago women understood the threat from barbarians. Now they welcome them with open arms.

I think the Feds are doing this wrong.

Don’t take them on the streets where hundreds, maybe thousands are watching and recording.

Follow the leaders home, take them quietly while they sleep, send them to Guantanamo. Put them in a cell with a mean jihadi.

It’s like a gaggle of soccer moms watching their kids play in a match.

what the ‘moms’ should have done with the children trying to damage people’s eyes with green lazers, slingshotting be-bees at officers, lobbing fireworks at officers, arson, causing seizures with strobes, tearing down private fencing and enabling vandalism:

what the ‘moms’ did instead? A can-can dance:

what the moms think they looked like:

Let’s hope the DADs do better tonite. Their sons want them to bring leaf blowers and hockey sticks. Maybe they’ll bring a boot to put up their delinquent spawn’s butt.

I am really starting to believe maybe Muslims do have it right regarding women.

It’s only going to get worse. Women are off the deep end.

Yeah there are some conservative ones but not enough.

Right, CBS, they were peaceful until the feds showed up.

Exactly!

My first thought was, “Who did Big Bird on the end?”
