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!"

Wall of Mams.
What a bunch of twisted sisters.
No conception of truth, law and order.
West Coast Wackos.
Well if they keep the thugs from attacking the officers and/or destroying federal property, there is no reason for the officers to respond.
Oregon I believe ranks number one or two in the country for illicit drug use.
And when the first brick flies they are all fair game for the tear gas and rubber bullets.
The older ones are probably old commies from the CPUSA, SWP, or Democratic Socialists of America. The younger protestors are just Marxist-wannabees who escaped from their basement closets.
If they are violent, shoot them. The law does not discriminate by age for rioters, looters, terrorists, or traitors.
Shoot em.
#17. Khampong Cham, middle of Cambodia, Jan. 1970, the gov. In Tam did “shoot half a dozen of these “moms” and the riots” did end all over the country. Only his men killed rioters by the dozens. It worked.
He told me so over dinner.
I suppose that being ‘sent out into the cornfield ‘ would be the equivalent of the cancel culture.
It looks more like a wall of aunts. Well, three out of four is a C.
