NAACP president on Portland protests: A 'spectacle' taking attention away from BLM movement(Oregon)
kgtv.com ^ | 07/24/2020 | FOX 12 Staff

Posted on 07/24/2020 7:34:12 PM PDT by devane617

Unfortunately, “spectacle” is now the best way to describe Portland’s protests. Vandalizing government buildings and hurling projectiles at law enforcement draw attention — but how do these actions stop police from killing black people? What are antifa and other leftist agitators achieving for the cause of black equality? The “Wall of Moms,” while perhaps well-intentioned, ends up redirecting attention away from the urgent issue of murdered black bodies.

The NAACP is upset with all the white folks in Portland protesting and taking away the focus.

The pile of bodies in Chicongo has nothing to do with police brutality.

I wish Portland would erect stadium seating around the protest area so spectators could watch the nightly action. I’d watch it.

...which is also being ignored by the NAACP and BLM unless the assailant just happens to be white and not an abortionist.

Commies aren't all that interested in black people. They just used the Floyd death to introduced the peaceful riots, destruction, assault, and arson.

I recognize a lot of the so-called “moms” as the same antifa women who dressed in black as recent as a couple days ago. They just put on a yellow shirt now for optics. Most of these people aren’t mothers & many don’t even identify as female. #PortlandRiots

wonder if any of the “Wall of Moms” were from “climate” groups, including Sunrise Movement.

following has multiple pics of Wall of Moms Portland; 1000 Grandmothers is a “climate” group:

15 Jul: 1000 Grandmothers Bay Area
From the Sunrise Movement-
“Throughout this election cycle, our generation has relentlessly pressured the Democratic establishment to grasp the existential urgency of the climate crisis. Today, Joe Biden released an updated plan to tackle the climate crisis & our current economic crisis with the Green New Deal movement’s fingerprints all over it.
New commitments include: ETC

It’s no secret that we’ve been critical of Vice President’s Biden’s plans and commitments in the past. Today, he’s responded to many of those criticisms: dramatically increasing the scale and urgency of investments, filling in details on how he’d achieve environmental justice and create good union jobs, and promising immediate action — on day 1, in his first 100 days, in his first term, in the next decade — not just some far off goals.
Our movement made this possible, but there’s more work to do, and the urgency of the crisis demands that we keep pushing...
Babies are being born into an increasingly uncertain world. Folks can’t breathe.
So roll up your sleeves, and let’s keep pushing.

20 Jul: Facebook: Women’s March Chico
from Women’s March
Wall of Moms is showing the entire nation just how powerful women can be. We must all use our power to rise up against this administration’s fascist tactics.
UPDATE:
A group of women of wearing yellow linked arms to form a protective “wall of moms” around Black Lives Matter protesters in Portland, Oregon on Sunday as unidentifiable federal agents refused to disperse...

Sunday’s protests began with a rally by a group called Moms Against Police Brutality, said Davis, the freelance journalist. Some members of the group, who are self-described as the Wall of Moms on social media, had been out at protests the previous night as well...

The Moms are a group of women of various ages, ***mostly white, and some grandmothers...

“Are you not entertained?”

I would only be entertained once they start shooting the terrorists who have lasers, and the good guys outnumber the bad by about 3:1.
Although that would be over in 10 minutes,

The marxists are in charge now. As their graffiti says, “Liberals get a bullet too” signed with a hammer and sickle.
