PORTLAND, Ore. -- A persistent crowd of protesters remained outside the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, into the early hours of Saturday as fireworks were shot at the building and plumes of tear gas, dispensed by U.S. agents, lingered above.
Thousands of people gathered in Portland streets hours after a U.S. judge denied Oregons request to restrict federal agents actions when they arrest people during protests that have roiled the city and pitted local officials against the Trump administration.
By 8 p.m. hundreds of people, most wearing masks and many donning helmets, had already gathered near a fountain, one spot where groups meet before marching to the Hatfield Federal Courthouse and the federal agents there. They chanted and clapped along to the sound of thunderous drums, pausing to listen to speakers.
Among various organized groups, including Healthcare Workers Protest, Teachers against Tyrants, Lawyers for Black Lives and the Wall of Moms, was Portland Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, who spoke to protesters outside the Justice Center.
By 9 p.m. the crowd grew to several thousand. People, pressed shoulder to shoulder, packed the area and overflowed into the streets as they chanted "Black Lives Matter and Feds go home to the sound of drums.

Always bring a bigger leaf blower.
These people are antifa which are the democrats paramilitary arm just like the KKK was before it.
JoMa
They need to start using puke gas with a dye mixed in.
Radical Disney ABC propagandist debt care about the virus now .
What about 6 ft and no large groups ?
The radical corporate liars are the most dangerous of all .
Leaf blowers and teargas?
How about water cannons at the very minimum?
Where are the sonic riot control devices? Where are the microwave riot control devices?
I get it that Trump doesn’t want them to start using high velocity projectile launchers on the insurrectionist rioters / terrorists yet, but tear gas and dueling leaf blowers is just damn silly.
these democrats should avoid using gas masks. When gas masks are used then the riot becomes persistent. If tear gas is ineffective then the riot will need to be dispersed by increasingly lethal means.
>>They need to start using puke gas with a dye mixed in.
Or Mustard Gas..
Use water cannons with skunk mix that stays on them for several days.
Water cannon just seems obvious ??
Not to be a nay-sayer, but I’m a chess player. With that said, the situation in downtown Portland OR has become fertile ground for a false-flag attack.
Ditto Louisville.
Onlookers beware.
just my $0.02.
From the article:
Wolf said Tuesday that at least 43 people have been arrested on federal charges at that point. Charges included assaulting federal officers, arson and damaging federal property, U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams said. All the defendants are local and were released after making a court appearance.
That HAS to stop. Do not release them.
[Where are the sonic riot control devices? ]
Illuminate them. 500 lumins ought to do it.
I have said water cannons from the very first day.
And bean bag shotgun shells,
and rock salt to the legs.
Turn off the power to downtown, see how well they “protest” in the dark.
I still want to know who paid for those pallets of bricks that mysteriously appeared in city after city during the first week of riots. My first thought was George Soros. But, I am beginning to think the invoice was paid by the DNC.
Me too! Water cannons would be so much more fun!
Microwave
To “try?”
Stupid headline. “Feds disperse fascist so-called antifa protesters.”
Five will get you ten she will be Portland's next mayor.
That HAS to stop. Do not release them.
Bagpipe Bill and Main DOJ will do the minimum in support of POTUS and not an ounce more.
