A threatening email has derailed one of the Portland Rose Festival's signature events, and spurred new debate about the ongoing political protests in Portland.
Organizers of the 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade announced Tuesday that the event will be canceled, for fear that the east Portland parade could be disrupted by "the type of riots which happen in downtown Portland."
Originally scheduled this Saturday, April 29, the parade is meant to highlight the local community and businesses along Southeast 82nd Avenue, aiming to turn around the negative perception many people have of the area. It started in 2007 and has since become a popular event on the Rose Festival calendar.
This year's parade was once again set to feature the Multnomah County Republican Party as one of the many groups slated to march, but that inclusion drew ire from some of the city's left-leaning protest groups.

The leftist mobs will continue to shut us down until our side decides to challenge them directly. In time, it will be war on the streets.
Yeah! That’ll teach those pesky terrorists!
The left now knows that this tactic “works,” so they’ll be ramping it up at more and more events which feature conservatives.
We are stupid to give in to them. Too bad we don’t have any more Mayor Daley’s to issue deadly warnings against anarchist rioters.
The Circus is gone too.
The Pro-Fa’s are terrorizing the country and the conservatives are letting them.
On FB and twitter these Pro-Fa’s are talking about bringing weapons to these engagements.
The police are standing down.
This is a very large event.

Cowards
Apparently, some “boys” are heading to Berkeley. Proud Boys.
It may be coming to a head. And if the police are told to sit back and do nothing while the anarchist burn down the town, then there may be a serious confrontation or worse.
Berkeley have to be a little worried as they should be. Justice and fairness go both ways.
Cancelled due to likelihood of litigation.
If someone is injured by rioters after organizers receive threats of violence, grounds for lawsuit against organizers.
Insurance companies pull out in advance.
Parade cancelled because organizers no longer insured.
Interconnected problems. Everything in this country needs an overhaul.
Hilarious: Violent Lefties destroying fun for other Lefties.
I thought our policy was not to negotiate with terrorists.
That’s right. They’ll need to see some of their own blood in the street before they’ll back off. Just like any terrorist, the violent application of power is what they understand.
I hope you’re right, but a leftist state will side with the anarchists - every time. And a leftist state is hard to resist, without a full-out civil war.
Yeah, I thought this was a little ironic, being in Portland.
Shame of Portland for apparently not guaranteeing the safety of this family parade. Their bow to the nazis is disgusting and very dangerous. They will find that appeasement won’t work there any more than it did in Munich. Tough lessons coming.
National Guard with real bullets.
