PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - The annual 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade and Carnival scheduled for this weekend has been canceled due to "threats of violence," according to organizers.
The parade, in what would have been its 11th year, is the first sanctioned event of the Portland Rose Festival.
The event is put on by the 82nd Avenue of Roses Business Association in partnership with local businesses, neighbors and community groups. The goal is to "celebrate and promote the diverse community that lives, works and plays on 82nd Avenue."
In a statement released Tuesday, the business association said, "Following threats of violence during the parade by multiple groups planning to demonstrate at the event, we can no longer guarantee the safety of our community and have made the difficult decision to cancel the parade and carnival."

The Multnomah County Republican Party stated parade organizers received an email demanding their registration be revoked or a "riseup" group will send hundreds of people rushing into the parade to "drag and push those people out."

I just perused the Portland TV station websites and no live coverage. Mainly coverage of the global warming hoax march.
Maybe the mercantile class in this fascist Left coast of the country will wake up from this fiasco and start voting right instead of Left.
We had a Seafood and Craft Festival last weekend in our town's Main Street park. I drove past on two consecutive days and you couldn't find a place to park. There were thousands of cars going and coming all day and evening. The local merchants, restauranteurs and crafters, etc. had booths, and were they ever cleaning up!
