PORTLAND, Ore. — Mayor Ted Wheeler plans to stand on a downtown Portland street corner Wednesday night to talk with protesters and try to break the stalemate between demonstrators and police that has stretched on for nearly eight weeks.

Wheeler plans to meet with protesters at the corner of SW 3rd and Morrison near the Multnomah County Justice Center at 9 p.m., according to his office.

00:37 / 00:39 Portland Police Struggle To Maintain Order After Weeks Of Nightly Civil Unrest FEATURED BY The Justice Center and the federal courthouse one block to the north have both been hot spots for violent clashes between protesters, Portland police and federal officers.

Wheeler’s planned visit comes on the heels of an editorial published Sunday in the Portland Tribune asking the mayor to do just this. The editorial, “Portland’s leaders – it is time – it is well past time – to lead,” called on Wheeler and other civic leaders to step up and break the cycle of nightly violence and clashes.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if the Mayor’s guards had to fire on the rioters?

[[[stalemate between demonstrators and police]]]

LOL. Like this idiot hasn’t caused it by tying the police in a knot.

This is a repeat of the child mayor in Minneapolis who was told “Go home, Jacob” in his skinny jeans. Portland has their own pussy, white liberal cuckold about to be publicly de-pantsed.

The protesters are a minor side attraction used as a vehicle for the main issue, the violent rioters. This mayor is a supporter of the groups who are violent, so they likely won't engage him during his Kabuki presentation.

What a sham this is.

Maybe we'll get some real entertainment if one or more of these likely meth’d up rioters can't control their violent urges and decide to present Wheeler with a good dose of reality.

in America, the key to her freedom and well being is that THE PEOPLE run the country

Be kind of neat if a squad of those Federal agents appeared, pushed him into a car, and took him away.

Not so far-fetched. He's probably an accessory to organizing the destruction of Federal property.

What could this imbecile possibly gain by listening to the rants of insane criminals.

It would be horrible if the Mayor would take a frozen water bottle to the noggin while out on that street corner.

He’s offering himself up as a hostage to the Marxists.

“Where are the property taxpayers at? The businesses that were forced to close downtown?”

Polls and interviews in downtown Portland (and some suburbs) repeatedly show consensus agreement with BLM and antifa positions. It’s hard for rational people to fathom, but that’s what happens when you lose your mind and become deranged.

I could hear the demons screaming last night inside of the rioter’s voices. Holy Water and vampires thing.

So, is this A-hole going to order his police to stand down from protecting him like his has ordered for the citizens?

cool. I can’t wait for him to take a photo-op next to the federal courthouse grafitti that says, “Moms for Dead Cops”. It’s so.... him.

A nice touch would be for the “Moms” to wear their little pink “kitty” hats that they wore a few years ago. Haven’t seen any of those recently.
