Mayor Ted Wheeler wants the deputization rescinded, saying it represents an incursion by the federal government into local law enforcement. U.S. Attorney for Oregon Billy Williams refused, saying Portland protesters weren't facing harsh enough consequences under Wheeler's...

All in all, the 'moms' and 'dad' march in Portland last night can only be described as a March Of Shame. Not only did they not grab their 'kids' by the collar and march them home, they actively participated in the vandalism. At first the march by 'moms' and 'dads' to 'protect' their innocent little kids from the big bad federal marshals looked promising for a peaceful night, until about 10:30 when the mom/dad group was suckered into marching around the block. This gave their blac bloc clad 'children' the time they needed to gather at the courthouse. The yoots...
