Don't make eye contact with anyone

You can chain your assault weapon to the bicycle racks

Most of the food servers voted for Hillary, look before you bite

If it looks like a zombie, acts like a zombie, and tries to feast on your flesh, it's an anarchist.

Be sure to drive your Humvee so you can roll over the protestors more easily.

And plan for the hostage situation.

They are not protestors, they are law breaking terrorists taking people hostage.

The vast majority were protesters and tried to stop the idiots from damaging things.

Sorry. Drawing the line here.

When you do not get a permit for a public gathering and a road closure and you stand in force in traffic blocking the commuters, you are not a protester. You are a criminal who has taken people hostage.
This is not debatable. This is the law.

Tell me a meaningful mass protest in human history that was "lawful".

I'm not technically disagreeing with you, and I'm not entirely in favor of the means in which the protesters chose to express themselves, but when you are protesting the power structure and the status quo, when is it "legal"?

They could refuse to stand for the national anthem...

Its legal when you get a permit. Its easy. You apply. It happens all the time.
Not 100% sure its legal, but to go "Protest" on the capital you know, where we elect our representatives that chose the president?, Sounds like a much more sound idea. than ruining people evenings, many of whom voted for Hilary too.

My wife works downtown. You dont think this is serious?

The police not arresting these criminals is whats causing this to escalate. Its causing people like myself to want to take action into our own hands instead of be patient because we can see law enforcement ENFORCING the law....

 

[Eastoff]

Keep the politics in the OT section guys.

It's possible to break a law in a non-violent, non-destructive manner as a form of protest. There's a big difference between making salt from sea water, to protest an unfair tax on salt, and random, senseless destruction of personal property because you didn't get what you wanted. Although Gandhi, and several other members of the Indian National Congress were jailed multiple times, India ultimately achieved independence from British rule though nonviolent acts of civil disobedience. It's possible, and generally much more effective, to protest in mass without being a bunch of clueless asshats.

I've refrained from commenting on politics in this forum, but as the parent of a gay daughter, I was very proud that Portland was the least red major city in this election (outside of Washington DC). Trump only got 17.6% of the vote in Mulnomah County. He did better in Seattle (21.6%), San Francisco (19.1%), Los Angeles (23.4%) and Boulder, CO (21.9%).

Now this. I have gone from being proud of my city to being embarrassed by the actions of a few people who are doing much more to hurt their "cause" than to help it. Fucking idiots. This is EXACTLY what Trump and his followers want - something that makes their side look like the sane and reasonable ones.
