Peaceful Protests? That river in Egypt must be one almighty crowded place what with all the people in this world who are in Denial.
![]() PORTLAND THURSDAY NIGHT Police in Portland, Ore. declared that a once peaceful protest was a riot after demonstrators were seen attacking drivers and committing acts of vandalism during their march against Donald Trump’s election Thursday night. Portland police said at least 29 people were arrested in the riot and that more information would be given on the charges Friday morning. Sections of Interstate 5 and Interstate 84 were temporarily closed. Protesters in Portland’s Pearl District were breaking windows of several businesses and some were arming themselves with rocks from a construction site, police said. At the peak of Portland’s demonstration late Thursday, about 4,000 people took to the streets, confronting drivers, spray-painting buildings and smashing electrical boxes with baseball bats PORTLAND - FRIDAY Police in riot gear stood firm across one downtown street until after 8 p.m. when protesters threw glass bottles at the police. By 10 p.m., the police had deployed tear gas, flash grenades and rubber bullets, PORTLAND - SATURDAY Portland, Oregon, has been the site of the most violent anti-Trump demonstrations with a shooting and the arrest of 71 people on Saturday. LOS ANGELES - WEDNESDAY 28 people were arrested Wednesday for blocking traffic during a demonstration that also saw vandalism to some buildings and a news truck. INDIANAPOLIS - SATURDAY In Indianapolis, two police officers were injured by protesters throwing rocks Saturday evening, according to a tweet from the Indianapolis Metro Police Department's official account. Seven people were arrested as police tried to keep peace in downtown Indianapolis. MIAMI - FRIDAY Earlier Friday in Miami, hundreds of demonstrators clogged a major thoroughfare, the MacArthur Causeway, halting traffic for more than an hour shortly after dusk. They eventually moved downtown and by 9 p.m. had blocked northbound lanes on Interstate 95. CHICAGO In Chicago, 49-year-old David Wilcox, was viciously beaten by a group of young men and women in Chicago. The attackers screamed phrases such as “You voted Trump” and “Don’t vote Trump.” PEACEFUL PROTEST? It looks more like Violent Anarchy to me.
