From the article-


Demonstrators engaged 'in an attempt to disrupt officers as they walked in from the end of their shift'

Portland protesters early Wednesday began to set up tents in the park near the federal courthouse and have barricaded streets to create their own autonomous zone, likened to the since disbanded Capitol Hill Occupied Protest in Seattle.


Demonstrators began erecting tents in downtown Portland’s Lownsdale Square, across the street from the federal Pioneer Courthouse, one of the federal properties Homeland Security sought to protect by bringing federal officers into the city two weeks ago.

A camera at the Portland Standard Building showed protesters beginning to assemble tents late Tuesday night in the same park where “Occupy Portland” set up in 2011, KATU reported.

If anyone would bother to dig deeper than the frantic, panty-twisted, bedwetting Fox version: "As of 5 a.m., about a dozen demonstrators remained in the zone." (Protesters attempt to form so-called autonomous zone in downtown Portland parks) That's not an "autonomous zone", that's barely "a bunch of homeless guys begging for quarters" in most cities.

Yeah, such a THREAT to society. Throw 'em a bag of good coffee and they'll take each other out scuffling over it.

Everyone nationwide has gotten the message there isn't ANY reason to block traffic with barricades and disrupt other people's lives. They need to go home and be constructive by sitting down with leaders of the movement and those in power by sharing ideas for REAL change.
This behavior just says to me that they don't have any good ideas and don't have anything better to do with their time, such as volunteering in their communities.

I went to a very liberal liberal arts college. It was so radicalizing that people went from it into things like the Ministry, community medicine, high positions in the Peace Corps, that kind of hardcore bleeding heart stuff. So, I get what you're saying.

How adorable, a politician whose paycheck is based on how scared people are bleats about how people should be scared. TWELVE losers set up an "autonomous zone". I've met old ladies who are more dangerous than that.

These things always start somewhere! ;)
