From the newswire: "First and foremost I want to thank from the bottom of my heart the kind humanbeings who helped my children, my wife and me after we were pepper sprayed by the Portland Police. We were aided immediately by fellow demonstrators, the black cross and passers-by caught in the crossfire. These people shielded us with their bodies and soothed us with their treatments and words, and argued with police, putting themselves in danger, to secure our safe passage through the cordon. Their actions stand in beautiful contrast to the savage inhumanity of the police.
"We brought our children to a peaceful protest, we stayed in the back and we were walking on the sidewalk. The march stopped at the intersection of 2nd and Alder we could not see why from our position on the SW corner of the intersection. Police quickly moved up behind us and a moment or two later sprayed pepper spray into the crowd from the NE corner of the intersection. the crowd ran toward us to escape the spray. We asked the oficer closest to us how we should exit the intersection. He pointed and said to exit to the NE, into the spraying police opposite him. as the crowd pressed toward us I yelled to him to let us through (south on 2nd) because we had three small children. He looked at me, and drew out his can from his hip and sprayed directly at me." [ Read More... ] http://portland.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=18010&group=webcast
From the newswire: "Alan Graf, Portland resident and Chair of the Portland Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild called a press conference at 8:45am on August 23rd at City Hall to talk about the police violence during the previous days Bush protest."... "After Alan Graf spoke, a number of people came forward to tell their stories. One was Don Joughin, the father of the children who were pepper sprayed 2nd and Alder. He showed photos of his children crying, faces red and swollen. Don told how he and his family were in the back, away from any direct protest and how police surrounded everyone, and would not let people leave, at the same time that other police were ordering people to disperse."
"After speaking with the press outside City Hall, Alan Graf, many of the press, and the 60 or so people who attended the press conference went up to Mayor Katz's office to speak to her. The Mayor was in her office but declined to speak to the people there. She obviously does not care enough about babies and small children being pepper sprayed by police to come out and talk to the father of those children."

Methinks that some out there fear if he is re-elected that the super start that communism got during the last regime might start to wither and die. Fear not we have if anything and overabundance of your kind and it would take some time to clear the air of the stench you have left behind.
If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.
My home is only about 10 minutes north of that God forsaken city.
It's a bad combination.
The citizens of the citizen are, for the most part, Liberal radicals who have no qualms about using arson and violence to make their voice heard.
On the other hand, the vast majority of Portland police officers are the epitome of the Jack Booted Thug.
Mayor Vera Katz is the most dangerous kind of Liberal.
So, you have two extremes going at each other. Eventually, the JBT police there will win out because no matter how violent the citizens of Portland get, they are still Liberals and don't believe in the use of firearms.
I don't go there (Portland) unless I can absolutely help it.
