I like your positivity.
My initial thought watching that was, I don't think I would feel comfortable in that crowd.
I'm a white guy probably generally sympathetic to the protestors.
Part of my initial reaction was "huh that's what the PNW is like" 'cause I haven't been to Portland.
Fools like Verb have no idea what’s really going on in Portland every night. Keep believing the hype you’re being fed, jokers. If you care about freedom even in the slightest you should be very scared about what’s happening right now.

Until I see Dame at pioneer square spread eagle with his dong on the ground it won't be real to me.

Is this a fair assesment? This plus the 4 people that were detained, mirandized, and released? Is that still going on? Spooky.
If the retards stopped attacking the federal building, the feds would stay inside.
The only resolution (as I previously suggested) that seems to be agreeable to the black block is for feds to abandon the building and let it burn. I don't see this happening.
It would also improve the biased coverage we are seeing if the protesters allowed neutral media with cameras anywhere near. Can't complain about a lack of neutral coverage when this is your approach!

Has any of the protestors actually done this? Seems to be the opposite of the current leftist/proggy climate.

? You haven't seen footage of people getting their phones snatched away if they aren't deemed sympathetic to the cause? Cameras are fine if teargas is being deployed, but capturing images of property destruction where those involved might be identified is frowned upon.
Its not universal (they might not notice all the time) but it happens often enough. News crews have been assaulted multiple times as well.

Robert Evans: burning police stations is awesome! Tear Gas!? Geneva violation!
Yeah I had to mute him on Twitter and haven't listened to Behind the Bastards in a while. He just sounded so lame running around the streets every night.

I have seen what the protestors are doing (rare! fringe!), I just wasnt sure if they were actually ballsy enough to be complaining about unfair portrayal in the media or if that was just some right wing meme shit.

More speaking to what swan was all about: people that don't live in Portland don't really know whats going on.

The new season of Portlandia has been the best yet!
By living in a metro area with 2.5 million people, I actually have unmediated access to everything that's happening there.

Portland is a:
1) terrible place to live
2) flaming shithole
3) for crybabies
4) and perverts

Rainier is one of the better "shitty local beers." It's no Lone Star, but.
