So, anyone here in Portland?

dartz, Rob, sometimes you are going to lose, the fact that the protest lasted 19 years and from your tone held whatever happened up that long is a testament to the people being protested against not bringing in bigger guns to push through what they wanted to do.

No, the protesters failed at what they intended to do. As far as I know, the nuclear weapons were never removed from the army base that they were picketing

(Hence my question "How many people remember what is was about?")

Jinx999 When the media bias covers for what the city officials can't cover up you are not going to get anything close to the truth. If the city was being run by a RhINO republican you would see the news media lambasting the city council, the police, and the mayor as weaklings in the face of some violent extremist protestors. But the current admin in that city, and in Seattle, and Minneapolis, are all fellow travelers of the liberal path, thus they cannot call them out lest they put their own agenda in danger, thus the narrative becomes "Peaceful Protests fired upon by Federal law enforcement"

Well, there's the thing:

So... where were these guys when a bunch of protesters toting actual semiautomatic weapons stormed federal buildings in April? Liberate Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia, but fuck Oregon, amirite?

This isn't happening in cities "being run by a RhINO republican ", to use your words. There's a double standard in play here.
