Protesters try to storm Oregon State Capitol during session, 4 arrested
Oregon State Police declared an unlawful assembly at the State Capitol in Salem after demonstrators tried to forcibly enter the building when a special session was on. They were opposing policies closing certain businesses to curb the spread of Covid-19. Police said they arrested four organizers during the six-hour rally and were looking for a man who tried to break in and attacked two reporters.
9 months of Burning, Looting and Murder go ignored in Portland... One group of protesters show up without a permit and the storm troops are deployed. Hmmmmm....
“If you had not done such great evil to my people and had simply asked me to wear my mask, I would have,” Heard said. “But you commanded it and therefore I declare my right to protest against your false authority and remove my mask.” Why do I read this in the voice of Stewie from Family Guy? Substitute ‘eat my peas and carrots’ for ‘wear my mask’ and it is essentially an over dramatic line from a baby in a cartoon. Don’t tell Heard to wear a seatbelt on a plane..unless you like theatrics and a 90 minute wait on the tarmac because doing the sensible thing is not an option if someone tells you to do it!
Readng some of these replies, it's hard to understand how humans can see the same things, and come to such different conclusions. No, "both sides" are not right. There is evidence, or there's no evidence. You can't just "think" something is right or wrong.
The low intelligence right-wing nitwits will shift the blame to antifa and BLM.
This stuff wouldn't happen if all $900 billion went to small businesses and the people instead of mostly corporations, the wealthy, and the government themselves. Hell, no money should have went to any of them at all during this entire time. This is the hole we have allowed ourselves to become trapped in.
So many triggered right wingers on this chat... you’ve been spoiled by your privilege for so long, you never fathomed your people getting arrested for doing something like storming a capital building and attack reporters.
I hoping dumpsters keep following their leader by not wearing masks and not social distancing from themselves. I'll thin out their herd and do us a favor.
It was okay when our protests were declared unlawful for no reason, but it’s definitely not okay when it happens to you guys, no no no . . . 🙄
Where are those frumpy Oregon moms in their yellow shirts, fanny packs and bicycle helmets when you need them?!!!! 🤣
I hope there where counter protesters down their. These thugs are getting too organized. Time for the feds to crack down on these Domestict Terrorists and charge them accordingly. Or let the blm and antifa steam roll them either way I'd rather have antifa and blm on my streets then these so called patriotic thugs.
Salty right wingers are crying about getting arrested and wanna blame antifa like the cops weren't called on antifa and blm too. Shut up you cry babies
Finally, lockdown protesters get a miniscule part of what BLM protesters are facing. Now, since it's legal to run over protesters with your car......
The protesters should have gone to the politicians homes with tar and feathers, and applied some swift voter feedback. That $600 "stimulus relief" can buy a lot of tar and feathers....
MAGA doesn't have the capacity to understand that refusing to care about other people is not heroic or patriotic - it's selfish and pathetic. Then again, they also don't understand that wanting something to be true (ie. that Trump really won the election) doesn't make it so, so I'm not at all surprised. I'm waiting to see just how much more ridiculous they'll get.
Why isn't trump screaming about this? Ppl were attacked. Why isn't he screaming about sending in federal troops?
💎💎💎#JewsWillNotReplaceUs, BUT CORPSES WILL! 💎💎💎 I wonder if Oregon police are considering hiring, as deputies, people that are currently infected with the virus, to guard the capital? If these protesters are not afraid of the virus then they will have no problem to try breakthrough an outside perimeter with these deputies. There is no reason NOT TO DO THIS because if there are hospitals telling doctors who are currently infected to get back to work; WHAT WOULD BE THE REAL HARM? What a crazy world we live in, that deplorables are protesting pandemic countermeasures! KIND OF LIKE ZOMBIES THAT ARE NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING... Ladies and gentlemen the end of the world apocalypse is here, and the zombies are advancing on Oregon capitol... #DeplorableZombies
Those liberal protestors and their violent protest.. oh wait.. woops lol
They think thats bad wait until Biden is actually president and shuts the entire country down like he been saying.
It is news stories like this that should make you realize we are not ready to colonize another planet...
Its only unlawful unless you ANTIFA or BLM terrorist .
