Politics Pro Trump protester knocked out at PDX

A little more frequently as the years go by. Do you think the tide will ever turn?

 

I genuinely appreciate the offer but the three states I'm leaving out are California, Washington and Nevada. Been there, done those plenty of times. Though I'd love to see the boat. I spent most of the 80's and all of the 90's gunkholing in the Puget Sound with a friend on his old 26' Columbia. MarAzul must be awesome!

 

Easy boy! It's a proper term. It mean checking out the area (by boat) and anchoring here and there, whatever seems right.

 

C'mon, broaden your horizons

 

I expect we will be up in the Columbia some time this summer. Might even go to West Linn.

 

The dude that got knocked out was screaming "YOU HATE GOD" from inches away, into people's faces with a bullhorn. Does that not constitute a punch in the face? I think it does. Don't scream anything in my face with a fucking bullhorn.

 

Rather than punch him in the face, they could always just play this song very loudly.

 

It's unfortunate what this has come to. I was harassed downtown and couldn't figure out why until someone knocked off my had as they were yelling at me. It was a Doernbecher Children's hospital hat.....which happened to be red. The poor ignorant/clueless/hysterically mad idiots took one look at the color and started in on me. It caught me off guard because I had no idea what they were so upset about. Apparently because it was red, they thought it was a Trump Make America Great again and didn't pause 2 seconds to realize the writing on it was for a local children's hospital.

Idiots!

 

wow, sorry man that's messed up.

 

Where did you dump the body?

 

Did they even apologize?

 

I don't think he checked his privilege and acknowledge that he was an oppressor and part of the patriarchy. Maybe if he did those beasts would give a half assed "srry:/" to him.

 

Back in my day we used to go to these to bash hippies. Time to bring it back boys

 

They did not apologize in the least. When I showed them what the hat actually said, one of them piped up with, "Well, you are probably one of those supporters anyhow." I just walked away because it was obvious there was no discussing of anything remotely rational or objective with these people.

Then I offended a friend of mine who asked a couple of days later if I was going down to protest. I made the mistake of telling him that I had a job and had a lot to get down. I was in no way indicating he didn't have a job (which he does) but just that I didn't have time to march, yell or block traffic. The tirade that ensued probably means we aren't friends anymore. Guess he wasn't very 'tolerant' of my job or 'loving' of my commitment to put food on the table and a roof over my family's heads.

 

Referring to my minority privilege? Or that it is a privilege to be able to help out sick children with any type of fundraiser possible?

 

It's amazing to me how some of the people who are so worked up about Trump, are so aggressive and angry and violent towards people who are not 100% in line with their thinking.

 

People are losing their fucking minds. Last week I got stalked by a couple of dickheads down by the MAX near my office when I was going to the food carts on SW 10th and it took me pulling a knife to get them to fuck off.

 

Yes, and don't you forget it! You're obviously compensating for your alt-right Nazi style facism lol

 

Only the Sith deal in absolutes..
