after watching how it went down in Portland last night, and after seeing how the protests went Friday in Chicago, i'd say the feds are in trouble.

summary of last night - after feds rolled in, thousands came out two nights ago, faced off with feds, who eventually retreated into the courthouse after throwing a shitload of tear gas. last night, thousands showed up, beat back the feds, pushed them inside, dearrested someone, and kept them at bay.

chicago has been much more violent over much less. protesters there don't seem like they're going to take any shit.

super proud of everybody that faces off against these government thugs.

I'm impressed by the people showing up night after night and refusing to give up their rights or give over their city over to the feds. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 21, 07:57 2

I admit I’ve not kept up on Chicago. Were there ongoing protests before the addition of these new government enforcers? -- nm - Qale Jul 21, 07:22 3
- yep. chicago police knocked the teeth out of an 18 year old organizer on friday. just about every city has something going on, media seems to be - colin Jul 21, 07:28 2
  - I can’t blame the media, I can only blame myself since I haven’t looked for coverage. I knew that overall there have been general vigil-type protests - Qale Jul 21, 07:34 1
    - i'm trying to keep up, but even keeping track of what happens in my own city is a lot. there's just so much, to varying degrees of effectiveness - colin Jul 21, 07:49
