Portland police 'retreat' after standoff with NAKED female protester (new link to Mediate)


WATCH: ‘Naked Athena’ Faces Down Federal Cops at Portland Protest — and They Back Down

https://www.mediaite.com/online/watch-naked-athena-faces-down-federal-cops-at-portland-protest-and-they-back-down/

Journalist Donovan Farley headed into downtown Portland on Friday night where protesters were gathering outside the federal courthouse, and caught a remarkable set of events that began with a nude protester.

Farley catalogued his night on the streets of Portland in a continuous thread, starting just before 10pm local time.

...tv. If you want in-depth coverage, subscribe online to any of several outstanding American newspapers.

Just don’t tell me that a propaganda organ of the former Soviet Union is going to be either truthful or reliable in any way.

It can appear as naked Athena one day, and old man crossing the street or a child another.

Naked Athena is a great name. And what a great way to confront trump’s secret police. The cowards still fired at the ground in front of her with I assume was pepper balls?

Literally afraid of a naked woman. Chicken shits.

they belong in magazines on slick paper. Not in an area they can be seen or used.

what's even funnier is the first kidneys have been on display for years now and I've heard that the rw likes the kidneys. don't know about the old guy that sleeps or not in the other bedroom.

I think Naked Athena is a great name too.

Nice to meet ya.

I think I made the mistake of searching for naked Athena instead of just naked protestor.

I'll include it in the OP

The symbolism of all that is a little overwhelming.

We may yet be able to pull out of this tailspin.

Whoever this “Athena” is, she has my undying admiration.

Gotta give this woman points; she's damn brave.
