Lacrosse sticks? Portland. These people are so impressively resourceful

Portland Protester Uses Lacrosse Stick to Throw Tear Gas Back at Federal Officers

Portland, Oregon, protester intercepted teargassing attempts with a lacrosse stick on Wednesday night, while others used leaf blowers to clear the area of the gas.

The demonstrators' defense tactics were recorded in a video shared on Twitter early Thursday morning. It shows a group gathered outside of Portland's barricaded federal courthouse. When authorities toss tear gas canisters over a recently constructed fence surrounding the building, one protester uses the lacrosse stick to launch them back over the barrier.

I am amazed at how well they are making the DHS goons choke on their own fumes. The level of organization and cooperation here is to be commended. It is so impressive.




It’s nice to see that after centuries without practice, the American people are still experts at resisting tyrannical authority. Keep it up Portland

That's hella brave, considering how the Feds have been going after the most vulnerable in their attacks!
