I'm just saying it's not quite accurate to describe the people they assaulted as being in a crosswalk.

Nonetheless, even NOT in a crosswalk ... pedestrians still have the right-of-way.

We've spent all summer praising and taking strength from seeing citizens standing up for our rights. Now we want those same people protesting to retreat, even though what they're fighting for its just as urgent now as it was when protests started.

That's got to be an extremely hard thing to swallow.

Video of the shooting downtown was caught on Facebook live, around 18 minutes. #PortlandProtests https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10221132149871196&id=1167905585


The link is to a full page video rather than a facebook page. If you don't want to see a shooting, don't click. It's from a distance and not graphic, but it's upsetting.

I doubt that "law enforcement" will intervene, and I'm betting that this will escalate massively.

These are Trump's Brownshirts.
