I was wondering what was up. I thought it was some sort of decoration: the banners were quite colorful and rippling in the breeze...and you couldn't see the people from as far away as I was. Got home and my Facebook feed was full of commentary on the protest. This being Portland, the commentary was all favorable.

Best comment: "Thou shell not pass!"
