Wall of Moms - Tonight in Portland

[Nevilledog]

[FM123]

1. Mobilize Our Mothers.

Sure wish it didn't have to come to this....

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. WTH!

Why do we need a “wall of moms”?

Not that I don’t applaud the effort, I love it...I really, really do. I understands the whole thing.

I just don’t want that to have to be, and I want Trump out of his stolen office NOW!

[FM123]

97. Exactly.

We should not need a wall of moms at all, it is really a sad day in America when it has come to this.
(btw, I didn't mean we should actually "mobilize our moms" just being kinda sarcastic there - to organize and protest is necesary but to deploy them to go up against these soldiers is just too dangerous to ask of them.)

[Gore1FL]

5. Momerica!

I love the power of the imagery. God help the federal occupation forces if they touch these women.

[Mersky]

6. Wall of Moms are standing against the fence NOW

From a channel I’ve been referring to over the weeks of protest - Robert Evans:

Originally found Evans through the Woke channel. I think he does a great job of explaining what’s happening.

[Nevilledog]

7. Yeah. That's the one I'm watching. Forgot to come back to the thread. Thank you!

[Cha]

Getting justification to use force

[Nevilledog]

[Nevilledog]

15. Moms against the fence shielding the crowd

[Nevilledog]

16. Chanting "Moms are here, kids stay clear"

[Nevilledog]

18. Feds not attacking cuz too many people. Line in sand seems to be the fence.

[Nevilledog]

19. Feds tossed flash bang

[Nevilledog]

20. Another flash bang

[Nevilledog]

21. Crowd didn't move... Shouting hands up, don't shoot

[Mersky]

23. Thank you for logging what's happening.

Is important that people get the context of what is actually occurring. Moms in yellow shirts wearing bike helmets and masks are not going to make the efforts of the feds to create the image of a violent mob easy.

I’ll start commenting here in a couple mins when I can fully settle.

[Nevilledog]

24. Awesome.... I'm getting sleepy....lol

[Nevilledog]

22. Best feed I've watched is Robert Evans

[Mersky]

46. Protestors have breached the fence - are not being violent

They are testing the sacred fence rule. Standing quietly beyond the fence...now chanting

Will standing and chanting be enough to trigger an overreaction from the feds?

Seems it is a crowd that doesn’t know how to put them out

[Nevilledog]

55. Leaf blower being used to clear gas

[Mersky]

56. Evans got his eyes washed with fizzy water

Gets the spicy out

Now there’s a leafer blower and hockey stick group giving the gas and canisters back to the feds.

[Nevilledog]

ten yards from the feds

[Hekate]

Link to tweet

[Hekate]

81. My gods

[Mersky]

78. We're watching this stream:

Robert Evans:

https://www.pscp.tv/IwriteOK/1OwxWLbRkvMKQ

[Nevilledog]

75. Feds aiming weapons at protesters

[Mersky]

76. "Air is extremely spicy"

88. Feds going back to IRS building where they're living

[Nevilledog]

89. Looks like Feds managed to not lose their shit tonight.

I'm guessing the optics of physically engaging a bunch of Moms kept them from doing so.

[Mersky]

92. Evans said he expects there could be more tonight

For now, I am glad they retreated. Is enough feds menancing moms and young folks for one night, week, lifetime...

[Mersky]

90. Feds pulled back into the IRS building

Because they’re a bunch of -bleepies-

And, Evans has concluded his coverage for the night.

[Nevilledog]

91. Thanks for the company!

Hope we don't wake up to something horrible happening tonight.

Wait....more horrible.

[Mersky]

94. No, no...thank you for getting in there

No doubt about the potential for more horribleness, All I know is that this shouldn’t be happening. The federal government should not be aiming to actively harm the citizenry, and yet, they are doing just that. In Portland, in hospitals, homes, and schools...

I will check the other streams while I try to get some rest.

[roamer65]

93. Very brave moms.

Gassing moms is NOT good for the suburban mom vote, Dump.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

95. Powerful tweet from the press collective....
