A dozen or so more people showed up, and there’s been a call for people to bring various supplies. Someone with snacks just arrived. #Portlandprotest #statue #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #pdx #georgewashington #flagburning
About 50 people here, parts of the George Washington statue now read “Genocidal Colonist” “ACAB” “No Rest Till Abolition” “Slave Owner” (picture from an hour ago) Portlandprotest #statue #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #pdx #georgewashington #flagburning
PIZZA HERE (I’m so hungry)
The guy on the bike just attacked multiple people by the statue, they were people yelling that he is a proud boy. No one is injured. #Portlandprotest #statue #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #pdx #georgewashington #flagburning
Also a guy in a white pick up truck with a Christian flag flying drove by and yelled at the group.
When the alleged Nazi/Proud Boy guy on the bike was being chased out of the area, he dropped his little hat. Now up in flames. #Portlandprotest #statue #blacklivesmatter #PDXprotests #pdx #oregon #blm #acab #pdx #georgewashington #flagburning
