It is a day that ends in Y, so of course I am headed out to get shot at by federal troops. Tonight is famously the night mayor Ted Wheeler is showing up to attend ninety minutes of a protest. I am hearing he has already been chased by a chunk of the crowd.
Boy howdy this crowd seems rowdy. We may be in for a night of spice. Since the last like five nights have all been very spicy, this is admittedly not much of a prediction.
The crowd is projecting a series of demands on the wall of the Justice Center. I do not think Ted is going to like them.
Just a truly enormous gathering tonight.
The feds have replaced the fence around their embattled courthouse, and they have added a concrete vehicle barrier.
The crowd chants for Ted to "Resign now". The instant I press stop on the recording, someone to my left says "fuck Ted's personal space!"
The crowd chants "Tear Gas Teddy" and "War Crime Wheeler" as they demand Ted take to the stage and answer for his actions.
I think Ted is behind that flock of cameras. Really just a silly number of folks here. 
Here we see Ted Wheeler starting his walk of shame up to the podium under a hail of boos.

After the speeches kids begin throwing trash into the courthouse
Kids are shooting fireworks at and throwing garbage into the front of the courthouse.
The feds have turned off the lights. That is generally a bad sign.
The Fed LRAD has started up.
I am still out in front of the Federal Courthouse, where the feds just sallied out. They were forced back inside by, among other things, a man with a lacrosse stick.
Here we see the Phalanx repel a gas attack and advance to the wall.
Ted Wheeler's police have just declared a riot and warned us gas is coming.
Another Portland phalanx advances under fire to plug a gap
Here we see a shield activists temporarily forced back by the sheer mass of gas.
The Police have not been by to declare it a riot in a while. Folks are still shooting the courthouse.
Folks just relentlessly tucking with U.S. Marshals despite several arrests.
Someone starts throwing incendiaries. One lights a tree on fire, the other lights a protester on fire, and other activists beat the flames out.
The feds gas us again, but people blow the gas back before it causes a problem.
