What changed Civil Rights more: the LA Riots or King's peaceful protests that turned into Riots? Trick question, it was calm white people explaining things calmly.

Oh no! Big Daddy Wheeler won't take this poo poo lying down! I absolutely love all the pearl clutchers who keep talking about the post-election riots. Seriously, if those were riots, they were the weakest riots I've ever seen. Sure, a minuscule amount of property got smashed up, and that's never a great look (although it made for some really great destruction photos once the cropping was finished!), but I think riot is a huge stretch. And anyway, why the gently caress are we devoting large plots of land in the urban core to a commercial activity that can be handled just fine on the edge of town. gently caress car lots. What a wasted space.

The Portland police said the post-election protests were riots, and they were even milder than this.

Didn't realize anything had really gone down yet. I'm probably heading downtown within the hour. Has anything even started yet?

He had to go to work. Republicans in America: complaining that Obama took away all the jobs so they're all too busy at their jobs to protest.

Welp militia nuts in an army surplus truck with a trump flag just drove through town. Joy it's a circuit. Yep three times, dog is about done making GBS threads now. Looks like a third go round. This time with white power hand gestures.

Was honestly too stunned to do much other than go, what the gently caress. And then think, well don't want these assholes to see where I live.

Watched more than one officer dressed in riot gear basically try to instigate a fight with the crowd. The guys out tonight were spoiling for trouble and not really trying to hide it. I'm pretty sure they just wanted a good chance to show the new mayor how tough they can be.

Just arrived in Portland from the south earlier this year and it's certainly been eventful. A very small thing but I work for the city and during the recent inclement weather all city employees received an email about volunteering for shifts at the Portland Building since it was being opened up as a temporary homeless shelter. I thought this was really cool up until I saw how incredibly few shelters actually exist in this town. No loving duh there is a homeless problem, they have no where to go but the street.

Way back in the day, that location used to be an adult bookstore, but the city tore it down for code violations. The landowner decided that he could get back at the city by allowing homeless to camp there. Right 2 Dream Too was subsequently threatened with lawsuits from the city, and they told the city to gently caress off. Eventually the city relented. The city still wants them to leave because it's unsightly etc. (see also our attempts at a sit-lie ordinance) but they are doing an increasingly pisspoor job of actually finding a viable location. The first one that I'm aware of was under an overpass, but it was too close to the Pearl District (which, if you're unfamiliar with Portland, is the rich white snobbery part of the city) and some tenant association got hugely pissed off at the city so the city decided it couldn't be there. There've been a few other places, but they've never turned out for one reason or another. They've been at that spot on Burnside for around five years, and the city's still spending time and money vacillating over what they're going to do. In spite of everything, the city still believes that the camp needs to move.

I can kind of get on board with that. FWIW it seems well run, and has never bothered me at all. That area is where Central Concern is and such anyway, so it's probably a reasonable location for people that need to be able to have services and food in walking distance. It'd be nice if it could be a proper shelter though, with room for way more people. Is there any sort of organization that oversees it?
