Stay up to date on Portland news and politics. Looking for fun? Here are the best Things to Do in Portland today.
GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Every other word is "uh-huh," "yeah," "okay." Could it be that you're at the crib with another lady? LET'S GO TO PRESS.
In case you missed this weekend's Patriot Prayer vs. Portland rally/counter protest, it was a shit show that strongly resembled the last few shit shows caused by media-addict Joey Gibson and company. In fact, one might even say we should've learned our lesson by now? Check out the Mercury's recap and photo essay here, and if you'd like a blow-by-blow, see our Saturday live blog of the protest.
Meanwhile Police Chief Outlaw announced the Bureau will investigate accusations of injuries sustained by counter protesters thanks to the cops' overzealous crowd control tactics.
Hurrah for the Timbers who defeated Philadelphia in what our Abe Asher calls the "feel-good" game of the weekend. Meanwhile, the Thorns experienced a not-so-feel-good-game when they were defeated 2-1 by North Carolina.
The Timbers won 3-0 and the awful neo-nazis who caused chaos in my city today had their cars towed from the Fred Meyer parking lot they tried to use like a park & ride. Iâll take that 3 points and $1000 impound fee plz. Today is a decent day.
