Fascists, backed by the Bundy clan, took over a Portland schoolboard meeting to protest basic health and safety guidelines. The school board retreated, leaving the meeting place in control of far-right maskless demonstrators.

Police did nothing, and will never do anything.

A black security guard told the maskless woman to put on her mask,

The woman called him “boy.”

The woman then looked around and said “yeah, I said it.”

“The fight is not in Molalla, it’s here in Portland.”

Anti-vaccine demonstrators hold their own meeting after PPS suspended the school board meeting and left the building.

Anti-vaccine demonstrators have taken over a Portland Public School board meeting.

Officials have left the building to conduct the meeting virtually after some protestors refused to wear masks.

Far-right demonstrators are now conducting their own meeting in the building.

Why are cities and counties forcing school boards to suffer this level of bullying alone? Where the fuck is the “law and order” right wingers think is so precious?

Deplorables can’t be allowed to have their way.

Take a look at this Twitter feed

https://mobile.twitter.com/pdxpolicelog

Scroll back through the last 24 hours. Doesn’t matter which 24 hours you look at - you’ll see 30-50 reports of stolen cars. Everyday it’s a fresh horror of cars being stolen.

I’d rather they be out there, trying to curb the stolen car epidemic.

Yeah, it’s be nice if they could spare a cop for the meeting, but for a crowd that size they’d need quite a few of them. And they’re a bit busy.

oppressed by the majority (ex. equal number of senators from each state) but did not anticipate the time that the majority of the population would be held hostage and oppressed by the minority.

That building will require a mask policy, and police to enforce it. If dispatch didn't send police, admin needs replacing. The city needs to regain control of security.

When the knuckleheads refused to respect the rules and the others in attendance, the Board adjourned and conducted the meeting virtually. Link to local news story here.

They let the brats have their tantrum, and the work of the Board continued without them.

If the building was reserved for a board meeting and the board meeting adjourned then shut down the building.

whenever they get it they race to the nearest medical facility to get the antibodies their own bodies should have been making from a vaccine.
