"This Is History!" Livestream OccupyPortland; Media Reporting 5,000+ PHOTOS (WATCH NOW)

[Hissyspit]

"This Is History!" heard from the live stream cameraman. "No, this is revolution..." a companion responded.

"What are they going to do? The cops have had to strategically pull back."

"I think they might need more cops..."

"The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching!"

"Too big to jail."

2. I doubt 10,000

I'm a Portland native. I kinda doubt the 10,000 figure.

[Hissyspit]

3. Looking at the live stream, I don't doubt 5,000.

Yeah, 10,000 seems a little high.

[grasswire]

5. KGWTV says 5 to 6,000 and another 5,000 watching live stream OWS

anchor says they overheard police saying 5,000

4. Oh fantastic! I was so worried about Portland tonight!

That is how to do it, like they did in NYC. I hope the same thing happens in Oakland.

Thanks for the thread.

6. Bird's Eye View from KGW

A lot of the reporting is snarky, but it gives a good view of what's going on

8. I heard the snarky reporting too. Anita somebody from KATU

I guess she has an opinion that differs.

9. Yeah this Derick Bliss reporter ... is such a fascist enabler ...

What a tool.

11. He really seemed to only have a single-track mind, didn't he?

He's out of his depth. Most of these talking heads are, but it's nice to hear when the joy breaks through and the positive words appear, on Television.

31. Thanks, wow, I watched that this morning about 5-5:30, then when I came home.

Got a phone call maybe an hour or so ago and then the live feed cut out. Had to turn the volume down to handle the call and missed what happened and where they were going. Did they move to march across the bridge?

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

33. Now it looks like a street camera. Updates at 10 and 11PM

7. Lt. King sounded good. Seemed sympathetic

HE talked about Democracy and the bigger issues. Made very good, positive points. Said that people he met that were with OWS were peaceful and no problems.

15. I totally felt the ones who talked about their parents

My mother worked in a sock factory while I was growing up. The factory closed and moved to Mexico. She went back to school and got a two year associate's degree, but no one wants to hire a woman in her 60s who has hearing problems. She's currently working at Goodwill in third world conditions.
