All the commentators from far-flung cities or countries claiming to know about PDX can just f*** off and die. Really. Patriot Pride and Antifa are sideshow acts and entirely incidental to the lives of real Portlanders. They are, however, poster-children for the dopes enthralled by the far-right news media. I'm sure will get the neo-con tour bus here soon enough to admire the lunatic fauna. We'll have to get actors or animatronic Antifa protesters to keep them entertained -- just like the mechanical hippos at the Disney jungle tour. The tourists can yell "commie" of "faggot" from the trolley. https://www.dreamstime.com/editorial...-image55204553 We can make a few bucks off the rubes. We need idiots to buy the bad beer and fast food.
Seems you have a hard time deciding if you appreciate tourism from far-flung
places, or not.
Meanwhile, in the DPR PDX, I got a really nice seat-pack for $5 today.. Bike Gallery is holding daily sales leading up to Christmas -- $1 tubes a few days back, less than TK pays for bell peppers in Oakland. $2 bar tape, etc., etc. Sweet!
How appalling! Proposing that Oaklanders should eat tubes instead of
peppers is sooo Marie-Antoinette!
And it was dry and unseasonably warm. https://www.thorindustries.com/wp-co...on-Feature.jpg Skiing tomorrow at Mt. Hood Meadows!

That "la=en" tag looks racist -- will Luis block your rides when he finds out?

The good thing about Luis Enrique Martinez is that he is one of the few people I have seen who got prosecuted for driving while talking on a cell phone. The last set of charges arose out of another Antifa dope-parade in June 2018.
But wait! He used to be the more Anglo Louis Erich Marquez and has a conviction under that name, too. The civil docket indicates he's been evicted a bunch of times and is a small-time looser. Do I hate ass-wipes like that? You bet. I also don't want Patriot Prayer coming to our City just to draw-out the Luis/Louis Marquezs of the world. Without the cameras and coverage, useless gnats like him would be headed to sunny California.
And if I were that cyclist, well, I would have gone a block over and called it good. I'm frequently dodging parades, demonstration, marathons and other events downtown. It's a grid. You go a block over. The only other option is to ride through the protesters full speed or go in punching -- which I might have done before I was sentenced to blood thinners after a couple PEs from a a ski fracture. But not because of politics -- it's something much deeper. Don't block the road! I don't care if you're Fascists, Buddhist monks or the PTA. Get the F*** out of the way!
Yes, what I would like is local government keeping roadways and pedestrian facilities clear. But we're trapped in a First Amendment learning experience, and no matter what, the PPB always takes it in the shorts -- they were too hard, too soft, too many, too few, too many horses, not enough horses, etc., etc. Woe unto them.
