Protestkundgebung in Portland gegen Bushregierung
am 22.08.02

Polizei setzt Tränengas, Pfefferspray und Gummigeschosse gegen friedliche Demonstranten ein, darunter Eltern mit Babies, alte Menschen und Rollstuhlfahrer.

Der Volkszorn beginnt sich doch zu regen - u.a. gegen die Verschleuderung der Pensionsrücklagen.

Ich hoffe ich bringe da keine Wiederholung an Nachrichten, doch die Leserreaktionen haben mich erschüttert.

Police have opened fire on Bush protestors with rubber bullets, pepper spray and gas. The crowds of people are moving around and regrouping.

The crowd was standing at the barricades and the police had called a state of emergency. Pepper spray was used on group early on. Batons were used on some people. Group included babies in strollers and older people, also people in wheelchairs. Those that could get out of the way were cut off surronded by police. There are snipers on the roofs.

All protestors were given a phone number to write on their arm by legal group that would hook them up with legal services if they are arrested. There are also medic's intersperse in the crowd.

The crowd included union people - longshoremen, anti-war people, people who see BBush as a corporate lackey who is stealing our retirement.

"This will backfire. Even our most ostrich-like citizens are not going to stand for rubber bullets being shot in crowds with babies in strollers. This will hopefully wake people up as to what kind of people are running our country and how much closer to a police state we are moving."


"After the actions by Police thugs in Oregon it's plain to see that now is the time to prepare for serious action against the Bush Administration. They are forcing the American People into a corner with their Police State and Nazi tactics. While they are a formidable force, WE THE PEOPLE as a united community greatly outnumber them. We have JUST CAUSE, and the RIGHT TO REMOVE this administration based on their damaging actions to the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and Civil Liberties in general. We The People have the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to THROW OUT a repressive government. Now is the time to send this message to Bush and his goons. Resign your position NOW or face the wrath of a vicious American People.

There will be a Demonstration in Crawford, Texas this Saturday August 24,2002 when Bush returns to his compound.
