Did you go by the "justice center"? Chapman square is full of people. Like, Main & 3rd

As a fellow Portlander, I wonder about that too. I don't know what either of you look like though.

Wow, your appearance has changed a lot from what I remember from the IB times

[Le Guignon]

You look bizarrely familiar.   Like I've seen you at my work or on Trimet before maybe.

Also I love your dogs derpy face.

I have gained some weight, but that was mostly in the last two or three months. I think my hair was probably longer back then too. Also I didn't have a dog.

If you were on Hawthorne at all in the last few years, you may have seen me raving and yelling about the decriminalization of all drugs to take drug cartels power away... or doing sidewalk chalk art, or busking... I was tripping balls a lot back then... >__>   Trimet is also a possibility.

 

My dog's derpy face would probably love you, too. She is very friendly.

I was a bit mainly eating and shopping with friends.

I also lived in Old Town the for a while and I'd commute to Lents for work and go through part of Hawthorne.

I also support the decriminalization of drugs.

My derpy cat.

I looked for it, but I can't find the one pic of myself I put in there.

I've been watching live streams of the protests from time to time. I end up feeling rage and or depressed 

[resurrected]

I feel like I just witnessed a match being made.

It's hard not to. I need to take a break from it myself... lots of trolls in the chats of those livestreams.

You know where. The girl from Portland commenting to you above. Y'all from the same place. Y'all got to both be either single or married. Single on both parts, I'm assuming correctly.

I haven't been at any of the protests. I have too much social anxiety for large crowds like that. I do what I can to at least follow what's going on.

Man, people are dumb in chat of the livestream I'm watching... pointing out that the crowd is mostly white doesn't invalidate their support...

I have blocked soooo many people.... There's a lot of supportive stuff in there too. Plus, sometimes people will have answers to questions and what not. Links with info, etc.

Creepy post, dude.

[Le Guignon]

I stayed to late at work and had to take a bus downtown.  I'm stuck here for the next half hour.  I'm far enough from the Justice Center where it's dead out.  I can hear sirens and what sounds like a helicopter in the distance though.

The livestream I'm watching is on the other side of the river, near Heavenly Donuts

I was joking with Lasty.

Sure you didn't.

[resurrected]

Some people can't take a joke. 

Meh. I have become too mellow this go around.

[Lasty]

lol, the police are making a big show out of boarding up the windows of the police union building as if these people were rioters, but none of the protesters are trying to break the windows. They just won't stop chanting.

It's how i ended in this hole of weed/edibles/alcohol 

[resurrected]

Oh well. Y'all looked like y'all were connecting, and are from the same town.

 I call it like I see it. 

Not going to waste anymore time explaining it. 

 Act like a couple of fragile humans who can't take a joke. Don't care.

It's okay if you tried to make a joke and it didn't land... Your source material made the  punch line dubious, there wasn't anything to work with. Just my thoughts.

[resurrected]

Oh it landed. Y'all are just too bashful. 

It's all good. I've been called a lot of things, but creepy has never been one of them.

Which my wife can vouch for, who frequents these boards. 

[new_disease]

I posted this in another thread but since this one is specific to Portland I'll post this here too. 

Those feds are officers from different agencies. US Marshalls, Federal Protective Service, Customs and Border Protection, and Homeland Security Investigations

plus some other details

[Le Guignon]

The acting secretary of Homeland Security just landed in Portland.
