PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland, Oregon, has denied a permit for a Saturday rally planned by the right-wing group Proud Boys. The city found the group’s estimated crowd size of 10,000 people was too big under coronavirus safety measures, according to a statement released Wednesday by the Portland Parks & Recreation Bureau.

The bureau said it had consulted with Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is also the police commissioner, and decided that those attending would not be able to comply with social distancing rules because of the large numbers of people.

quote:

“We must all do our part to fight the spread of COVID-19 in our community and keep ourselves and each other safe. Events like this are not welcome and are not allowed,” Portland City Commissioner Amanda Fritz, who oversees the city’s parks department, said in the statement.

Don’t have a rally then. Call it a protest.


Easy peazy.

That's why the left NEVER files for a permit, they just gather unlawfully. All of these laws including gun laws are only geared for law-abiding citizens, not for law breakers.

Imagine saying this with a straight face after three months of nightly riots...

These people have no shame. I wonder if they realize how hypocritical they are or if they truly believe their own BS.

I'm sure the ACLU will be taking action swiftly.

Strategically, I think this is a mistake. They'd do Trump a service by not having his campaign stuff anywhere around it. They should just tick to American flags and force the media to call what would be a 100% Pro America rally against an Anti-American Antifa onslaught "Pro-Trump." Plus...there will inevitably be violence, and there will almost certainly be some Proud Boy kicking the shite out of some Antifa idiot. No reason to have them waving a Trump flag while doing it.

How many of the riots had proper permits?

Just rebrand

No longer a protest but a riot.

Don't care who it offends I'm gonna keep saying it: The Left have adopted the mindset and many of the tactics which lead to the rise of Nazism in the 30's, no apologies to Godwin.
