Police fire tear gas at Portland protesters on the 77th night of demos

Silly me... I wish I was sitting in the planning meetings for Portland. I have a unique idea... STOP the demonstrators and lock them up. I hope no one wonders why there will be a 78th night. It is because if you get away with bad behavior...why not do it again. Please contact me if you will allow me to take your money from you with no penalty for me. Sounds stupid...but, 77 nights in Portland shows something.
