A group of 200-300 has settled in at the intersection of 2nd & Burnside and
named the occupation the "Burnside Freestate". Some are going to try and
spend the night, presumably to block AM rush hour, and are asking for
blankets, food & water.

Yeah, tear gas volleys dispersed most of them at 11Pm, and the remaining
100 or so were arrested. Oh well there's always tomorrow.

By 10 o'clock, the people who weren't locked down drifted away from
fatigue, hunger, the strong urge to piss, and other reasons. By 11 the
police began their assault. I held out til the bitter end, and then
retreated to a local bar, where a resounding version of "Solidarity
Forever" broke out. More plans are already under way in PDX to further fuk
shit up.

Keep up the good fight. The whole world is now fighting against the
fascist, racist American state. It may take a few years to win this battle,
but we will win eventually.

I would like to compliment those in Portland for a fantastic demo. I'm
watching from Seattle and the chaos is inspiring. I saw a group of masked
people literally beat the shit out of cops with a large homeade
sign...pinning them against their own squad car...sending one to the
hospital...all the while sustaining baton blows to the head. What courage.
I only wish there were examples of this from around the country!
