Rather than depending on the Crap News Network (see John Chuckman's "Mondo Cane" post), you should
go directly to the source at the Portland, Oregon, IMC, which has more detailed and objective information
on what went down. Use the link on the LA-IMC home page.
http://portland.indymedia.org/ The skinny on what went down:
1. Hundreds gathered at Green's rally on Thursday.
2. Thousands (2000-3000) marched on downtown to Shrub's hotel.
3. Police were intimidated by the numbers, ordered the crowd to disperse.
4. Police began pepper-spraying the demonstrators, including a father and
his children (confirmed despite skeptics who are trying to dispel this story as
a "myth"--what would you expect when the police are guilty of malfeasance).
5. Despite injuries from rubber bullets and pepper spray, as well as being
routed by fascists in riot gear, Portland residents were very happy with what
was accomplished (making their issues known and giving Bush a very public middle
finger) and celebrated in the streets on into the evening.
6. Portland's Peaceful Protest Committee is now looking into police excesses
in the demonstrations.
