I guarantee this will make you laugh out loud.
Here’s the police report on the incident.
This evening, Saturday November 5, 2011, five protesters from Occupy Portland handcuffed and bike locked themselves together to a barrel at Terry Schrunk Plaza and have stated they will remain in the park.
Two males have handcuffed themselves to re-bar inside of a 50 gallon barrel filled with hardened cement and various metal fragments. Two other males and a female have used U-shaped bike locks to attach themselves together by the ankle to one of the males attached to the cement drum.
Terry Schrunk Plaza is under Federal jurisdiction and at this time, the Federal Protective Service is choosing not to take enforcement action against the 5 people.
The Occupy Portland General Assembly approved a declaration of “non-violence” toward people, however they rejected the “non-violence” proposal toward property, they rejected a proposal to abide by park rules, and they rejected a proposal to give police information prior to protesting.
Via Verum Serum.
