Portland Police arrested 71 people during Saturday evening's anti-Donald Trump demonstrations in downtown Portland. It's the highest number of arrests since post-election protests began last week.

Saturday evening's protest was the fifth night of demonstrations following last week's election of Donald Trump as President. At various times during the protest, objects like glass bottles and road flares where thrown at police by marchers.

According to Portland Police, 67 people were booked into the Multnomah County Jail overnight. Five people were given criminal citations. All of those arrested were given traffic citations for failing to obey a police officer.

The people arrested Saturday ranged in age from 18 to 54.

Arrested were:

Saturday's Portland protest came at the same time as thousands demonstrated in the nation's three largest cities. According to the New York Times , marchers in New York City converged on Trump Tower, while protesters marched around one of Trump's buildings in Chicago. In Los Angeles, thousands of people filled a 12-block stretch of Wilshire Boulevard.

Portland's Resistance is planning a candlelight vigil late Sunday afternoon in support of the protester who was shot on the Morrison Bridge early Saturday. The vigil is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Salmon Street Springs at Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

Portland Police have arrested two people on attempted murder charges for the shooting. According to police, Shamar Xavier Hunter and Steffon Marquise Corothers were in a vehicle on the bridge when they confronted protesters.

Both are scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Multnomah County Court. Hunter, 18, is charged with six counts of attempted murder and one count of unlawful use of a weapon. Corothers, 18, faces one count each of attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon.

The person who was shot has not yet been identified, but is expected to recover, according to police.

Another protest was also planned for Sunday afternoon. The group Families for Peaceful Protest plans to gather in Portland's South Park Blocks at 2 p.m., the walk to Pioneer Courthouse Square. On its Facebook page, the group said it would proceed with plans, despite being discouraged by police, but would encourage participants to disperse if the protest turned violent.

Vandalism at Reed College: Two bathrooms in the library at Reed College were vandalized Saturday with racist, homophobic and anti-semetic graffiti, including references to the presidential election. Photos of the graffiti have been widely circulated on Facebook.

Kevin Myers, the college's director of communications, said the damage occurred in bathrooms on the library's second and third floor.

"A lot of community members use that building, so we don't know who the perpetrator is," Myers said Sunday morning. "Either way, it's not good."

Reed has had problems with graffiti in the past, but Myers said that the damage Saturday was the first since last week's election. The graffiti was immediately covered up with butcher paper, and maintenance crews painted over it late Saturday night.

"We won't stand for this," Myers said. "Anyone who wants to cause harm to the Reed community should expect an immediate and vigorous response."

GOP calls for resignation, National Guard: While Portland's protest turned into a riot Saturday night, the chairman of Oregon's Republican Party reiterated his call for Mayor Charlie Hales to resign, and called on Gov. Kate Brown to mobilize Oregon's National Guard to prevent further violence and damage to public and private property.

In a statement on the Oregon.gop website , chairman Bill Currier said public resources were being stretched too thin to deal with the ongoing protests.

"It is time for Governor Brown to step up to the plate and do her job," Currier said. "Instead of ordering ODOT to place trucks on freeway on-ramps to assist in closing the freeways to facilitate Portland rioters, the appropriate and responsible thing for Governor Brown to do is to place National Guard trucks and State Troopers in those areas to block these unlawful protests and put the safety of innocent citizens first."

James Matthew Mattox was also arrested at a “Slave Labor” protest in September 2016.

Picture the same in both stories.

” the chairman of Oregon’s Republican Party reiterated his call for Mayor Charlie Hales to resign, and called on Gov. Kate Brown to mobilize Oregon’s National Guard to prevent further violence and damage to public and private property.”

As far as I’m concerned the mayor should give their spoiled brats lots of space to destroy - that leftist cesspool deserves.

Looking through the names, I’d bet a half dozen or so just made it on Trump’s initial deportation list.
