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."

So find if any of the arrested are on the Soros AstroTurf payroll.

"Racist graffiti posted on a wall - inside an upstairs restroom!! Posted on Facebook page of one Nico Villareal... who, btw, has just revealed herself to be the prime suspect.

That was my thought as well (post #58).

The people of Portland basically voted for Hillary. The protesters basically voted for Hillary. Seems they should let the protesters do what they want (burn down Portland?) since that’s the way “all” people feel out there. Why put the cops’ lives in jeopardy for this. Now if they people of Portland get upset that “their own kind” is burning down their town, ... maybe??? Maybe they would make it stop themselves. And the cops could be home safe with their families.

Now follow through and prosecute them. Slapping their wrists won’t accomplish anything.

[Blue Highway]

Wow what a sorry looking bunch of criminals here. Bunch of freaks and hope they end up doing time.

Fugly

[Organic Panic]

Good. Now insurance companies and property owners can directly sue everyone involved

[jonascord]

They were cited and released. They are expected to show up in court. Think misdemeanor speeding ticket...They are back on the street.

Mayor Hales was on their side, hating Trump, like a good democrat, and they were just exercising their 1st A right of free speech and assembly. These kids were just a little rambunctious.

Not I.
