Still going on and spreading:

Anti-Trump protests spread across nation

CNN)Thousands took to the streets of US cities again late Friday and early Saturday to protest Donald Trump's election, with highways blocked, some arrests made and a man shot at a march in Portland, Oregon.
Protests have been underway for four nights since Trump's unexpected victory in the divisive presidential election, and more demonstrations are expected throughout the weekend.

Angry crowds gathered once again outside the 58-story Trump Tower, the President-elect's home in New York.
"Words can't describe how disgusted I am that he was elected over Hillary (Clinton)," Shoshi "Rabin" Rabinowitz said, explaining her motivation for being there.
Fellow protester Nick Truesdale said, "I think he needs to really address all the divisive, hateful things he's said in the past and recant them, denounce them."
Reacting to the demonstrations, Trump tweeted Thursday night, "Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!"

The President-elect appeared more conciliatory Friday morning, saying: "Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!"

Protests across US

Among the cities that were scenes of Friday protests were Los Angeles; New Haven, Connecticut; Orlando; Chicago; Boston; Asheville, North Carolina; Nashville; and Columbus, Ohio, and there were marches at schools in Denver and Omaha, Nebraska.
Groups across the country are angry about policies Trump has promised to enforce concerning immigration, the environment, LGBT rights and other issues.
The Facebook page for a protest planned in Burlington, Vermont, said: "Come protest the xenophobia, racism, homophobia, misogyny, and climate science denial of the Trump/Pence regime!! Come show your support for our Muslim, queer, immigrant, and female family!!"
The protests were mostly peaceful, but some were marred by violence.
In Portland Oregon, a man was injured in a shooting early Saturday on the Morrison Bridge during a protest march.
The suspect was believed to be in a vehicle on the bridge when a confrontation unfolded with a member of the crowd, Portland police said in a statement. The suspect got out of the vehicle and fired multiple shots before fleeing.
The victim's injuries were not life-threatening, and he was treated at a hospital.
Protesters also blocked the street outside Portland City Hall on Friday. Police tried to disperse the demonstrators, but tensions remained high.
"Burning projectiles being thrown at officers," police posted on its Twitter page Friday night.

This action is following burning projectiles being thrown at officers.

City officials earlier had appealed for calm after a Thursday night protest by about 4,000 people turned violent. Windows on businesses were broken, and a car dealership was vandalized. Twenty-six people were arrested, police said.

"We had some anarchists who hijacked that event and did terrible damage to our neighbors and friends," Mayor Charlie Hales said at a news conference. "They spread violence and fear and detracted from the legitimate exercise of those First Amendment rights."
In Boston, hundreds gathered on Boston Common for a "Love Rally in the Common." Organizers said on Facebook: "Let's unite together to peacefully show all of those whom Donald Trump or his supporters have put down that we still care about them, and to give them an opportunity to have their voices be heard."

Some arrests were made in Los Angeles -- but the police department was not able to provide immediate details on the number arrested.
In Chicago, police told CNN they are investigating an incident this week in which a group of people reportedly beat a man while yelling that he voted for Trump.

Cell phone video captured the man in a minor traffic accident Wednesday on Chicago's West Side.
The 49-year-old driver, David Wilcox, told CNN affiliate WGN-TV that a car scraped the side of his vehicle as he was about to make a left turn at a busy intersection.
"I heard a lady yell something about 'that guy is one of those Trump supporters,' " Wilcox told the station. "I turned and said to her, 'That has nothing to do with this.' "
The situation then apparently escalated as bystanders yelled anti-Trump taunts at Wilcox. The video shows Wilcox being knocked to the pavement, repeatedly being punched and kicked as a handful of people gather around him.

Interstates blocked

In Miami, hundreds walked down Biscayne Boulevard chanting, "Love Trumps Hate," and carrying signs with messages such as "How many judges will it take to ruin America?" video from CNN affiliate WSVN-TV showed.
Some protesters walked onto Interstate 95 and surrounded cars, bringing four lanes of traffic to a standstill, according to the WSVN footage.
In Iowa City, Iowa, about 75 protesters shut down I-80 briefly, police Sgt. Chris Akers said. Nobody was arrested, he said.

n Dallas, protesters dragged and kicked a Trump piñata through the streets. A store window was reportedly smashed.
American flag burned
In Atlanta, about 500 people marched downtown, said Atlanta police spokesman Lukasz Sajdak. They tried to walk onto a highway, but law enforcement officers turned them back. No arrests were made.
An American flag was burned near Georgia's state Capitol, something that didn't please protesters Sanjay and Akshita Mendonca, who say they voted for Clinton.
"The current situation is not good for us and our children," said Sanjay Mendonca, 40. "I'm here for my kids because I don't want them to think we didn't do something. ... A lot of people feel hopeless right now."
When asked why he was protesting, 20-year-old Alex Hariri said, "Trump does not support anyone in the community I know. I'm a gay Middle Eastern man. He's against everything I am."

Im so glad these tolerant liberals care about those who might need emergency services when they block freeways.

Nothing like a good beating also to show your "tolerance" to others. I hope this wakes up normal americans.

Cnn doesnt want to tell you about la arrests either in this article, but i will in the next post.

LAPD breaks up anti-Trump protest downtown; about 150 are arrested

About 150 anti-Donald Trump protesters were arrested in downtown Los Angeles early Saturday morning after refusing the LAPD's order to disperse on what marked the fourth night of unrest following the presidential election.

One by one, police led the protesters out of Grand Park, securing their hands with zip-ties before loading them onto school buses. Protesters who threw rocks at police were shot at with beanbag guns outside Grand Park.

A demonstrator named Tarik, who refused to give his last name, said he couldn't understand why police chose to arrest so many people after a protest that was largely calm.

"By my views of what is just and what is right, this is wrong," he said.

The demonstration drew an estimated 3,000 protesters. Pumping their fists in the air, demonstrators cheered and whistled as they marched among honking cars in the streets around City Hall Friday evening, sometimes chanting, “Not my president.”

By midnight, the crowd had marched from City Hall to LA Live and toward the Westlake neighborhood before circling back downtown. As they passed apartment buildings, people stepped out of their homes to cheer.

When the crowd returned to City Hall just before midnight, the LAPD issued a dispersal order, calling the gathering a “violent congregation” and threatening to use less-than-lethal force if necessary.

A group of protesters gathered at Grand Park and refused to leave, including one dressed as a brick-wall that read, “Wall off Trump.” As police surrounded the park, several demonstrators panicked and ran, while others were blocked in.

“You’re not going home, you had your chance," an LAPD officer told someone who asked to leave.

Shortly thereafter, police began making the arrests.

Earlier in the evening, the LAPD had detained two people, while the California Highway Patrol arrested several for vandalism and one protester who allegedly threw a thermos at officers. Demonstrators who saw the arrests yelled at officers, who then led the suspects away.

The CHP, whose officers blocked on ramps and off ramps throughout downtown, thwarted a group of demonstrators from entering the 110 Freeway.

“We’re trying to take a proactive approach to prevent them from getting on there,” CHP Officer Stephan Brandt said.

The LAPD had made its presence felt earlier on Friday than in past nights, posting at least two dozen officers wearing riot helmets in the middle of Spring Street near City Hall around 8:30 p.m. But the officers stepped out of the way as the group began to march, remaining still even as several protesters berated them and accused them of supporting Trump.

“Once they start being disruptive is when we’re going to take enforcement action,” LAPD Officer Tony Im said. “We’re just allowing them to voice their opinion and just make sure they’re not hurting anyone.”

They rioted against a clean election before it was cool. I bet they listened to the American anthem on vinyl before heading out.

71 arrested after Trump protest turns into riot

PORTLAND, Ore. -- For the fifth straight night, a group of protesters marched to show their opposition to Donald Trump's election victory.

And again the protest turned into a riot, with people blocking streets, throwing bottles and flares at officers and even attacking a news crew, according to Portland police.

Police arrested 71 people for a variety of crimes. Officers took 67 people to the Multnomah County Jail. Five other protesters were given criminal citations.

All 71 people who were arrested were given a traffic citation for failing to obey a police officer.

Just before 9 p.m., police said protesters were dragging metal barricades onto MAX tracks. TriMet officials urged people to avoid traveling downtown due to heavy delays. Click here for TriMet alerts

Update: Portland Police say protestors are putting metal barricades across SW Yamhill blocking MAX tracks. More people...Posted by Christine Pitawanich/KGW on Saturday, November 12, 2016

Protesters initially met at Pioneer Courthouse Square at 6 p.m. Saturday night before beginning their march at around 6:45 p.m. The group of a couple hundred protesters was much smaller than previous nights, when there were thousands of protesters.

The march was not permitted.

Police were providing constant Twitter updates on the march locations, arrests and other announcements throughout the night.

Tweets by PortlandPolice

Earlier Saturday, Mayor Charlie Hales and Police Chief Mike Marshman urged protesters to stay home and to voice their displeasure with Trump's election in other ways.

Going to the streets for another night is not going to keep Donald Trump from taking office. It isn’t going to change anything,” said Hales.

“If you’re upset with the election, please don’t come out and protest,” he said. “We are done with criminal activity in this city. It’s time to move on and to move forward.”

The pleas from Hales and Marshman came after four nights of protests and riots, in which traffic was disrupted, buildings vandalized, one person shot and more than 40 people arrested.

So peaceful, so tolerant, so loving.

17 arrested, 1 shot as fourth night of Trump protests turn into chaos

PORTLAND, Ore. – For the fourth straight night, anti-Trump protesters took to the streets of downtown Portland, and for the second straight night the protest turned into a melee.

Seventeen people were arrested throughout the night and one protester was shot on the Morrison Bridge early Saturday morning.

The protest began as a peaceful rally at City Hall at 5 p.m. before protesters split into what appeared to be three groups at around 7 p.m. There were at least 1,000 protesters and police said there were reports of vandalism and assault.

One group, organized by Portland's Resistance, stayed at the rally in City Hall. Despite pleas from police earlier in the day, some protesters began marching on Southwest 4th Avenue, only to be stopped by police, who advised the crowd to march on a facilitated northbound route

A second group followed police orders and began marching north. Police said deviating from the route was not permitted.

"We will facilitate a march as long as it's on the streets we ask them to stay on," said Sgt. Pete Simpson of Portland police.

However, the group of protesters that headed north on Southwest 4th Avenue attempted strayed from the police route and attempted to cross the Burnside Bridge, only to be stopped by police. The group headed back downtown and at around 9 p.m. joined with the third group that stayed in a standoff with police on Southwest 4th Avenue.

Over the next couple hours, flash bangs and tear gas were used to disperse protesters, some of whom were throwing burning projectiles at police, on Southwest 4th Avenue. Police advised the crowd that their gathering was considered an unlawful assembly and they were subject to arrest. Still, the crowd continued to march elsewhere through downtown.

“It’s been a very aggressive crowd toward the officers," Simpson said.

eparate from the downtown area, a fourth group emerged at around 8:45 p.m. on the eastside and attempted to cross the Hawthorne Bridge westbound, only to be stopped by police. At that time, Interstate 5 was closed between the Marquam and Fremont bridges and Interstate 84 was closed at the junction with I-5.

In the early morning hours, a protester was shot on the Morrison Bridge. The victim is expected to survive.

The City Hall rally was organized by Portland’s Resistance. Leader Greg McKelvey said the group would not march and the group stayed at City Hall while other protesters splintered into other groups.

“This group is going to remain peaceful and what we have tonight is beautiful," McKelvey said. "My group will hold this forum and just try to build community…and get people to mobilize our platform.”

During the rally, McKelvey called on Portland to acknowledge and rectify its racist past, and asked the crowd of supporters to be a model for the rest of the country.

"We have to make sure Portland can be a progressive model for the rest of the country," he said.]

If thats "progress" count me out, thats chaos and lawlessness.

The Socialist Paid Protesters Behind Anti-Trump Riots

Anti Trump Protests Around the Nation Turn Violent

Portland. New York. Los Angeles. Oakland. All of these cities are being hit by paid protests turning violent in the wake of the Trump election victory. The message of “Not My President” and “Die Whites” are promoting fear and divisiveness during a time when America needs to come together to support its lawfully elected President Elect. Donald Trump is the next President of the United States and no amount of protesting will change that.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign fed on the fears of progressive students and promoted hateful lies about millions of American citizens. These riots are a direct result of her hateful rhetoric.

Professional Protesters

Professional “community organizers” fire up local communities to rally behind the causes of whomever is paying their salary. In many Democratic run cities these organizers are a major part of the political machine that drives voters to the polls and steers voter registration efforts. According to Salary.com, a professional community organizer can earn around $39,335 per year in salary. If the organization is well funded they can earn additional compensation in the form of travel and food expenses and bonuses for registering more democrat voters. Large donors like George Soros and other well known left leaning billionaires have been accused of throwing their money behind efforts like BLM, the Occupy movement, and others to advance their progressive agenda.

With enough donor money, a eager young democrat could make a living posting on facebook and yelling into a bullhorn. Their unchecked messages of fear and false narratives are driven by money and often inspire violence to create the biggest media impact.

James O’Keefe pointed out in his successful sting operation of DNC operatives that violence is often staged to maximize media exposure. These progressive professional protesters may be the pawns of Hillary’s allies who are bitter about her unexpected loss. Angry billionaire Clinton supporters are likely to express their frustration at the American voters who helped Trump win the election. This may be done through funding these organized protests that are leading to violent results.

Who is Behind #NotMyPresident Riots?

According to CNN, reporter Jean Casarez traced the protests back to the hashtag #socailistadvantage. Casarez said:

“This was promoted by Socialist Advantage and one of the things they said the purpose of this rally was for was, was to not only protest the election of Donald Trump the 45th president of the United States but also to protest that the Democratic party had let them down.”

#SocialistAdvantage is linked to the group Socialist Alternative. They take credit for the violent protests in this post published on November 9, 2016 titled: WE NEED MASS RESISTANCE TO TRUMP AND A NEW PARTY OF THE 99%.

The proof of their work can also be seen in some of their tweets praising the unlawful acts of their supporters:

#NotMyPresident and #ResistTrump are huge! But what was behind these results? https://t.co/G5ECUdOmf5

— SocialistAlternative (@SocialistAlt) November 10, 2016

The group is responsible for creating noise around issues like 15 Now, the push for a $15 an hour minimum wage hike, and #Movement4Bernie, a campaign to promote the Bernie Sanders presidential bid. Their political position is far left and based on the ideology of Marxism and Trotskyism.

With all the backlash against the Citizens United ruling, democrats have been calling for transparency in the funding of political campaigns. However, shadow funding of organizations that promote public protests that have led to riots and looting in cities like Baltimore and Ferguson has gone unchallenged. Where is the transparency in who funds these movements?

This election has proven that most Americans do not want a corrupt society that is funded by the rich and powerful. They want to live without fear of persecution of their beliefs, a good job, and freedom from over taxation, just as our founding fathers envisioned when they drafted our constitution.
