Portland sees peaceful night of protests following withdrawl of federal troops (msn.com)

How is blocking the streets, carrying shields, and hiding your identity with facemasks a "peaceful" protest?

The article says "significantly reduced tensions", not absence.

Either way, BLM is already marked for life as a violent marxist organization, discredited by many black leaders, and rightly so.

A large group of people walking down the street with random improvised weapons is not peaceful.

Neither is cutting off a pigs head, putting it on an American flag, putting a cops hat on it, and lighting it on fire.

So what happened to social distancing and masks? Is Covid not that serious?

Some protesters are wearing masks, but it's by no means the majority.
