It seems that the new definition of violent protest is “peaceful.” From Paris to Portland, the media either didn’t report on the protests or wanted us to believe it was just a bunch of people walking along and singing pretty little songs.

As Deanna noted yesterday, San Francisco protestors decided that blocking streets and demanding sanctuary for all illegals, including the criminals, was the way to go.

Ummm…yeah. That went well.

Then there is Portland. They’ve had a time of it lately. First the long running 82nd Avenue of Roses parade was shut down due to threats of violence.

Leftists force a parade to be canceled because some Republicans were going to be in it. https://t.co/P9mP8pXGnQ

Well, yesterday it got worse. This is from the Portland Police Department during the oh so “peaceful” May Day protests:

Families with children at the march are encouraged to immediately leave the #MayDayPDX march due to violence from anarchists.
