#HandsOff photos of protests in Portland, St. Johns, and Tigard Oregon. As well as some from Vancouver Washington. These were collected from all over Facebook. (I think one from Portland Maine might have slipped in somehow!)
Not exactly sure what these guys are protesting about; there seems to be a number of issues in the mix, some local, some of wider applicability. I suspect there's a fair sweep of libertarianism in their approach, which I'm generally against, but they appear to despise Klaus Schwab and the WEF and that's cool with me. They at least have a right to have their voice heard.
Photos taken during the protests that erupted when the National Socialist Movement (Neo-Nazis) marched to the Phoenix Federal building. The NSM was there to protest a federal judge's decision to 'water down' the SB1070 immigration legislation. I've never seen a more disgusting group of people assembled in one place, but it was their right to have their march and to say what they wanted to say. Fortunately the Phoenix Police Department was there to keep things under control. Pepper spray was used but that was only when the anarchists got too close. Quite a day I can tell you.
Protesting the new black format and "followers" vs contacts. No posts on Flickr except these protests until Monday. A PROTEST.

Anti-trump protesters marching from Union Square leave the sidewalk and take over Broadway, chanting "not my president."
The Swedish Democrats held a political rally in Handen today. As per usual there was also a street protest by a few left wing parties, including the Socialist Justice Party. Fifteen police vehicles and fifty police officers surrounded Poseidon's Square during the rally. I decided to stay and document the event.
I was stunned, overwhelmed, and astonished by the protest at Shahbag. Within minutes I was engulfed by the spirit, energy, and excitement of the crowd there, immediately drawn in the public's desire to get "proper" justice. The environment was phenomenal--there were people from all backgrounds, ages, and religions--and the air was electric with the slogans, optimism, and hopefulness of the crowd.
The country has finally united against an enemy that has burdened it with corruption and hatred even before it was born.

June 22, 1996. A dozen members of a self-anointed and unwelcome KKK group came to Ann Arbor to hold a thumb-in-your-eye rally at City Hall. A protest group, the National Women's Rights Organizations Coalition (NWROC) formed to oppose them. After the rage had been mounting for awhile, this simpleminded redneck wandered up, wearing a Confederate-flag T-shirt and drinking a bottle of Lipton tea. The crowd tore off after him, he fell, and the mob pounced, striking for blood. Keshia Thomas, horrified, threw herself over him to stave off the angry blows. Moments earlier, Thomas, 18, had been in the NWROC group, shouting at the KKK. It was a heroic and passionate moment in a crazy afternoon, well captured in these photographs.
In a story in People Magazine, Thomas was quoted as saying, "You don't beat a man up because he doesn't believe the same things you do. He's still somebody's child."
The guy never dropped his tea bottle . . . .

Protest against Ikea opening
Protesters and local residents gathered against the first German Inner City Ikea. Police and Security is protecting the entrances.
Within 2 years Ikea erected a 7 story bunker building in the heart of Altona-Altstadt, a multi ethnical residential area. Protesters make Ikea accountable for increasing rents, increasing traffic and pollution and the effects of a wider gentrification, which will force people with lower income out of their inhabited area and local business to shut down.

So this was one of three protests that was going on during my walk three blocks to pick up lunch. At one point two of the protests met on the street and one had to wait for the other to turn before they could continue.
They are very interesting to watch (and hear from the office where I work) as they use firecrackers and drums to make as much noise as possible to draw attention to their cause. I am not sure what this one was protesting, but it is a daily occurence on this street.

London Students in Anti Vietnam War Demonstration
Throughout 1968 countless anti-Vietnam war protests were held all over both the UK and the world. Many of these demonstrations descended into violent riots, the most severe in Paris and Mexico City. On Sunday 17th March a crowd of protestors, largely made up of students, clashed with police outside the American embassy in London, in what is now known as the Battle of Grosvenor Square. The march was lead by Tariq Ali and Vanessa Redgrave, culminating in a portion of the 25,000 strong crowd being cordoned off in the square by police, both mounted and on foot. Mick Jagger was present for the ensuing violence, resulting in the song Street Fighting Man; even ‘sleepy London town’ had joined in the global activism.
This photograph, taken outside The London School of Economics and Political Science in May of 1968, shows students protesting against the support of the British government for the American war with Vietnam. The comparatively peaceful sit-in was comprised of around 200 students of LSE, largely made up of the Socialist Society, and was hoped to be the start of a revolution of the French model by its organisers. Here we see a section of the multitude of students, an air of hope and positivity as they congregate outside the university. The crowd has an undulating uniform surface, reflecting the shared ideologies of the gathering, punctuated by the static policeman in the foreground.
