Hundreds of mothers and fathers sang ‘please don’t shoot me’ at cops in Portland as they formed a ‘Wall of Moms’ in a bid to ‘protect’ as many as 2,000 demonstrators from the police.
The crowd gathered outside the Portland Justice Center Monday night initially started out with about 1,000 protesters before quickly doubling in size by 9.45 pm.
Demonstrators were shown singing ‘Hands up! Please don’t shoot me’ to the tune of ‘Ring around the Rosie,’ in footage taken of the peaceful protest.
This is what we heard from the mainstream media and the news becomes viral all around the world.
But not one mainstream media decided to report about the ” Portland Moms” when they help Antifa as they try to break the barrier protecting the federal courthouse.

And they’re trying to break down the wood barrier of the Portland federal courthouse. Law enforcement has stayed inside all night per Ted Wheeler’s demand. The “moms” group has moved up front, locked arm-in-arm. #PortlandRiots #antifa pic.twitter.com/oJjH0n9zLD

The only reason they would choose to attack the federal courthouse is because they know federal agents must respond to stop them. https://t.co/0nsD0Wc3qq

One of the “moms” at the Portland riot handed a large piece of concrete to a male to use as a weapon outside the Portland federal courthouse, by the way.

Rioters were successful in tearing off part of the protective barrier of the Portland federal courthouse. They then try to shatter the glass so that they can start a fire inside. They had some success doing that two weeks ago. Video by @NancyRomm. #antifa pic.twitter.com/KpcNi7mp0S

President Trump signed an executive order in June, which deployed federal agents to protect federal monuments and buildings in cities such as Portland. The federal courthouse in Portland, where many of the protests have been held, is under their jurisdiction.
