Organizers cancel 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade in Portland, after protesters (ANTIFA) threaten to shut it down.
A threatening email has derailed one of the Portland Rose Festival's signature events, and spurred new debate about the ongoing political protests in Portland.

Originally scheduled this Saturday, April 29, the parade is meant to highlight the local community and businesses along Southeast 82nd Avenue, aiming to turn around the negative perception many people have of the area. It started in 2007 and has since become a popular event on the Rose Festival calendar.

This year's parade was once again set to feature the Multnomah County Republican Party as one of the many groups slated to march, but that inclusion drew ire from some of the city's left-leaning protest groups.

"You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads so please consider your decision wisely," the anonymous email said, telling organizers they could cancel the Republican group's registration or else face action from protesters. "This is non-negotiable."

FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Where are you at, Mayor Wheeler? How about you, Portland Police? Oh, I forgot, this is a sanctuary city where anything not meeting the agenda is shut down by anarchists.

I live 5 minutes from se 82nd and its a real shit hole. Drugs being sold at every bus stop, graffiti covering every building, glory hole sex shops and 24/7 nude escorts every block, and tweaks always running across the road like they WANT to be hit. Ive even seen guys in pink tutus blowing bubbles in the middle of a rain storm 5a

No parade will change that

Five minutes? I'm five blocks, and I'm actually close to the normal parade route. Your description of the route area is very exaggerated, and it's not about changing the street with a parade. They have a right to hold this parade without being lumped in with Nazis.

Any local food carts, shops, etc. that were involved, have now lost out on business, and the community loses a fun social gathering. A community of all cultures. Sorry, this event has gone on since 2007 without these problems, and it's disgusting. Commissioner Fish is the only city personnel I've heard condemn any groups wanting to disrupt this.

Well it's not the roses' fault they were subjects of that wicked male's gaze.

They didn't ask to be objectified.

The roses are victims.

We should have parades for victims of such things.

Roses not bad.

Looking at roses bad.

Just now seeing this. Thanks for posting, OP. Antifa is domestic terrorism, and it's time the good guys take what's been happening in Berkeley to Portland. We have to make these terrorists back down everywhere and maybe we'll get some peace. They need to know that anywhere they attempt to shut down free speech, there will be patriots there to stop them from doing so.

Here's your pin.

What's wrong with them is they aren't against actual fascists, just mainstream conservatives, and they use threats and actual violence to silence people they disagree with.

FYI to anyone in the area. There will still be a lunch to show support for the local businesses. My dad and I plan to go down tomorrow with Trump shirts and hats on.

Come down and show support and that you won't be intimidated by a group of jobless idiots

82nd was a bad area for a long time. Its a long stretch of shit and this parade has really helped sway the public views of the area. Bars are booming and small business are profitable without the gangs around anymore. Now they have to worry about crybaby liberals blocking their appreciation parade.
