Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of several cities nationwide Thursday in a second night of rallies protesting the election of Donald Trump. While the gatherings were mostly peaceful, late-night vandalism and graffiti turned a march in Portland, Oregon, into what police described as a “riot.”
"Due to extensive criminal and dangerous behavior, protest is now considered a riot. Crowd has been advised," tweeted the Portland Police Department, who pointed the finger at "anarchists."
Thousands turned up in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square early in the night for a peaceful protest and march but, as the night wore on, individuals were seen vandalizing businesses and property in the city's Pearl District and throwing objects at police.

I knew it wouldn't be long before we see people protesting in the streets. They're also protesting right now in New Orleans. Their anger is misdirected though, Trump didn't elect himself. But who do they want running the country instead, in comparison to who has run the country in the past? How many of those protesters done any research as to the true alternatives out there?
