Occupy Portland Protesters Leave Park Peacefully

Hours after peacefully leaving two downtown Portland, Ore., parks on police orders, Occupy demonstrators were still in the streets facing lines of cops in riot gear, barring them from returning to their encampments.

At one point when police started to move the crowd away from the parks, a woman among the demonstrators grabbed a bullhorn and led the protesters in chants of "Whose street? Our street," and "We are peaceful people."

But as crowds returned to the blocks around the park, while police and city workers cleared the debris left behind by the protesters, tempers seemed to rise and fall as there were isolated scuffles and confrontations.

Occupy Portland demonstrators claimed victory after defying the midnight deadline to leave the parks they had called home for 38 days, but then hours later peacefully followed police orders to move out.

Peaceful... seven dead, women raped, property stolen, vandalized, or destroyed.  Their claims don't square up with the truth but that won't stop them from repeating it.

They haven't really left, they plan to re-infest it as soon as the cops leave.
