That's nice...However, only 9% of the electorate supported nominating Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. The vast majority that abstained did so because neither candidate was acceptable. I didn't support Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders or any of the other clowns propped up by the (corrupt) establishment. I'm not protesting the election, as I don't really care, and think that American political system is pretty much a joke. I'll vote again when it starts taking itself seriously.

Apparently, nearly 50 percent of the electorate agreed with me...That said, good luck to whoever's occupying that office. On that note, this will be my last post on CD about Trump, Clinton or the 2016 Presidential election. I'm over it and thinking about other things (political and non-political).

Considering that a number of high-profile recent protests (Ferguson, etc) have attracted a number of non-local participants from far and wide, it's plausible that some of them are not local.

How many protesters were not arrested?

Wiki estimates there were 4,000 protesters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_P...,_Oregon_riots

I see only 112 were actually detained and booked.

It's ridiculous to extrapolate a generalization from the Multnomah County website and a TV interview.
