Look out, Portland, you ain't seen nothin' yet. It's hordes of moms in yellow shirts, chanting

“I don’t see no riot here; take off your riot gear,” and “Feds stay clear, moms are here!” Officers tear gassed them last night, but they came back tonight in bigger numbers.

Gotta love Moms!! "Use your words, use your words".

So I guess all of the property destruction, arson and assault over these last weeks never happened?

No, that all happened. I just think that very often, all you need is an army of moms, and things get fixed.

How cool will it be to be rioting/protesting in the streets if there's a wall of middle aged moms right there with you? Not cool, is the answer.

Like when the moms took over facebook. Edgy young people scattered to a variety of other mediums.

This will all go very well. The first mom to get hit with a plastic bottle pee bomb will just shrug her shoulders and carry on, I’m certain.

I don't see it that way.

If more moms come, armed with their rhyming chants that make sense, the crowds will likely dissipate. So far, they haven't been deterred, so there has likely been one or more who have been hit by plastic bottles. And yes, I believe they'll shrug their shoulders and carry on. And if it grows, in several more days there will be no one left but the feds and the moms, who by that time will have organized little concession areas to provide water and granola bars manned by volunteers.

Because, you know, moms.

So mothers are going to stand by in approval when someone is beaten for carrying an American flag or standing in support of our police?

I’m sure the battle-helmeted Antifa members will feel pangs of sentiment for their mamas and cease their daily riot operation post haste. lol.

I'm interested to see how this will play out. From where I sit, this has the genius of Solomon.

What self-respecting rioter wants the visual of him rioting while he's being protected by a group of moms?

So the "Moms" are not only lying about there not being rioting, but also rioting themselves to prove there is no rioting. Can't make this stuff up.
