    that protects the building and its occupants from anything that can be
    hurled at it.

    Work is nearing completion on seven large, hinged barricades that can be dropped down in front of the west side entrance to the building that
    faces Southwest Third Avenue and Lownsdale Square. That is where large
    groups of protesters repeatedly gathered during months of social justice protests that followed the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man,
    by Minneapolis police in March 2020. Projectiles ranged from rocks to
    ball bearing fired from large slingshots to industrial-grade fireworks.

    Family with 3 children stranded overnight near Government Camp
    The protests went on for months, damaging Portland?s national reputation
    for livability. Although many of the confrontations were fueled by the
    Trump Administration?s decision to send additional federal forces to
    Portland to defend the building, funding for the current security
    upgrade was sought by and approved during the Biden Administration. As
    first reported by the Oregonian/OregonLive last September, Congress
    approved $112.5 million to support upgrades to ?harden? about 100 to 150 federal courthouses ?against individuals or groups seeking to breach
    court facilities and disrupt the judicial process? for fiscal year 2023.

    The barriers are like hinged airplane hangar doors with shielded upper
    view screens. The estimated cost of the local upgrade was estimated at
    $4.5 million, including renovations to the main west entry and to
    employee entrances on the north and side sides of the building."

    The picture of the nearly complete installation is mildly amusing.
    If they ever need to use this security system I expect that it will be because of magaloons howling at the moon.

    It's Trump's fault, of course, that you need that "wall". Y'all ought
    to make him pay the 4.5 magamegabucks.

    It's always Trump, Trump, Trump. And the Garden of Oregon's prideful
    city, (double meaning there) hasn't been livable in at least the past
    six or seven years... unless of course you are a drugged up immigrant to
    the PNW.

    I really do need to adjust my filters to kill all subthreads originating
    from the TBoob, but anyways...

    Yes, what you quoted above is ridiculous as usual, but I see two others
    that are also filled with leftist nonsense.

    That is where large
    groups of protesters repeatedly gathered during months of social justice >>> protests that followed the murder of George Floyd,

    First, they weren't protests. They were riots.
    Second, he wasn't murdered. He died of a drug overdose.

    Dumb Boob must live in another reality.
