Do they not realize that it’s this kind of antics that cements the will of Trump supporters?
Hundreds marched through Seattle and Olympia Friday and a group in Portland burned several U.S. flags as activists protested the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
The flag-burning occurred on Portland’s Pioneer Courthouse Square, called “Portland’s living room” because it’s a popular hangout for all types of people.
On Friday afternoon, hundreds of anti-Trump protesters gathered there before the start of a march that was expected to draw thousands.
They included a small group of flag-burners, many of them masked and clad in black. At first they had trouble because of the rain, but using lighter fluid they torched at least half a dozen flags. An ember briefly fell on the jacket of one participant but the fire was quickly put out.
