I call on all peaceful protesters to get a clown wig and nose and start a Portland Clown Patrol to walk the streets with our occupiers when they come, (“Defense secretary moves to federalize 200 Oregon National Guard members for Portland deployment: Read the memo,” Sept. 28).
It will look better on the news to walk with them, laughing and having fun in what Trump think is hell, rather than to try fighting with them. It’s not the troops’ fault they were deployed here; they are caught up in the same circus as the rest of us.
There is a long history of fighting tyranny with humor. And it makes a much better counter point…
