Downtown. Sitting next to my 9th floor, open window. Listening to yelling, cheering, glass breaking, and loud detonation of M80’s (I think, not tear gas as I would likely smell that) and cops through blaring megaphones yell, “line up.” All happening two blocks away. Scary as all get-out, and here I am safe and secure in my condo. Gives one pause, for sure...where am I? Portland, Oregon USA? Germany, 1938? It’s getting confusing...
