Thousands of Portlanders come to wait out the eviction deadline with Occupy Portland protesters and leave after it appears the city has granted a reprieve. Police move in to evict Occupy campers a few hours later. Police arrest 51 people. Protesters, energized by their eviction, march through downtown as part of a nationwide demonstration against banks and the financial industry.
Police use pepper spray on the crowd and make dozens of arrests. Prayer vigil begins at City Hall to protest the city's anti-camping ordinance.
Protesters unsuccessfully try to set up camp in the South Park blocks. Police arrest more than 15 people. Occupiers protest at the Port of Portland, as part of a "day of action" by Occupy groups along the West Coast. The port tells longshore workers for two terminals to stay home. City commissioners approve a resolution "that corporations should not receive the same legal rights as natural persons do, that money is not speech and that independent expenditures should be regulated" in political campaigns.
A couple of hundred demonstrators gather in Pioneer Courthouse Square for an Occupy the Courts rally. They call for a constitutional amendment to establish that corporations aren't people and that money --via campaign donations -- doesn't constitute speech in Occupy the Courts. May Occupiers had blocked Southwest Main Street, at the landmark elk fountain. Tension spiraled between the growing presence of the Occupiers and a city running out of patience.
An Oct. Adams at first refused. The city reopened Main Street, but the camp grew until people made the parks their home. Occupiers established a kitchen that fed 1, people a day.
The camp had its own medical clinic, trash collection, security force, day care center and a library, all nestled under a canopy of plastic tarps hung from the parks' huge elms. The social services proved the Occupation's undoing. They made the camps a magnet for the homeless and mentally ill.
Street kids took over part of the camp. The Occupy leaders who had begun protesting the top 1 percent of the economy now found themselves caretakers of the bottom 1 percent. Organizers—many of whom went home at night to sleep—argued over how to handle troublemakers.
Occupy leaders never articulated a clear protest message, and they expended their energy trying to control the camps as the parks became mud pits that stank of rotting food and sewage. Adams, who resisted evicting the campers, fought to keep control. Kinney told the Guardian that he was charged with trespassing and held by police for several hours.
But by the time he returned, protesters had pushed law enforcement away from the house. In videos shared across social media, protesters can be seen on Tuesday yelling for police to leave the area, with some kicking and banging on a Portland police vehicle.
Kinney explained that he sees his fight as going beyond protecting his family from being turfed out in the middle of a pandemic and a statewide eviction moratorium.
The loan was transferred several times between companies, and in Clear Recon Corporation initiated the process to foreclose on the home. In November, after a series of failed legal battles, the family filed a formal request to the US Supreme Court to examine this case.
