10/5/06: PORTLAND, Ore. — At least seven people were
detained during a protest march through downtown Portland streets
Thursday afternoon, one of several such rallies nationwide against the
Bush administration
Police, some afoot and others on bicycles and horses, monitored the marchers, who had a permit. Some officers were in riot gear.
The crowd numbered 700 to 800, and were mostly of college age. The
throng made several stops, including the federal courthouse and the
offices of The Oregonian newspaper.
The protesters who were detained apparently did not follow police instruction to get out of the street.Protesters chanted: “Impeach Bush” and carried signs, including one that read: “We Can’t Wait for 2008.”
There were reports of similar rallies in New York and Chicago.
The Portland chapter of the group sponsoring the rally called itself the World Can’t Wait
