Tonight a group of about 20 folks, mostly in black, gathered outside the Donald E. Long juvenile detention center at 1401 NE 68th Avenue in Portland. Several anarchist slogans were spray-painted on the outer walls, including "Jail the guards, burn the prisons" and circle-A.



We played an anti-cop hip-hop and punk mix really loudly over our super awesome janky-ass bumping dance chariot (aka mobile sound system).



Rupture which occurred included but was not necessarily limited to:

-Kids inside pounded on the windows, danced to the music, and flicked lights in cells on and off

-Graffiti on the outer walls

-Smoke bombs thrown over the walls

-Martinelli's bottle thrown over the wall (unfortunately neither the bottle nor the wall broke)

-Roman candles set off

-Traffic was somewhat impeded for a few minutes here and there

-Unexpected solidarity from local residents

-Spontaneous dance party on the train home after the demo



It should be noted that there was almost zero police interference.



Jail the guards! Burn the prisons!
