Port Shuts Down with Protest
Two anti-Wall Street
demonstrators arrested
Hours after the Port of Portland shut down two of
its four terminals when police arrested two people and
seized weapons Monday, about 400 anti-Wall Street
protesters briefly disrupted a third terminal.
Protesters blocked movement Monday night into
an area where workers were attempting to unload a
ship in the Rivergate industrial area in north Portland.
The terminal tenant responded by sending workers
home. By about 5:30 p.m., the protesters announced
they were leaving.
The port pre-emptively shut down two terminals
before Monday's demonstration was to begin. Secu
rity concerns were raised after police found two people
in camouflage clothing with a gun, sword and walkie-
talkies who said they were doing reconnaissance.
Kari Koch, a spokeswoman for Occupy Portland,
said the two people taken into custody were not part
of the demonstration.
