21 Dec 2020
A group of anti-lockdown, pro-Trump protesters forced their way into the Oregon Capitol Monday. One report shows some of the protesters were armed with rifles, handguns, and even a pitchfork.
A large group forced their way into the capitol as the legislature met on the opening day of the state’s third special session. The protesters expressed opposition to the state’s ordering of certain businesses to close.

About 300 demonstrators from Patriot Prayer and a variety of groups came to the capitol to see the legislative meeting to vent their opinions about restrictions and about the election.
But they were thwarted and disturbed when they found out that they couldn’t get in to listen to a special session on pandemic relief and virus restrictions, that the session had been closed to the public allegedly because of virus restrictions. Unless a session is a work session, it’s required to be open to the public. But only lawmakers, some staff and reporters were permitted inside the building.
