Here in Portland it is starting to become a big deal/problem. When it first started the police chief wanted to shut them down because they had no permit. The mayor told them to hold off that this would blow over in a few days. Well, it hasn't. It has gotten bigger and bigger over the last week and is now spilling out into the streets. So they are rerouting buses and traffic and some people are pissed. The mayor is now in a can't win situation. Chances are if he tries to break it up it will turn out ugly and make national news which will only fuel the fire. If he doesn't break it up he sets a precedence that could come back and bite him in the ass.
