In mehreren amerikanischen Großstädten haben erneut Zehntausende Demonstranten gegen den künftigen Präsidenten Donald Trump protestiert. In Portland im Westküstenstaat Oregon kam es dabei zu gewalttätigen Ausschreitungen im Pearl District. Demonstranten zerstörten Schaufensterscheiben und steckten Briefkästen sowie mindestens einen Müllcontainer in Brand.
Laut Augenzeugen setzten die Sicherheitskräfte teilweise Tränengas oder Pfefferspray sowie Blendgranaten ein. Über Lautsprecherdurchsagen wurden die Menschen zum Verlassen von Bereichen außerhalb der genehmigten Demonstrationszone aufgerufen.
Die Polizei sprach von einer “ungesetzlichen Versammlung”

Weitgehend ohne gewalttätige Zwischenfälle verliefen Anti-Trump-Demonstrationen in den kalifornischen Großstädten Oakland, San Francisco und Los Angeles. Protestzüge führten auch durch die Ostküstenmetropolen Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia und New York sowie durch Denver und Dallas. Bereits am Mittwoch und Donnerstag waren Zehntausende Menschen in Städten im ganzen Land auf die Straße gegangen und hatten ihrem Unmut über den Ausgang der Präsidentenwahlen Luft gemacht.
Trump bezeichnete die Proteste als “unfair und von den Medien angestachelt”
Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 11 November 2016
