My idea and reasons: Portland Patriots could pull back 3 blocks all around from courthouse [View all]

I admit I've' never been to Portland so don't know the street layout around the Federal Courthouse. Pulling back and forming a perimeter 3 blocks away would still surround the courthouse and the illegal goons present there. If the goons advanced out to the new protest perimeter it would prove they are aggressive and not "just protecting the courthouse". It would also thin out their lines a lot more than it would thin out the lines of our patriots. So I doubt they would come out three blocks and they would end up looking pretty ridiculous all cozy in their building. BUT they are led by some very stupid people, so if they did advance out and thin themselves out, one side of the patriot box could advance one block at a time and that side of the goons would start withdrawing or if they are really stupid, the goons would reinforce that side from one of the other sides further weakening the side the reinforcements were drawn from. Then the patriots could start advancing from that weakened side slowly and peacefully. It would have to be very deliberate a nd disciplined, but would then sjow that citizens of Portland are peaceful and in charge of their city. Just my humble thoughts. I could be all wet.
