Icall on all peaceful protesters to get a clown wig and nose and start a Portland Clown Patrol to walk the streets with our occupiers when they come, (“ Defense secretary moves to federalize 200 Oregon National Guard members for Portland deployment: Read the memo, ” Sept. 28).

It will look better on the news to walk with them, laughing and having fun in what Trump think is hell , rather than to try fighting with them. It’s not the troops’ fault they were deployed here; they are caught up in the same circus as the rest of us.

There is a long history of fighting tyranny with humor. And it makes a much better counter point.
