The statements contained within these interviews (excluding those made by us concerning updates) are not meant to be taken as factual statements and do not necessarily represent the views held by 3 Dudes With a Mic Independent Media Co.
Rather, the intent of these interviews was: 1) to provide anyone and everyone with a voice, unaltered, unedited, uncensored, and unabridged 2) to provide an alternate media account not driven by any ulterior motives, profit or political 3) to partake in the making of history.
Although we were there in solidarity with the Occupy Movement, we are not affiliated with them and did not in any way partake in the protest. We attempted to solicit a wide range of differing voices and opinions from protesters, supporters, detractors, onlookers, and even the police, although we were unable to obtain any statements from the latter. Without any further ado, I present to you the true, unabridged saga of the Occupy Portland eviction.

Before we headed down to Chapman Square, James suggested we make audio dog tags. Although we were expecting to make to and from the protest safe and sound, we figured it would be smart to take proper precautions in case of the worst. Zach was in charge of soliciting and conducting interviews and operating the recording equipment, James was there to look out for potentially scout out potential threats and plan our escape rout, and I was in charge of carrying our emergency supplies (i.e. water, first aid, hand warmers, electrolytes, etc.) in case something happened to any of us. Luckily we did not need of these things.
