A night of deadly violence Saturday in Portland had America's two presidential candidates speaking out Sunday afternoon. And their remarks were about as different as their national conventions over the last two weeks.
The fact that there was another night of protests for Black Lives Matter (BLM) and for social justice in Portland isn't anything new, as Saturday marked the 94th-consecutive day since they began in late May. Saturday turned deadly as a group of Donald Trump supporters clashed in the streets with BLM supporters. One man was shot dead during the confrontations.
