Members of Antifa clashed with members of the conservative group Patriot Prayer Saturday evening in Portland, Ore., forcing police to declare that a riot was taking place as officers fired paintballs filled with tear gas into the crowd, according to the Oregonian.
Scuffles broke out shortly after 6 pm local time as Antifa protesters pelted marchers from the conservative group with eggs, water bottles and firecrackers as the marchers spilled out into downtown Portland for their legally permitted march in support of a conservative Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. The march followed an afternoon rally at Terry Schrunk Federal Plaza, Reuters reported.
Officers seized weapons like utility knives, clubs and chemical sprays from Antifa protesters as they gathered nearby for their counter-rally.
Portland police eventually made four arrests during the demonstrations – though they said none of them were related to the day’s events. Four others had to be taken to the hospital after being struck by projectiles.
The hostilities started escalating around 4 pm local time, as busloads of Patriot Prayer protesters arrived at Terry Schrunk Federal Plaza, while members of Antifa gathered for a counter-demonstration at Chapman Square, directly across the street.
There were roughly 150 Patriot Prayer protesters while the Antifa protesters numbered at least twice that. Still, the dueling protests were a fraction of an earlier march in support of immigrant families separated at the border, part of a wave of marches that unfolded in cities across the US. Nearly 5,000 people attended that event.
Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson, the organizer of the rally, said during a rally that he wanted to “bring light into a city that’s full of darkness”. He bashed Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. Gibson is one of 13 candidates running for the GOP nomination to face off against Democratic Washington Senator Maria Cantwell.
Tolerance, inclusion, equal rights, etc. etc., etc. ….! Makes one proud to be a Democrat
As always, The Left attacks and the Right retreats.
In case you’re wondering how things would go in a civil war if one breaks out.
My guess is that if “it” breaks out it will be as a result of the final line being crossed by the various leftist filth.
People such as myself do not seek this kind of trouble and avoid it at all costs because we know what will have to be done. If forced to fight or die or be enslaved it will require the extermination of every single person even remotely involved with this trash. I cannot imagine any rational person welcoming that.
It will not be a happy time for the loons who still proudly display their OBAMA 2012 stickers on their bumpers. Of that you can be sure. One might urge caution to those other loons flying full size Confederate flags on their trucks.
They shoulda hired the Hells Angels as bodyguards. It worked so well at Altamont. 🙂
Actually ,if you were the Stones,having HA as security not a bad idea,think the cost was many cases of beer, but,the Stones walked out unharmed.
Twice as many Antifa Useful Idiots were at the protest as Patriots; Portland is really a City of Darkness. Come out of her My People before the 9.9 Cascadia Earthquake and the Mt Shasta Volcano. Only God knows the dates; but danger exists during the 7/2020 and the 2/2021 alignments of Jupiter and Saturn (ref Solar System Simulator, Faustweb.net).
Don’t count on the police to protect you. They ran out of ammunition and other resources tasing people sitting on a curb with their back to the cops.
Last time this level of violence and movements was the Occupy Wall St. Movement that was eventually co opted into irrelevance…..
What happened to the 99% Movement?
Anyways
Welcome to the Summer of Hate 2018, ‘Murica
Here is a vid of the antipussies getting their asses kicked. Man, is it going to be a rout if it turns nasty. Those pansies will last about a minute.
Those injured should sue the bus company that drove these rioters (bus’d Them in). Make it precedent they aided and abetted criminal activity and violence. ALSo the organizers should be sued. And the people who funded it. This is how conservatives roll, they use the laws, until the laws no longer work and then when they hit back it’s gonna hurt, real bad. Makes me wonder if those fema camps will be used by Trump (for the swamp and antifa) or when the next communist (like bummer) gets in will all trumpsters be housed in them? Too bad conservatives are the party of tolerance, I fear they will be the residents of those camps. Of course the media won’t tell you, that you and your kind are being rounded up because you are a nra member, a Christian etc. only those with small footprints of such will be the last patriots standing, not housed in the camps, that will have a chance to make changes…..once that info is out, the shit gets real.
