Hundreds of demonstrators and counter-demonstrators filed in front of the Justice Center in Downtown Portland around Terry Schrunk Plaza today Saturday, Aug 22.

A rally, organized by members of right-wing groups like Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer, was met by counter-protesters around 12:15 pm. One of the Proud Boys or Patriot Prayer group had an automatic rifle but few if any more guns were scene on either side.


No police around as demonstrates pepper spray, some paint balls , going on and on
sometimes brawling with fists

Eventually a much larger number of BLM protesters were able to oust the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer groups from the area

Terry Schrunk Plaza is a park located in downtown Portland, Oregon, Located across from City Hall, the park is named after former Portland mayor Terry Schrunk and neighbors the Plaza Blocks consisting of Chapman Square and Lownsdale Square. The park is not a city park, but instead owned by the federal government.

6:00 PM the BLM are in the park area and police have come in starting to position in lines and by loudspeaker telling them to leave. They successfully moved them out of the plaza. They BLM remain in the area near to the plaza with drum corps

There are riots in Portland every day. They should just schedule it, like a thing Portland does, and make a PSA over the loudspeaker:

"Riots will begin in half an hour. Make sure you have shields and rocks. Due to Covid restrictions, there will be no sharing of projectiles. 3..2...1...and GO!"

I'm in Portland and most of what you're seeing is the Proud Boys 'play acting' as if they are under attack for the photo op. It would be amusing if it weren't so sad seeing these dopes dressed up and randomly striking poses like they are in battle not unlike what you'd see in a hotel lobby at a Comic-Con. (No offense to Comic-Con attendees)

I've said from the begginng that every single attendee is holding a cell phone camera and that all this fake outrage is simply for clout on their Tik Tok accounts.

Right - you're part of antifa - so blame the people who want to see an end to all this BS from your side.

Watched 10 mins or so and nothing happened, but obviously the police WAS around.
