This is Portland where Black Bloc was founded. They are now referred to as antifa, but they are by and by Black Bloc. Same tactics, same message, same grab. From the 90s there was a blogger w name of tacoma in his full moniker who was part of the Tacoma PD retired who tracked Block Bloc as subversives. Black Bloc doesn’t want to show their face, but I got photos of 3 in NC during a John Kerry protest. When they showed up we reminded the police that you can’t have faces covered (KKK law) at protest or marches. The Police gathered several BB around and said they needed to uncover or leave. they all left, two of us followed 4 BBs to their car and got uncovered photos, sent to tacoma blogger who IDed them. Two traveled all over the country, they were trust-funders, never worked a day in their life. He IDed the third one, but can’t remember what he said about her. The 4th one we couldn’t get a good frontal or profile photo.
google BB if interested

Good post
Re the link— I’m glad to see one of these guys actually got seriously punished. Unfortunately that is the rare exception.
