Police say a right-wing Proud Boys rally and counter-protests in Portland, Oregon, have largely dispersed without serious violence, though they are investigating an assault after one person who was documenting the event was pushed to the ground and kicked in the face.

About 1,000 people gathered at the Proud Boys rally in Delta Park on Saturday, while a group of 500 left-wing counter-protesters massed at nearby Peninsula Park, leading to fears of clashes.

Ahead of the right-wing rally, which organizers said was to support President Donald Trump and 'to end domestic terrorism', Oregon Governor Kate Brown declared a state of emergency and Mayor Ted Wheeler said it poses the 'greatest threat we've faced so far' amid fears of clashes with left-wing protesters.

Brown and Wheeler turn out to be the “biggest threats” that Portland/Oregon have faced this century. Two pyschos in positions of power letting the commies and black extremists plus rich white lunatics burn down Portland.

Instead of them just wearing face masks, they should be made to wear the ones made of the rioters’ favorite weapon, quick-drying cement.

Along with the accomplices of the Communists- The Main stream Media- who stir up maximum animosity, by deliberately lying to the people, either through distortion of facts, or outright suppression of truth.

there are a number of very lengthy youtube videos of the London protest online - many hours each. people are commenting that it was totally peaceful until police became aggressive. some say there were 30,000 protesters:

VIDEO: 1m40s: 27 Sept: Ruptly TV: UK: Bloodied heads and arrests at anti-lockdown rally in London as scuffles erupt
Anti-lockdown protesters scuffled with police in London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday, resulting in injured people from both sides and several arrests.
Tempers flared as the protesters shouted at the police, who responded by pulling out truncheons and pushing the feisty crowd to retreat. At least two protesters could be seen with blood on their faces, while at least one police officer was taken away with a bandaged head.
https://www.ruptly.tv/en/videos/20200926-032-UK—Bloodied-heads-and-arrests-at-anti-lockdown-rally-in-London-as-scuffles-erupt

DM admits maybe 20,000, but has one ***pic caption saying 30,000 full capacity, which it looked like from what I’ve seen on other videos.
note the whole of Britain had 24 deaths today! the lockdowns are insane:

MULTIPLE VIDEOS: 26 Sept: Daily Mail: Anti-lockdown protesters clash with police after at least 15,000 gathered against virus restrictions in Trafalgar Square - while a QUARTER of UK population is put under some form of lockdown - and conspiracy theorist Piers Corbyn addresses crowd
•Attendees of the ‘We Do Not Consent’ rally gathered in Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park, London, earlier today
•Crowds have been urged to abide by coronavirus restrictions and warned that violence will not be tolerated
•Sixteen people were arrested during march, which moved to Hyde Park, and nine police officers were injured
•Piers Corbyn, brother of former Labour leader Jeremy, and conspiracy theorist David Icke are in attendance
By Raven Saunt and Faith Ridler
Crowds, who were also warned violence would not be tolerated, carried placards reading ‘is this freedom?’ and ‘end the crazy rules’ as they flocked to protest against Britain’s coronavirus restrictions...
Trafalgar Square has a maximum capacity of 20,000 people and photographs showed crowds almost filling the area as they stood shoulder to shoulder to protest against Britain’s increasingly stricter lockdown rules...

Skirmishes broke out between protesters and police later in the day, with those in attendance chanting ‘shame on you’ - shoving at officers as they passed through the crammed crowd.
Pictures show a woman appearing to be knocked to the ground as a struggle broke out behind her, while one man chanted with blood pouring out of his head...

In other coronavirus developments today:
•Scientists are considering a plan to ask everyone over the age of 45 to shield to stop the spread of Covid-19...
•Government sources claimed Boris Johnson’s 10pm pubs curfew was based on ‘back of a fag (cigarette) packet calculations’ and ‘NOT advocated by SAGE’;
•The restrictions imposed in March could kill 75,000 in five years, including 31,000 deaths not related to Covid, according to documents submitted to SAGE;
•Sadiq Khan calls for Londoners to be stopped from visiting friends and family...

Households in the Welsh town of Llanelli are set to be banned from entering each other’s homes and gardens from 6pm today, with the nation’s two biggest cities of Cardiff and Swansea to follow suit in the next 24 hours. Residents will also be banned from entering or leaving the areas without a ‘reasonable excuse’. ..

Britain recorded 24 deaths today...
NHS England announced 20 deaths, while three were recorded in Wales and one in Northern Ireland. None were recorded in Scotland...
PIC: A woman and child cry as a man escorts them away from the crowd in central London. Reports suggest tear gas had been used.
PIC: Demonstrators were threatened with batons as police officers raised their weapons into the air to try to force the crowds to move on.
PIC: A woman falls to the ground near policemen as officers moved in to disperse protesters in Trafalgar Square, London today.

***PIC: Attendees of the ‘We Do Not Consent’ rally gathered earlier today after a quarter of Britain’s population was put under some form of lockdown

***PIC: It is thought that there are 15,000 protestors gathered at the event today. Trafalgar Square can hold ***30,000 people at full capacity

***PIC: NO CAPTION. NUMBER OF DEATHS PER DAY IN UK

PIC: Police officers used aggressive tactics including shouting and using their batons to attempt to control the swelling crowds

***PIC: Crowds, who were also warned that violence would not be tolerated at the gathering, carried placards reading ‘is this freedom?’ and ‘end the crazy rules’ as they flocked to central London for the demonstration

It is understood police had searched a man and confiscated a makeshift riot shield earlier in the day.

It is estimated close to 15,000 protesters have gathered inside Trafalgar Square today, as photographs show the space nearing its 19,999-person capacity...

Office for National Statistics data reveals only four Covid-19 deaths were recorded in children aged one to 14 years old in England and Wales, or less than 0.01 per cent of the total. And 574 have been recorded in those aged 15 to 44, or 0.96 per cent of the total.
In comparison, 39,058 people aged 75 and over have died from the virus, or 65 per cent of the total...

best video is the third down, 3m38s, immediately above David Icke pic, titled “Anti-lock protestors violently clash with police in London.
should be titled “Police march on totally peaceful protest, order people to leave”.

so different to how the London police allowed BLM and the earlier Extinction Rebellion protests, which disrupted people from going about their business for hours.

I think they were setting the stage for the Proud Boys to prop up their delusional position that “right wing extremism” is the cause of unrest in Portland.

Leftist democrats in government at all levels are the enemy, folks. They trample all over your rights outlined in the US Constitution and face no punishment for doing so.

These ‘Proud Boys’ are a truly racist organization... Trump should condemn them and point them out as the extremist they are. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the Democrats are funding them to counter their own extremist BLM and Antifa movements that are dragging the Democrats down to the sewer.

Yes. And it is total nonsense. That effort started under Obozo.

Don’t underestimate the commitment to the delusion. A lot of people buy into it. A video of Proud Boys chasing down an antifag and bitch-slapping them around would get a lot of play.

“These ‘Proud Boys’ are a truly racist organization...”

Which is odd because they have a large Hispanic contingent that seems to be growing

I think the commies want to yell at PBs but don’t want to tangle physically with them. I watched these fellows on a video walking through a bunch of BlackMasks swinging clubs and skateboards at them and the PB knocking them down with single punches to the jaw one after another. Some broken jaws there and teeth on the street.

Incurious, ill-informed...I think it gets back to liberalism being a mental disorder. They need the things that they believe to be validated. The likes of Ted Wheeler and Kate Brown know that, and are happy to oblige. You can see how dangerous they are.

Honestly in Portland, I haven't seen many black folks rioted in the videos I've seen. I'm sure there's a couple but it seems mostly ANTIFA to me.
