Friday marked one year after continuous protests in Portland began during the wake of Floyd’s death.
On the anniversary of George Floyd’s death this week, tensions between Portland police and anti-police activists erupted Tuesday evening, ensuing in a riot, property damage, and five arrests.
Three days later, on Friday, activists gathered at Terry Schrunk Plaza on Southwest Madison Street in downtown Portland, to commemorate when Portland protests began in the wake of Floyd’s death.
In a Friday release, PPB said, “Portland Police will have extra resources assigned to monitor this event.”
PPB said officers will respond if any violence or criminal activity occurs which could threaten the safety of the community. Police said officers will also protect any building, public or private, from being damaged.
Police on Friday reported at least two arrests by 10 p.m. PT for unspecified offenses.
A group of about 100 rioters gathered at Revolution Hall, where protests began a year ago, according to the news site. Around 8 p.m. PT they began marching, then stopping periodically as speakers addressed the crowd.
Shortly before 10 p.m. PT, another group gathered outside the Multnomah County Justice Center, another frequent site of unrest and vandalism, according to the news site. Authorities made at least two arrests at that location, the outlet reported.
Antifa also chased away a man they say is Andy Ngo during last night’s protests according to posts on social media.
One video posted online claimed to show Ngo being assisted by police inside the lobby of a downtown hotel after the writer apparently eluded a group.
Subsequent posts claimed Ngo was eventually able to leave the hotel, reportedly after receiving some medical attention.
Photos also reveal that a person wearing black clothes and a BLM flag was chased away from a gathering outside the Justice Center in downtown Portland tonight, and later tackled
Protesters believe the person was Andy Ngo in disguise!
Photos below:
Video of Andy Ngo cowering behind a desk after getting caught trying to inflateAntifa last night. Antifa cornered him into a hotel.
Inflate or infiltrate? And what is the author Mack Cogburn doing? Sitting behind a desk typing. So brave.
Cowering? Now why would Andy be cowering?
Perhaps because he’s outnumbered by violent terrorists who have threatened his life?
Why, the nerve of him to hide when being chased...
I notice those antifa cowards stay safely in Portland. Come to some small town red states. See what happens.
Like a drop of water on a hot iron.
Andy Ngo is one of the bravest men in America today. The last time Antifans caught him, they beat him so badly he sustained permanent brain damage from a bleed inside his skull. He had to re-learn how to speak!
He continues to bravely oppose and expose Antifa. Andy Ngo doesn’t cower behind a desk. He lives to fight another day!!

“Andy Ngo is one of the bravest men in America today.”
Yes, agreed, particularly in comparison to vocal critics of blm/antifa. But if that was him (it sure looked like him), he’s not very bright:
He made almost no effort to conceal his identity, save for the simple mask.
And make no mistake: Doing that - infiltration attempt - with no makeup and no full face covering - and ESPECIALLY no backup, isn’t ‘brave’...
It’s utter stupidity.
He’s doing far more that our Republican elected stiffs who have done absolutely nothing.
I just started reading Ngo’s “Unmasked” and he mentions that he went undercover into Seattle’s CHAZ for a few days (iirc). This is after he was already a hated guy on Antifa’s radar. If the average conservative had 10% of the courage of this small gay guy, we wouldn’t be losing our country.
Brave, yes. Also risky because they’re likely to kill him if he is caught.
I remember the stories of soldiers at Omaha beach cowering behind the seawall...no one even dares to call them "cowards".
Antifa is propped up by the media, political scum as police hands tied but are a bunch of pu**ies.
Agreed.
assigned to ***monitor*** this event and there it is...
Poor guy caught a serious beating, had a major head injury. Likely affected his judgement. Still seriously brave.
Mrs AV
No argument, but neither that it was a stupid thing to do, the way he did it.
Some people learn lessons hard; others never learn. Sadly, Ngo falls into the latter, it seems.
If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list.
Easy to critique another man’s brave act from the safety of your couch.
Once again, Andy Ngo is one of the bravest men in the country.
Mrs. AV
They’ve done it a time or two. Didn’t end well for them.
