Portland, Oregon descended into violence on Sunday, as intense clashes broke out between Antifa and Proud Boys.
One man was arrested for firing a gun at demonstrators, a car was broken into, and an ambulance truck was flipped.
Luckily, no injuries have been reported.
Portland has become a magnet for Antifa rioters given the city’s liberal stance.
Portland police arrested a man, later identified as 65-year-old Dennis G. Anderson, on Sunday afternoon after he allegedly opened fire with a handgun.
Footage filmed close to Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest Alder Street, where Anderson was arrested, showed a man firing a handgun from behind a garbage can and also appearing to dodge gunfire.
Other videos taken nearby show the man lying face down on the sidewalk as several officers arrest him.

In another angle as you can see the guy behind the recycling can apparently shoot first, then someone else returns fire:
An arrest was made soon after:
A video leading up to the shooting, where you can see the guy with the hat backing away holding his gun out to the side as others are walking him back, including what appears to the shooter with his gun drawn and leveled at the guy:
The press release from the Portland Police Bureau only references a single “suspect” shooting, and makes no mention of the other party firing more shots.
Even do Drew Hernandez may have caught the other shooter on camera, as well-known Antifa militant Luis Marquez is seen berating one of his comrades!

The police try to protect the ones who want to defund them!
Interesting local take on the day

Article inadvertently stumbles on the problem...
“ Portland police took a mostly hands-off approach during much of the day. Officers were conspicuously absent even as left-wing activists erected barricades on downtown streets. On Twitter, the bureau said it was monitoring the situation.
Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said Friday that police would not be getting in the middle of dueling groups and would instead keep an eye out for law-breakers.”
So dueling is perfectly okay, but dagnabbit those law-breakers, they better not break any laws.
Does Oregon have any laws on the books regarding dueling?
Watched the videos and I’m thinking Proud Boys should take prisoners. Then unmask and then photograph them and place the images on online. Icing on the cake would be to brand an “A” on each of their foreheads for easy identification later. :). Taliban would take care of a lot of our lives problem groups in no time flat.
Predictable. The democrats have given antifa/blm unqualified permission to burn, destroy, steal, rape and kill. Anyone who loves this country is being thrown into prison.
I’m surprised that the cops didn’t arrest the Proud Boys when they toppled the ANTIFA retard-mobile.
Portland jackboots have been pu$$y whipped by the governor, mayor, Burn, Loot, Murder and Antifart.
Portland is hostile territory. Why bother?
Agreed, let it burn.
The police are only going to push the right into sniper fire and guerilla warfare.
If they are going to protect the anarchists and arrest and prosecute any who oppose them, it’s coming. It’s just what I see as on the horizon.
I like the way you think.
Of course. That is because...drum roll please...the police are the enemy!
Slimy, cowardly f%cks.
