CHAOS in Portland: Proud Boys CLASH with ANTIFA, BlazeTV reporter maced by rioters
The Blaze ^ | August 27, 2021 | Blaze TV Staff

Posted on 08/28/2021 9:15:41 PM PDT by TBP

A "Summer of Love" event turned violent as Antifa clashed with right-wing groups in Portland, Oregon, and BlazeTV's Savanah Hernandez got caught in the middle of the chaos. On the latest episode of "Slightly Offensive," Savanah sat down with host Elijah Schaffer, Sydney Watson and Lisa Reynolds to describe the scene as it unfolded.

A right-wing group called "Patriots Spreading Love Not Hate" initially planned a "non-violent" rally at the Salmon Springs Fountain in downtown Portland, but the event was relocated to an abandoned K-mart parking lot approximately 8 miles away. Organizers reportedly claimed the move was an attempt to avoid a confrontation, according to Savanah.

Altercations broke out when Antifa members showed up at the event and were met by groups including the Proud Boys armed with bear mace and tear gas. Ultimately, members of the Proud Boys smashed and flipped a van after its occupants were chased away from the scene.

We are, I think about one good riot away from a hot civil war in parts of the country. But, if it is limited to pantiesinawadfa and the Proud-Boys, pantiesinawadfa will lose.

Here’s what I see:

- Pantyfa only emerge in very lefty areas (e.g., Portland, L.A.). Last year they tried to pop out in normal America and got run off before they could even gather.

- When they show up, they’re very brave and will run amok and commit assaults and arson if unopposed or if they have overwhelming numbers.

- Every time they run into odds of worse than 4:1 in their favor they lose, badly.

- Correllary: part of the reason they like lefty areas is the leftist-mayor-controlled cops will effectively take their side by stopping fights when they start losing and arresting patriots who defend themselves.

Last year Project Veritas had various videos of them training and being instructed on what was more or less dirty fighting. This seems to be their forte’.

It’s kind of a lame metaphor but the Pantyfa live down to it — I keep being reminded of D&D Kobolds. Weak, treacherous, and massively egotistical (kobolds are like 3’ and think they’re related to dragons).

Yah, Kobolds are bad...except for Deekin in “Neverwinter Nights campaign two. He was a good Kobold. ;-)

Doom doom doom. The old Bioware was good stuff (Deekin, Larry/Darryl/Darryl from Baldur’s gate, etc.) Alas, absorbed by EA which has done the same hideous life-sucking to everyone from the developer of “Hard Hat Mack” to the Jane’s team to this. Those buyout offers must be amazing...

"Every time they run into odds of worse than 4:1 in their favor they lose, badly."

I've noticed that as well. When they dress in their black super hero costumes they kinda look like Spider Man without the muscles.

I think maybe they need bigger muscles.

This “report” sounds like it was written by an Antifa sympathizer, not a “Blaze” reporter.

What the hell is going on here?

Were we to totally co-opt the left agenda, THAT would be the smartest thing the right has ever done. Mockery is an a-bomb.
