The groups know they will get a headline-grabbing reaction from Portland’s so-called “antifa,” whose members have issued an online call to their followers to turn out to “defend Portland from a far-Right attack.”
Portland’s Rose City Antifa, the nation’s oldest active anti-fascist group, says violence against right-wing demonstrators is “exactly what should happen..."
Portland leaders are planning a major law enforcement presence on the heels of similar rallies in June... None of the city’s nearly 1,000 police officers will have the day off, and Portland will get help from the Oregon State Police and the FBI. Mayor Ted Wheeler has said he may ask Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, to call up the Oregon National Guard.
At the June rally, masked antifa members beat up a conservative blogger named Andy Ngo. Video of the 30-second attack grabbed national attention and further turned the focus on Portland...
Republican Sens. Ted Cruz, of Texas, and Bill Cassidy, of Louisiana, introduced a congressional resolution calling for anti-fascists to be declared domestic terrorists...Portland’s City Hall has been evacuated twice due to bomb threats after the June 29 skirmishes...
Police have noted the violence in June was limited to a small area of downtown Portland despite three different demonstrations that lasted more than five hours, with hundreds of people constantly on the move.
Joe Biggs, organizer of Saturday’s rally, said the attack on Ngo made him decide to hold the event with the goal of getting antifa declared a domestic terrorist organization. Biggs said those coming to Portland have been told not to bring weapons or start fights, but they will defend themselves if attacked.
He says he is not racist — he has a toddler daughter with his Guyanese wife — but wants to show the world antifa’s violent tactics.

Actually, I see Antifa as “far right”. But that’s just me...
Anyone to the right of McGovern.
“None of the city’s nearly 1,000 police officers will have the day off,”
It will be like a day off as much as those useless cops will do.
Prediction: right wingers in jail. Antifa free on the streets.
Man, you’re not kidding. The author must be Klantifa herself...
Who is this “far right group”? Nuns?
At one time, Oregon was a hotbed of anti-vaxxers. Now it is White Power groups
“It sounds like the far left is planning on going full retard with their violence.”
The left’s ideology has no successful results to rally support around. Their deep state used all it’s weaponry before and after the election and fired it directly at their foot.
What we’re seeing here is continued foot blasting. Don’t wish to see anyone hurt, but I may still invest heavily in popcorn stock.
Yup, when you see “far right” you know you are seeing writings by the ill-educated and quite stupid journalism crowd.
Interesting, is it not, that these folks are the one causing the divisions that will most certainly result in civil war while at the same time claiming that the right leaning folks are causing the divisions.
Oh well, there will be a very very special punishment for the left following CW-II.
Very special.
Bingo.
While it is enjoyable to see them linking to the democrats and the left, they are anarchists, for no government.
Democrats want overwhelming, huge government.
RINOs want "democrat light".
Real republicans want limited government.
Funny how KTLA can call a masked fascist group like Antifa “Anti Fascists” but anyone who opposes them is “FarRight”. Yeah.
Has there ever been a far left rally?
Isolated to a small area?
= = =
Look for a trap. Kind of like for a cattle roundup.
Detailed and controlled maps of ‘allowed’ protest routes and areas.
Then, oops what are all those cop and SWAT vehicles doing ahead of us ... and now behind us????

Kind of admirable that they can keep a consistent narrative.
“It will be like a day off as much as those useless cops will do.”
They like to watch conservatives beat up, too — so they can go home safe to their families.
Metro PD’s are pwned by our domestic enemies.
“Has there ever been a far left rally?”
ALL of the Fraud’s rallies, but of course no “journolists” dared to insult their god.
“Biggs said those coming to Portland have been told not to bring weapons or start fights, but they will defend themselves if attacked.”
It will be a rout of the patriots by the armed fascists as the Portland cops stand by with their thumbs up their butts.
In a normal world the title would be “Normal people wish to protest, fascists don’t want to allow it”.
I don’t think the media EVER uses the term “center right” or just “average people” - if it isn’t lefties they always say “far right”, which is always assumed to be Nazi like.
In the excerpt, which was presumably the lead portion of the story, the station labeled the group as “far-right” without ever identifying the group or stating any of its alleged “far-right” beliefs. It sounds like the wife of the organizer is from Guyana, so that would seem to shoot down any notion that they are “white-supremacists” or neo-Nazis.
