Portland, Oregon — The serenity of downtown Portland will be tested yet again on Saturday afternoon. Stores began closing Friday night ahead of dueling protests between groups of right-wing extremists and anti-fascist demonstrators.

Several extremist groups are expected to show up, but no one has applied for any type of permit. Police learned about the protest from monitoring social media, and from what they read, there is concern for possible violence.

ANTIFA-lover and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler has already had the local police arrest one of the conservative speakers for something that happened back in May. The guy's been released but you can see from the header where this is going to go.

[Cyclops08]

Portland: where the cops either look the other way or side with antifa terrorists.

[rigelkentaurus]

The whole police will be turned out? What, they set up bleachers for them to sit on and watch like they were at a ballgame?

[rktman]

Everybody on duty!? So they can arrest evil knot-zees and warn aunt-teefuh? Sooner or later this is gonna get uglier.

Anyone know where a live stream feed might be? I searched but couldn’t find anything from today

[dfwright]

I wonder what IFF system they plan to use to keep from beating each other up?

[faithhopecharity]

Since antifa’a funding comes from far leftist nazi commie type sources ( think soroznazi) it’s false for the paper to label it right wing. Perhaps deliberately false

Stores began closing Friday night ahead of dueling protests between groups of right-wing extremists and anti-fascist demonstrators.

ANTIFA are the extremists. It should read "Stores began closing Friday night ahead of dueling protests between groups of left-wing extremists and peaceful conservative demonstrators."

The Proud Boys have just had enough of the bullies. in Anarchifa.

[normbal]

Headline broken.

“Portland braces to ignore violent ANTIFA terrorists at Patriotic PRO-America Rally - entire police force will be standing by to watch again.”

There.

I fixed it for you.

[MileHi]

So this is a premeditated riot. That is a conspiracy to commit crimes.

I expect Portland PD will show their true colors.

[real saxophonist]

...dueling protests between groups of right-wing extremists and anti-fascist demonstrators.

Nope, no bias there...

[bray]

Yeah it will be hard to tell with the piercings and purple hair.

[Pravious]

I guess the Portland police will be on “Riot Watch” - kind of like Epstein’s jailers were on “Suicide Watch.”

"...The serenity of downtown Portland will be tested yet again on Saturday afternoon. Stores began closing Friday night ahead of dueling protests between groups of right-wing extremists and anti-fascist demonstrators..."

Ahhh. You mean "serenity" like this:

THAT kind of "serenity", where people bring their young children? (Next to the guy yukking it up in the blue shirt...probably her biological father) This was in Portland back during the Bush Administration, IIRC.

[Freee-dame]

Is this a real publication by antiFA (anti First Amendment, not anti-fascist)? If so, the right wing “extremists don’t hide their faces behind masks.

[fproy2222]

Better warn everyone not to bring their legal weapons.
Only illegal vuns allowed.

[rdl6989]

Thanks! Where did you find this?

[fproy2222]

Guns, not vuns
