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.

The violence will not be started by the right. Antifa will show up and start everything.

I have no idea who the these "right-wing extremists" are that seeBs describes, but it's apparent that CBS loves Antifa.

CBS is the enemy of truth and the American people.

I honestly don't remember. I originally posted it a couple of weeks ago.

All I can say is, somewhere on the internet.

Bad answer, I know.

Potland must expect Proud Boys to show up in larger than usual numbers and are going all out to protect the peaceful AuntieFayes.

The police will intervene energetically if a rumble ensues and AuntieFay seems to be getting the worst of it.

By “far right” they mean anything to the right of Stalin.

I have expected for a while that the shooting will start with a rooftop leftie sniper at one of these events. It actually started with the last series of mass and attempted mass shootings. I had not considered that there might well be jihad style “martyrs” among the lefties but on reflection, I remember that the Bolsheviks had suicidals when they needed them and these people are Bolsheviki. There are plenty of intense screwballs among them and most of them are borderline or full on insane to start with.

I was there in 1991 in Berkeley as a student during the Rodney King riots and I can tell you for a fact that it’s on the left wing lunatics that bust windows go in and steal iPhones bongs and crap like that

I’ll never forget as we were marching down the middle of Martin Luther King Way saying no Justice no peace and then all of a sudden these groups of thugs sprawled out and just started busting windows in every store they could in particular they were interested in the store that sold the bongs

Of course they didn’t go anywhere near any banks or anywhere with any arm security

That’s not the style of these left wing kooks

“Right wing extremist and anti-fascist.”

And yet the MSM claims they are not biased and wonder why many people hate them.

The left has been engaged in a civil war. It’s the right who has been abstaining and mostly losing.

If there’s even a hint of violence it will be the Left causing it.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an “ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.” Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!

No bias in that writing. No sir. None whatsoever.

So, they warn about “extremist right-wing” groups but do not at all mention “extremist left-wing groups.” Bias much?

"right-wing extremists and anti-fascist demonstrators"

How's that for an even-handed description? /s

Is that a real Antifa poster, or some sort of spoof?
