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.

In this communist rotten city of Portland the cops probably have been given the stand down order already. Portland is a piece of communist shi!. And Trump still cannot figure out the antifa are terrorist.

We rarely hear the actual words of these “right-wing extremists,” only the media’s characterization of them, so it’s very hard to know what they really stand for. For the media, labeling them is sufficient, and there’s apparently no need to quote the actual statements or speeches of the “right-wing extremists,” we are just supposed to accept the media’s description of them.

For the most part these left wing lunatics are kids and cowards to boot

The guys (and gals) in the front ranks are expendable idiots. It is the people way in back who are the capable and dangerous fighters.

The Antifa organizers are paid professionals, working with the tacit or explicit support of the Portland local government. They know what they are doing. They are not being subtle about plans for a set of false flag events which can be blamed on "right-wing extremists".

I would expect a deliberate sacrifice of some leftists by Antifa provocateurs.

Plans do not always go as intended.

Stay Safe!

“groups of right-wing extremists and anti-fascist demonstrators.”

No bias there from CBS News, right? How many rent-a-mob people are being paid to portray “right-wing” extremists at that protest? This is all a setup!

Our disgusting Southern Oregon newspaper crapped out a total puff piece on antifa. “THey are sacrificing their safety to stand up to white supremacist bullies”

The Antifa dress all in black and wear masks. The Patriots tend to be unmasked and dressed normally with a red, white and blue, stars and stripes theme

Have no fear, Danny Boy is on the case. The pipes are calling for kid gloves for Antifas, iron and lead on patriots.

I saw it on Facebook. Can’t remember if it was the local antifa chapter or an anti antifa page that posted it.

I’m sorry, it was just seagulls. They were screaming, though.

And that means the entire department will be paid to watch as antifa attacks, hits, intimidates and assaults everyone else.

I believe the term is ‘great work if you can get it.

Leftists are such horrible people.

Proud BoysThere is a video of an earlier Portland action where AuntieFay attacked a permitted peaceful Christian demo and one of the PBs was attacked by an A-F with an asp and the PB decks him with one punch- broke his jaw it turns out. Another vid shows the same PB later in the demo laying out several AFs in succession as they come at him with bats and clubs. Their stated purpose is to protect conservative demonstrators from AF.

“Several extremist groups are expected to show up, but no one has applied for any type of permit.”

It seems like if you apply for a permit, then the police have leverage to shut down the permitted group while ignoring the counterprotesters. I guess the media-described rightwing groups are learning the futility of playing by the local government’s rules.
