Portland police report weapons at demonstrations

A small protest called #HimToo organized by the far-right group Patriot Prayer was met by hundreds of counter-protesters in Portland on Saturday, CBS Portland affiliate KOIN reports. The protests were meant to be peaceful, but clashes began as the groups started to disperse.

Portland police said six people were arrested.

Portland police tweeted around 5 p.m. PT that officers had observed demonstrators with weapons. "If demonstrators use weapons you are subject to citation, arrest and potentially use of force," Portland police tweeted.

Police also reported glass bottles being thrown. Tear gas and explosives went off as the crowd marched through the streets chanting "Nazis, go home!" Police in riot gear arrived in various locations to keep the demonstrators on the sidewalks, KOIN reports.

The Democratic Socialists of America on Portland held the first rally, which started around 11:30 a.m. Portland DSA tweeted they stand "with survivors and against oppressors. Fascists out of our city!"

"The only thing that beats fascists is a bigger crowd of anti-fascists," said Portland DSA co-chair Emily Golden-Fields at the first rally of the day.

They marched to Chapman Square, where they met up with the group Popular Mobilizations for a rally called #SupportersAreEverywhere, according to the Oregonian/OregonLive.

These rallies ended around 1:30 p.m., while antifa supporters in their hoodies and black masks plus hundreds of others lingered along the sidewalks as the police repeatedly made loudspeaker announcements, KOIN reports.

These protests were meant to counter the rally scheduled for 2 p.m. across the street at Terry Schrunk Plaza called #HimToo, led by activists from the far-right group Patriot Prayer.

At the #HimToo gathering, Joey Gibson and his Patriot Prayer acolyte Tusitala "Tiny" Toese spoke and danced. KOIN reports there were no more than 75 people at the demonstration.

"One of the things I think about most is equality," Gibson said. "We believe everyone has an equal opportunity. We look into the allegations and the evidence."

Various speakers made the argument that men are being constantly overshadowed and told their experiences don't matter. Speaker Christopher Foster urged people to "join us in the fight for rights for men and accountability for women."

Another speaker with a Southern accent told KOIN he drove all the way from Arkansas to speak at the #HimToo rally. While he said he did not prepare a speech, he railed against the "Democratic women cabal" and defended Roy Moore.

Saturday's protests were just three days after an ordiance aimed at regulating protests was shot down by the Portland City Council. Mayor Ted Wheeler proposed the ordiance to regulate the time, place and manner of protests that were expected to turn violent, KOIN reports.

At every demonstration I can pick out weapons in the crowd...

If they are focusing on that now it may be an indicator they are about to take action

 

[Illini Warrior]

is this a joke - they are seeing weapons NOW??? >>>>good God that one guy got head smashed by some metal club 2 months ago ....

Yeah...Makes you wonder doesn't it...

 

[Publius]

Rather than protests why not gatherings in a park or fair grounds and have a bring your own pot luck picnic.
Now if the Antifa crowd wants to invade a pot luck picnic and do harm the cops are oblagated to go after the Antifa group (the one wearing masks).

 

[dstraito]

I am sure tptb would like for nothing more than for some of their Antifa cannon fodder to get attacked. It would make great headlines across the leftist media that would love to portray t he right in a bad light.

Not that some of the Antifa don't deserve a sound thrashing based on their own actions.

 

[Nowski]

The entire west coast of the FUSA is gone,
and there is no bringing it back, not ever,
so why is a far-right group, even there in Portland?

IMHO, they have no business being there,
and they need to get out of Portland.

They should expend their resources,
in other areas of the FUSA, where they might be able
to have a positive impact.

As a very pessimistic, conspiracy theorist/doomer/prepper,
I always look for the absolute worse in everything.

If something bad can happen it will,
and something bad will happen, before something good.

Please be safe everyone, and please arm up.

AVOID THE GROID/GHOUL
In honour of the brave Whites in South Africa,
as they fight against their genocide.

I pray for the White race in South Africa,
with every prayer, and so should you,
if you pray.

Regards to all deplorables.

Anyone care to bet me that those headlines have already been written, and are just waiting to be put into play? I say they are.

First, Nowski is correct. All cities on the West Coast, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles are now Smurf land. This is not going to change. What these so called conservatives are doing is nothing less than waving a red cape in front of the Antifa bull. I don't understand why they think they won't be attacked when they show up in Portland. This is ENEMY TERRITORY, SMURFLAND BLUER THAN BLUE. Oregon no longer has any political mechanism for conservatives, not with a bisexual, resistance leading Governor, Kate Brown, or MARXIST DEMOCRAT SUPER MAJORITIES IN BOTH THE OREGON HOUSE AND SENATE. There isn't one single city or county politician in Multnomah County and the city of Portland who isn't a card carrying MARXIST.

You have three options. The first is to leave, which a lot of middle class people are actually doing. The population growth comes from illegals, refugees, and liberals fleeing both the Northeast and California. The second is to hunker down like I have and wait till TSHTF and go down fighting. The third is to just go gray man mode. I now have fairly long hair and look like an "Antifa type," on several levels. If you don't physically go near the demonstartions/riots, life goes on.

It is game over, Nowski. Civil War Two has begun in Portland. Weapons have been at every single demonstration/riot since November 6th, 2016. We have also seen a mass exodus of white, experienced, veteran police officers from the PPD over the last two years. dozens of them for sure, and both the numbers and experience are not being replaced.

I have to wonder if the actual goal of the "right wing" protesters, and in many cases just speakers, in Portland, SF or Berkeley and neighboring Oakland is to get Antifa so wound up into a frenzy that they keep destroying businesses in these towns until they shut down depriving those city governments of tax money as well as tourists who haven't already been put off enough to stay away due to conditions on the ground from the homeless and drug activity those cities aren't addressing.

Because as Doug noted, those that can are voting with their feet taking their income and tax potentials with them. ETA: Never mind discrediting the Dem administrations running these cities and by extension states. Yeah a pretty deep game but then the Left has been playing a deep game for decades.

If gunfire erupts and a full blown riot ensues, I will guarantee you that the Portland Police will flee the area.

Just ask those Korean business owners how that works . . . . .

Yup....

 

[Doomer Doug]

Don't mess with the Koreans

You mean the Korean shop owners standing on their store's roofs carrying loaded AR-15's? We talking bout those Koreans?

People should realize that Oregon has at will issue of concealed handgun permits. Housecarl, the day one of these antifa thugs starts smashing the windshield of an armed, concealed weapon permit carrying delorable will be veeeeeeery interesting.

Yep, antifa is really rolling the dice here, even in Multnomah County. You have 65,000 thousand armed adults in Washington, Multnomah and Clackamas counties alone. This is out of a total population of four million. OREGON HAS, AS OF 2017, OVER 257,000 ARMED, HANDGUN PERMIT CARRYING ADULTS. This comes out to one in 16 adults roughly statewide.

Yeah. For starters I'd expect TPTB to pull the same thing as what went on with Zimmerman and push for more gun control while they were at it, regardless of what actually happened; their "victim" will get the Horst Wessel treatment.

 

[desertvet2]

yep, the coastlines are full of limp-wristed troglodytes, when the invasion from the sea comes, it will be easy peasy hunting for the chi-coms.

 

[Mark D]

The entire west coast of the FUSA is gone,
and there is no bringing it back, not ever,
so why is a far-right group, even there in Portland?

Because, if you get an hour away from any of the cities, it's Trump Country.

I live an hour away from Seattle, and if you compare my town to there, you'd think you were in different country. And, it's like that all along the Coast. If there was a way to cordon-off the cities and make them their own state, it would be a beautiful thing.

 

[ibetiny]

We need to keep the northern west coast in mind when we split up. (don't want to split the country but it is forgone conclusion at this point.) The Mid-west from about Missouri Nebraska Kansas and Through Montana area will stay together but we need to have good access to the sea port for trade to flourish. We know the socialists will not be able to feed themselves much less trade on the world markets. We don't want to be land-locked.

I usually over think and see 'deep games' too. But, I have to think that something akin to your scenerio is occurring... Confident antifa is well infiltrated, legal eyes are being dotted, teas crossed, and cases being built and documented step by step. In the mean time, almost no one likes thuggishness, so like other far left groups, their antics repulse folks, and strengthen support for law and order measures.

This thread reminds me of some recent reading of source material of the bleeding ks years. One take away for me was that the principals of the bushwackers or jayhawks may have been more Noble than the other, depending upon one's perspective.
However, the men themselves were all fairly flawed on both sides of the aisle/river. So I spose it's all too possible this isn't a stage managed slow roll out of thugs, so everyone can see the truth, before the judicial hammer is lowered, ... Maybe it's just a bunch of folks trying to light a fire and amp up the blaze?

 

[Tristan]

Why is Patriot Prayer described as "Far right" and Democratic Socialists not referred to as "Far Left"?

 

[Jez]

Shouldn't that Portland police tweet be something like "If anyone other than Antifa use weapons they will be caged and prosecuted. We have to protect our own after all."

 

[Housecarl]

You have to remember the perspective the "reporter" is coming from...

That may wel BE the White Shirt perspective, but there are interesting rumors about that it is NOT the blue shirt perspective. the Blue Shirts are apparently losing or have lost patience with ANTIFA.

 

[CaryC]

You have to remember the perspective the "reporter" is coming from...

Exactly! Notice:

Another speaker with a Southern accent told KOIN he drove all the way from Arkansas to speak at the #HimToo rally. While he said he did not prepare a speech, he railed against the "Democratic women cabal" and defended Roy Moore.

The reporter punctuated "Southern accent" when he could of just said he was from Arkansas. Punctuating the "Southern accent" meant the speaker was from out of town, and from the south where, those racist, white southerners live, who once owned slaves, and rebelled against a functioning federal government.

The reason I say that is he didn't punctuate anyone with a Yankee/Northern accent. Like: the first speaker talked like a yankee, and the next one talked like a rebel.

Some one said the politicians are card carrying Marxist. While that may be true, I am a card carrying CCW, NRA, USCCA, and if they want to see them I'll show them. BTW President Trump is coming to Tupelo, MS...….Tuesday. Will just go to the airport, probably come in a helo. They land 747's there but they can't take off. I will not be going. I don't do crowds. He's coming to bolster the turn out for Hyde-Smith for Senator.

We need to keep the northern west coast in mind when we split up. (don't want to split the country but it is forgone conclusion at this point.) The Mid-west from about Missouri Nebraska Kansas and Through Montana area will stay together but we need to have good access to the sea port for trade to flourish. We know the socialists will not be able to feed themselves much less trade on the world markets. We don't want to be land-locked.

You won't be, even if they take the coast. The Mississippi River runs straight to the Gulf of Mexico, and out to the rest of the world.

If you will remember your Civil War history. Besides blockading Southern Ocean ports, Union forces wanted to control the Mississippi River, hence the siege of Vicksburg. And unlike the coastal regions there are several red states along that River. Without the Mississippi, controlling ocean ports is futile.

 

[Dobbin]

They land 747's there but they can't take off.

They must have active local employment in "plane dismantling."

Or a VERY full parking lot.

Sorry. I think I get it. Its like "Hotel California."

Hey Dobbin, tell owner I said that's one smart horse he has there.

Yes, there is a very active Plane Dismantling facility there. I would love to see one of those 747's land there. It would be brakes squalling, and smoke from tires blanketing the area. The 747's are bigger than the airport.

The 747's are moved over on to the old run way/airport area, So the area Trump will be in will be a nice area, and not a junk zone.
