Antifa causes disturbances long after most Proud Boys leave Portland rally

[Washington Examiner] PORTLAND, Oregon ‐ While the Proud Boys rally to "End Domestic Terrorism" at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park came and went within a short amount of time, members of antifa continued to stay out in the streets of "Rose City."

Scheduled to start at 11 a.m. on Saturday, the "End Domestic Terrorism" rally coordinated by former InfoWars staffer Joe Biggs ended at around noon, with a majority of the group choosing to march across the nearby bridge.

One rallygoer, who did not want to be identified out of fear for his safety, told the Washington Examiner he decided to attend because he wants antifa to be recognized as a domestic terrorist group, saying they have "been committing a lot of violence, and nothing is being done about ... they have rhetoric thinking ICE members are Nazis, and that's just not true."

With the rallygoers gone, antifa and counterprotesters, who vastly outnumbered the right-wing group, stayed in the park and spread out into the downtown area.

Often ignoring police commands to stay on the sidewalks, the antifa members marched around and engaged in small confrontations with individuals who were perceived or proclaimed to be against antifa. One case resulted in police using pepper balls and arresting a man on the counterprotest side who had advocated for fights throughout the day.

#2 Often ignoring police commands to stay on the sidewalks, the antifa

All the very best conservatives have assured me that all cops are heroes, and not just a bunch of uniformed bureaucratic hacks looking out for their taxpayer-funded pensions.

The same taxpayers to whom they have no "duty to protect" (the same taxpayers who do have a duty to pay for their pensions of course)

Their fortitude in the face of being ignored was very heroic.

#3 Proud boys should announce they are going somewhere and then not show up. It might be played as cowardly but it would cause Antifa to spend time and money preparing again and again for each false alarm, it would also increase the chances teh rabid Antifa folks would just attack anyone when they couldn't get to the Proud Boys which would chip away at their public relations like a sledgehammer.

#5 Guys, Marx's "final stage of socialism" is anarchy, after they've perfected humanity so much we're more ants than people and government isn't needed anymore. These anarchists are demanding absolute tyranny.
