Leftists Storm Suburbs, Shine Lights Into Homes While Screaming: 'Out Of Your House, Into The Streets!'
[DAILYWIRE] Hundreds of far-left activists stormed a residential neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, on Friday night as they shined lights into people’s home and screamed, "out of your house, into the streets!" Videographer BG On the Scene captured numerous videos of the night’s action and identified those who were marching as Black Lives Matter protesters.

Journalist Andy Ngo identified them as being part of antifa. The far-left activists wore black and carried shields, at least one of which could briefly be seen with a hammer and sickle symbol on it.

"Out of your house, into the streets!" the activists screamed as they marched through the residential neighborhood. They repeated the chant countless times throughout the area.
Lots of videos at the link.

#8 Interestingly, some people are saying that they feel like Antifa might be both sides in these. That they are setting up a false flag incident to really try and institute a crack down on the 'right wingers'.

#9 Agent provocateurs from the revolutionary Marxist playbook working to draw aggressive reaction from law enforcement and pro American elements for media and propaganda purposes. If you can’t provoke it, fake it, it’s all irevolutionary theater for Marxist subversives who have been breeding in Portland for years thanks to dark money from people like Soros and the ChiComs.

#10 #8 I don't know if that's entirely true, but to judge from the Andy Ngo videos there was a lot of pushing, shoving, and spraying but not too much else. And I haven't seen any reports of Portland hospitals being overwhelmed with concussions and broken bones, although from the videos one Antifette may be visiting her dentist in short order.

#12 Let's see if they do a catch and release on the "right wingers" like they do for the lefties.

#13 Yeah, looked more like a slap fight than anything else.
