I’m in Salem Oregon for the opposing BLM and Proud Boy protests.
Approaching the crowd now on the Proud Boy side.
Police standing in between BLM protesters and some Proud Boy/4th of July/BLM counterprotesters on the steps of the Capital Building.
A Black Lives Matter crowd with some folks giving speeches across the street from the Proud Boy group.
A bit of one of the speech’s on the BLM side of the protest in Salem.
The police trying to get in between some Proud Boys and anti-fascists.
Somebody with a “Q” sign (who declined to be photographed) started crying at the sight of an American Flag that had been spray painted on. #4thofJuly #salem #salemoregon #oregon
This seems to be the bulk of the Proud Boy group left over, they’re preparing to march somewhere.
A small BLM group has advanced onto the steps of the Capital Building, the police are trying to keep the July 4th/All Lives Matter group and the BLM group separate.
Looks like the last of the All Lives Matter/Proud Boy group has left the Capitol Building area.
