Portland activists snatched my phone out of my hands as I was livestreaming, and only would give it back to me if I recited the phrase “Black Lives Matter,” which I did. They then threatened a physical attack and chased me away; one whipped some kind of beverage at me. Fun times
Here's the part of the stream when the encounter took place

Start at around 36:00 if it doesn't go directly to the timestamp
Thousands of online leftists are subsequently flooding in to proclaim how much they approve of this conduct. Good to know! (Also, the idea that I'm a "narc" is hilarious. There are people livestreaming all over the place at this protest. It's a fucking public event, you idiots)
And you wonder why the online activist left is widely viewed as a bunch of anti-social psychopaths. (I know that's a generalization, but it's largely applicable.) You people are deranged
There's about a gazillion streams happening right now in Portland, fucking losers. If you don't want to get filmed a public event, don't go. Babies
Here’s a standalone clip of the encounter
