I'm back out in the Portland suburbs, where many hundreds are gathering for another pro-Trump caravan. People are still arriving, but I've already seen some Proud Boys, some Qanon proponents, and folks from the Three Percenters militia group.
The group has gathered further away from the city than last weekend's event, and leaders have said they do not plan to go into Portland.
(That said, the last event wasn't slated to go downtown but ended up going there anyway.)
(That said, the last event wasn't slated to go downtown but ended up going there anyway.)
The caravan is starting to move. No counterprotesters on scene.
All the Proud Boy vehicles have tape over their license plates. 
So the caravan isn't planning to go into Portland, and the Proud Boys are peeling off to go to an event in Salem, which is where I'm headed.
Now in Salem, where there are people on opposing sides of a street. Guns on the right-wing side and at least one bat on the left-wing side. A few Proud Boys demanded to see my credentials, and one made some threatening comments so that I would leave their side of the street.
Right now things are calm, except for occasional yells from random people on either side of the street
The right wing crowd is growing in size as people from the pro-Trump caravan arrive. The folks in black bloc have added a paintball gun.
The right-wing crowd crossed the street and began pursuing the left-wing crowd, knocking one guy to the ground, punching him, then spraying him with mace.
The right wing crowd now ran in a large group towards a single person, attacking them in the park. Police came in to make arrests.
Police are pleading with the right-wing crowd, which includes many Proud Boy members, to move back to where their rally was supposed to be
Here is Eddie Coleman, 20, describing what happened and their injuries
A group of Proud Boys has left the area, but there are maybe 100 others remaining from the right-wing side.
From the earlier rush, here's footage from @MrOlmos, who is often right next to me but always comes away with footage that better shows what transpired.
The right-wing crowd has surrounded two more people.
Things have calmed amid a discussion of how much black clothing is an indication that you are antifa black bloc.
Things seem to be winding down, and the wildfire smoke is settling in. I'm heading out to have enough time to get back to Portland for tonight's protests.
(the protesters are not out tonight in Portland, seemingly due to wildfire smoke/conditions)
For the record, there was a protest event in Portland that drew a large crowd earlier today to Cathedral Park. Here's the scene via @PDocumentarians
One more thing from the right-wing attack on the one person in the park earlier today in Salem... @SmileItsNathan was closer than I was and captured the image below.
