On my way to Revolution Hall here in #Portland with @TheRealCoryElia to check out what's going on tonight for the @villageportland.
Just arrived and there's a VERY healthy sized crowd of a couple hundred here.
It appears that a march is getting under way.
Oops. It was a just a mass of folks crossing the street.
Hundreds of people up near Revolution Hall and there's a march beginning to form in the street.
Coming from a #Eugene and #Springfield protest background, I can admit that I'm overwhelmed by sheer number of people here.
The march is under way and I GREATLY underrated its size. Easily 1000 people.
One lonesome OSP cruiser

The front doors of Central Catholic High School have been spray painted #portlandprotest
Flashlights are on and the crowd is singing
We are back at Revolution Hall where the march began.
Speeches behind Revolution Hall now and the back doors were spray painted at some point.
We just got to the Justice Center
A loud bang was just heard and everyone is walking towards them.

A man says "I've heard a lot of loud explosions when downtown"
Some are saying it was a car accident but others question because of how loud it was
The crowd is now chanting "fuck Ted Wheeler"
Another flag is being burned
Being told by witnesses that the windows at the JC are being smashed from the inside.

I was too busy across the street where a person of color has rolled up in a car and is waving a mini confederate flag
He's threatening to pull a gun and is shuffling through his car
Note: no license plate

Just arrived.
Rode past a ton of PPB in several cruisers and im walking towards the rally.
The crowd is currently listening to Indigenous chants.

I can't help but tear up a little.

It appears the man is having a mental health crisis and he's parked across the street.
The crowd has moved to another intersection

Hiyaaaa, I'm heading towards campus in a few for the @DailyEmerald to check out @Eblack_unity's "The Myth of Reverse Racism" protest and (assumed) march starting around 6 p.m.
Uhhh it's been an hour and it hasn't started yet but it appears they're getting prepared.

I'm here for the @DailyEmerald at @uoregon's Johnson Hall for a continuation of the last 24hr long occupation here.
It's 7 pm and the crowd isn't very large.
A round of applause for those chained in front of the doors.

Heading out in a few minutes to meet my @DailyEmerald colleagues for another night of #SpringfieldOregon protest reporting.
I'm here.

Not too many folks here on the protest side but the counter-protest across the intersection is sizeable.
