THREAD: Yesterday following a pro-Trump/anti-lockdown protest in Salem, OR, riot police fired sting balls at conservatives and Proud Boys who refused to step back while trying to confront counter-protesters.

Filmed by @MaranieRae for @N2Sreports. Contact me for licensing.

In the moments before the sting-ball incident, portions of the right-wing crowd including Proud Boys came across a group of counter-protesters they identified as "antifa" and began chanting "Fuck antifa!" before police stepped in between.

Folks on the right got particularly agitated as two of the BLM counter-protesters made their way around the police line, one with a paintball gun and one with a firearm.

"What the fuck is going on?" asked one.

"Remove this man right now!" he ordered cops, who didn't listen.

Police charged at the right-wingers as a fight seemingly broke out in the distance.

Officers deployed tear gas and at least one flash grenade, and made a single arrest of a right-winger toward the end of this clip.

"Just tell them we're antifa and they'll give us a handjob!" yelled a conservative angry that one of his comrades was being arrested.

Police continued pushing forward against the right, using sting balls and tear gas.

"No more backing the blue!" one yelled at them.

"Fuck the blue!"

Originally, this sweatshirt reading "Back the blue PDX" with a thin blue line was brought in support of officers by the right.

By the end of the rally in Salem, Oregon, they were trying to burn it.

As the police dispersed, the right wingers took turns stepping on the thin blue line flag they had originally brought to support the cops.

"You have been declared to be treasonists," one yelled at officers leaving. "Only one punishment for treason."

"Fuck the blue!"

Earlier in the day, Trump supporters, Proud Boys and conservatives - some armed - had begun their rally at the state capitol in Salem, Oregon.

They spoke about preparing for "war" and how they were there to support Trump and oppose "Kate Brown's tyrannical emergency law."

The group marched in pouring rain to Gov. Kate Brown's mansion where they held more speeches:

"Even if there was a pandemic, one that was dangerous and spreading uncontrolled, no government body has the power to destroy our way of life by their order!"

Riot police came to protect the Governor's mansion, but violence didn't break out there.

"We will stand strong for our President Donald J Trump and we will not cower and back down to the hypocrites and tyranny of this pathetic lie!" one speaker said.

"End the lockdowns now!"

VIDEO THREAD: Armed gun owners in Virginia showed up outside the State Capitol in Richmond this afternoon to rally against new gun control measures awaiting signature from Governor Spanberger such as bans on the sale of "assault weapons" and large capacity magazines in the state.

2) Under the anticipated Virginia law, sale of 30-round magazines would be illegal beginning this summer.

Magpul donated boxes of 30-round AR-15 magazines which were distributed to the crowd for free, whose possession would theoretically be grandfathered in.

3) Police confronted a man over having a suppressor on his rifle, which they apparently isn't allowed per a new ordinance in Richmonf.

"F***ing a**holes. F*** them. Tyrants," he explained, without complying. "They can go f*** themselves. This is my American right right here."

THREAD: The suspect in today's shooting at Old Dominion University has been identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh.

Jalloh had been convicted of providing material support for terrorism after being in contact with ISIL and at least one FBI informant and FBI undercover agent.

2) In 2016, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh entered the FBI's radar when an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) was in contact with an unindicted co-conspirator (UCC1) allegedly in ISIL.

UCC1 referred CHS1 to meet with Jalloh, which the FBI surveilled.

3) Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, who allegedly killed a retired military officer during an ROTC class today, told the FBI informant in 2016 he quit the military after watching lectures by Anwar al-AuIaqi, the Islamic cleric and U.S. Citizen President Obama killed in a drone strike in 2011.

He reportedly admired Mohamed Yousef Abdulaziz, who killed 5 U.S. service members in 2015.

VIDEO THREAD: Armed gun rights activists rallied at the Virginia State Capitol on Monday to protest proposed gun measures under new Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger.

The Virginia Kekoas militia wore "Boogaloo" style attire for the first time publicly since 2023.

"All the rights, for all the people, all the time" explained the group's leader, who goes by ICE (which is not a reference to the agency of the same name). "We're just going back to our heritage, where we started."

"Things are a little bit more serious this year," explained the Kekoas member who goes by Sasquatch. "This is our unofficial battle cry!"

"I swear I'm not a swinger," he clarified, referencing the pineapples on his Hawaiian shirt.

2) "I'm generally a pretty liberal person, but when I saw videos of ICE jumping out of unmarked vehicles and nabbing people off the street, that's when I bought my first AR15," one attendee of the gun rally explained.

"We're facing tyranny right now, and I want to be prepared if that stuff comes to my neighborhood."

"Tyrannical government, whatever your take on it, that's the point of these bad boys right here," Virginia Kekoas militia member call-sign cross responded to that position, slapping the butt of his rifle.

3) The Virginia Capitol lawn was closed off to attendees carrying firearms, splitting the crowd into those carrying and not.

A man dressed as George Washington attempted to argue with police that his musket is "not a firearm" but was not allowed to pass.

VIDEO THREAD: Pardoned January 6er Jake Lang attempted to hold an anti-Muslim "Crusader March" in Minneapolis today where he was swarmed with hundreds of counter-protesters.

Scuffles broke out, and one of his members sprayed mace around the crowd.

2) Amidst "Feels like -7 F" degree temperatures, protesters sprayed Lang and his crew with water guns as well as silly string while drowning him out with music over a loudspeaker.

Lang apparently was prepared to leave, but couldn't find a path as protesters continued to physically challenge him and his group.

"Let them leave!" some protesters yelled.

3) Lang, who fought police with a baseball bat at the Capitol on January 6, was struck with a wooden stick by a counter-protester.

He grabbed it, briefly holding it up in triumph and keeping control of it until it was grabbed out of his hands.

VIDEO THREAD: Federal agents deployed tear gas, mace, and sting balls against a growing crowd at the scene Wednesday night in Minneapolis following a shooting by ICE.

Some protesters shot fireworks and threw snowballs at the agents, many of whom carried rifles.

2) Agents moved fast while trying to evade the crowd. In one case, the feds got into the bed of a truck, dropped pepper spray and had to get out to grab it before a firework was thrown at them, for which they threw tear gas in return.

3) The scale of the conflict was enormous, spanning a few blocks in each direction from the shooting, lasting a couple hours.

Protesters exchanged fireworks and tear gas on one side of the shooting scene as others engaged with police on the opposite side.

VIDEO THREAD: Pardoned January 6er Jake Lang held a "Crusader" rally outside AIPAC Sunday afternoon, throwing (chocolate) gold coins at attendees dressed as politicians and suggesting "their Jewish money" has caused a "brownification of America."

A couple counter-protesters including former elected official Patricia Eugenio demonstrated against Lang and his group.

FOOTAGE FOR DOCUMENTARY, NEWS PURPOSES ONLY.

2) Ivan Raiklin, an advocate for the January 6er's, confronted Lang at the podium.

While maintaining a cordial tone, he said Lang has "got it all wrong" by focusing on immutable attributes rather than "deep state traitors" "based on their actions, and actions alone."

3) Lang and Raiklin jokingly wrestled for the mic before Raiklin suggested that "You're about a block away from your employer, right? FBI Washington Field office?"

"Says the guy who never got indicted for January 6!" Lang replied.

"I'm that good!" Raiklin replied. "I run feds."
