Here's riot cops in Portland rushing and hitting me, @DonovanFarley, and others on the sidewalk. I don't know why they did this. #AllOutPDX #DefendPDX
Like my old football coaches, these cops were not impressed with my hustle. Unlike my old football coaches, they have batons and a living wage.
here's a full 12 minute video, starting when Portland police rushed the protesters, shot rounds, set off explosions. 9:47 is when they rushed me (again). GoPro mounted on my DSLR. Haven't looked at my pictures yet. vimeo.com/283222494 #DefendPDX #AllOutPDX

On Sat there will be a #HimToo rally in Portland. The event, organized by a local conservative young woman, is meant to bring attention to men who have been falsely accused of sex crimes. Antifa, Democratic Socialists of America, etc planning mass protest. oregonlive.com/portland/index…
This is the mild event description for the Portland #HimToo event. In response, Portland’s far left has chosen to rage and claim this is an event for misogyny, racism, and fascism.
I was assaulted by a mob of masked individuals in black. They also targeted my equipment. They called me a fascist & Islamophobe. They said my parents & grandparents would be ashamed of me. It feels surreal to be treated this way by people who don’t even know me.

Extreme far-left groups descending on downtown Portland tonight for election day.
They are rallying to demand the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “...what immigrant families are experiencing today, closely resembles life in Nazi Germany.” #Portland
Footage from the open borders protest on election day in #Portland. "ACAB. All cops are bastards." "F— ICE, no KKK, no fascist USA."

Follow along here for my protest coverage of the Patriot Prayer protest in downtown Portland. Someone put up some signage in downtown Portland, mentions the Proud Boys. Stay tuned
Here is the planned route through downtown Portland. Absolutely subject to change. And those fliers are everywhere down here. I wouldn’t be quick to assume that local antifascists put those up. Would absolutely fit the far-right’s MO to hype themselves up in this way
First sign of action at the Patriot Prayer event: dude circling the block with an American flag. “Alpha male” looks to have been drawn onto the back of his shirt.

Ok here’s my thread for #AllOutPDX today #Portland
Proud Boys / Patriot Prayer kicked out of parking lot in Vancouver WA by property owners.

Russell Schultz of Patriot Prayer says they’ll march outside Portland waterfront park today because they don’t want to be subjected to police search.
About 80 Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer gearing up to go into Portland. They’re at the boat launch in Marine Park in Vancouver, WA

So the feds gave the #OccupyICEPDX camp the order to clear out or face arrest.
Remember how the US flag was removed from the roof of the Portland ICE building? A new flag was added. This new flag says “refugees welcome.”
