What America do you live in?





Well, Well.
The police did their job and went after those that got violent. No patriot casualties, but the night is still young.


Up next San Francisco.

Ruptly had the best location for live stream, but very poor video quality.


INFOwars had 4 separate Live Streams going. One of the new hires own Youtube Live account and a Drone over the entire event.
They had overall the bst coverage Live.

The Antifa presence was lighter than in the past. They suffered many losses and casualties in past events. No doubt their ranks are dwindling as their members find jobs in Trump’s economy and abandon extremism.

It's nice to have so many cameras there. Any antifa fascist actions will be there for the entire world to see. They really aren't going to get away with much without making themselves look bad.

If I have to choose between white supremacists and anti-fascists ~ I would to be on the anti-fascist side.
"start your own thread " So you own the OPs agenda, and want to nullify the speech of a member. Sounds a lot like a Antifa tactic .

Its America . Americans can travel anywhere ,even to Portland. They also had a PERMIT, Antifa did not.

From friends who live in Portland (and various Portland news sources), sounds like Portland Police got tired of both sides, told them this was now a civil disturbance and made them all pack up and go. The majority of the people there today were there to hold signs and chant against the Proud Boys - of course most news sources will only show the small number of PB people and antifa people who engaged them - but they were NOT the majority of people there.

Anyone who thinks that the PB or antifa came out of this looking better needs to watch/listen to less biased sources. It is actually amazing that so few people got hurt, considering the mouthing off the Proud Boys leader has been doing all week about being armed and being tough and ready for a fight. Portland Police pretty much told him to behave, stop inciting violence or get arrested, his choice.

And of course, as usual, the antifa folks were blameless little angels.
