    Portland Proud Boys rally ends with NO major clashes despite fears

    Portland Proud Boys rally ends with NO major clashes

    The right-wing rally drew a large crowd of supporters of Trump and his 'law and order' campaign. It was organized by the Proud Boys which the Southern Poverty Law Center has called a hate group Boys but the rally ends with NO major clashes despite fears the pro-Trump event would be targeted by BLM as police seize 'condom bombs' from counter-protesters and investigate assault on man

    Portland Mayor said the arrival of the right-wing groups poses the 'greatest threat we've faced so far..' Mr mayor.. The march was peaceful compared to the destruction caused by BLM marches..

    About 1,000 people rallied in Portland, Oregon alongside the right-wing Proud Boys group on Saturday and another group of about 500 staged an anti-fascist counter-protest in a nearby park

    Proud Boys waved MAGA flags and were seen distributing shields to their group during the rally

    At counter-protest, cops also found and seized buckets full of rocks and condoms filled with a noxious liquid

    The right-wing rally drew a large crowd of supporters of Trump and his 'law and order' campaign, The group vowed to end 'domestic terrorism' and stop 'violent gangs of rioting felons' in the city's streets

    Oregon Gov. Kate Brown Friday declared a state of emergency in Portland Friday amid fears of clashes

    The crowd of 1,000 was 10% of the upper end 10K projection, and the thing was over and done in 90 minutes. Glad no one got hurt at that one or the other.

    It's interesting that open carry of guns is okay, but open carry of rocks and stink bombs is not. Maybe rocks need their own constitutional amendment.

        But they were just being peaceful to mock the left-wing "demonstrators."

                Frick and Frack highly disappointed that someone can pull off a peaceful rally. They really like to see some reparation looting, property damage, burning of hard working merchants property, etc.

                  One usually doesn't try to assume. But no one wants to see any property damage, looting, or public unrest.

                  However, name a society that riotng does not exist in history. The means of dealing with it, varies a bit.

                    Name a society (except the US) in which rioting is celebrated & encouraged by the mass media; that is, the "right kind" of rioting.

                      The fact that the march was peaceful didn't matter? What did matter was that it wasn't as big as it should have been.

                        Name one that it isn't? This country was founded on insurrection. It's enshrined in our protections and principles, and you use it as a punchline.

                          That should be easy for you to cough up an example, right? Wrong. The whole BLM=riots thing is not reality based.

                          Boston riots in 1770s damaging private property are celebrated on the right.

                            It's very telling that the media refers to the Patriot Boys as demonstraters and BLM, Antifa, and others as "counter proterters" rather than use their names. And by the way, who is this Southern Lawfirm that is identified by the media eeverytime they mention the Patriot Boys?

                            Following that lead, they should identify George Floyd as a petty criminal caught passing a counterfeit $20 bill, and B Taylor as the girlfried of a suspected (she knew) drug dealer.

                            Do illegal things or hang around those that do, you can expect to meet the police.

                              Merely one of the most far-left radical orgs in the country, with a special hatred for Southern white culture & traditions...which is WHY the left-wing media always quotes them as "experts." They're experts, all right--experts in pushing a far-left radical agenda.
