August 22 2020 - Proud Boys, Qanon cultists, blue lives bootlickers and other assorted far-right scum traveled from all over the US to Portland for a “No Marxism in the US“ march, managing to bus and fly in a couple hundred right-wingers. Local antifascists, actually being from the city, quickly managed to call in a large amount of people to oppose the fascists in response.

The fascists sprayed huge amounts of mace and pepper spray and beat people, Proud Boy Alan Swinney pulled his gun and aimed it at people with his finger on the trigger, and Tiny Toese even maced a person in a wheelchair. All the while Portland police stood by and let the violent right-wing mob attack people as much as they wanted, while antiracist protests are attacked by riot police when someone throws an empty water bottle or someone walks in the street.

The coalition of antiracists, hardened by three months of battle with Portland police, held their line, protected each other and after about an hour of skirmishes started driving the far-right attackers back. The nerve of the bootlickers quickly broke and they started scattering in different directions, being chased by large crowds of antifascists, until all the fascists finally fled and left Portland again.

Of course, after the right-wing mob had fled and people were just staying in the area having a good time, making sure no more fascist were planning on attacking, the police finally decided to declare an unlawful assembly, and began attacking and arresting the antifascists still hanging around.

Cops will always side with the fascists because they are a far-right gang themselves, but Portland showed the power of community self defense. [video]/[video]/[video]/[article]
