Hi there, coming at you deep undercover from the Trump Caravan. Thread incoming The caravan is about to move from Oregon City up IT towards Multnomah. At an undisclosed point, law enforcement will facilitate a turnaround for those going to the All Lives Matter rally in Salem

High hundreds of trucks here at this point. It's about as big as the last caravan. Hard to tell because the parking lots are more spaced out here but numbers are SIGNIFICANT

A significant number of obscured plates: I will post footage shortly. Not all, but the core of the march A lot of rhetoric about peace today but the last speech was about the God-given right to go into cities with flags and the need to stand up for what's right

Stay tuned to this thread for footage and updates

(sorry, that's I5, I hate you autocorrect. The caravan will travel north on I5 from Oregon City to an undisclosed turnaround point, facilitated by law enforcement. At that point some portion, including the Proud Boys, will turn for Salem. The rest will continue to parts unknown)

Many, many obscured license plates. Do you suppose the police turnaround point cops will care?pic.twitter.com/0jDs1NOadP

On a side note if you see me out and about do NOT come near me, I just stood very close to a bunch of yelling maskless people also without a mask. Come through sunlight and fresh air and strategic breath-holding I'll get tested in a few days

Here's an interesting bus. Reminds me a bit of the American Guard bus from August 19, but it's not the same. I saw a pillow with a red rooster inside so my money is on Proud Boys (Tragically, 'red rooster' is NOT a metaphor) No license plates, obviouslypic.twitter.com/X1ZIyQ2a42

Proud boys directing traffic out of the community college and onto Trail's End. This is a VERY LARGE caravan Shout-out to the dude who did the cunnilingus tongue thing at me from his truck a little while ago, I'd rather die truly

HUGE shout-out to the 7 people in jeans and t-shirts with the Black Lives Matter sign flipping off the caravan right now

Whole caravan seems to be turning on 205 S towards Salem. I'm not seeing anyone heading north towards Portland. Also haven't seen that turnaroud point though, so that might be down the road. I'll keep you posted

Caravan has bypassed the I5 north exit and is now on I5 south still heading for Salem

Belay that: looks like a pit stop. I think the main body is continuing South
Show this thread -
Lots of people stopping here Sounds like the plan is to continue South so that's what I'm gonna do. Saw one of the drivers get out one of those small carbine-style handguns that fires 9mms. Blanking on the name Anyway, back on the road

I have arrived in Salem. A lot of the Trump caravan is here, but definitely NOT all of it. Did some go home? Did some go to Portland? I don't know, but stay alert wherever you are First AR sighting of the daypic.twitter.com/3cTy2nJehW

Absolute fuckton of weapons out here. Paintball guns, ARs, handguns, baseball bats

Police separating this crowd from counter-protesters, or at least that's what I'm being told It seems like the intel about Proud Boys coming here instead of Portland was correct. This is a far more militant event than the family-friendly car caravan. Not a lot of kids here
Show this thread -
After looking around, it seems to me the core element of the march is here. I don't think Portland needs to be worried right now. In a few hours it may be a different story Maybe 150-200 people here, very spread out. Heavily armed, like I said. A much more concerning crowd

It will surely be on the news shortly but some press people just got surrounded by people screaming "fake press!" Then someone shot paintball rounds at them Then someone came up and put an arm around press and said, I won't let anyone hurt you. We aren't like that!
Show this thread -
"We aren't like that!!" the others echo, ignoring the fact that they were exactly like that 30 seconds earlier when someone fired paint ball rounds at press

A lone person in bloc is playing a guitar solo surrounded by people unsure of what to do "Don't hit anyone with that guitar!" someone shouts

"This is as amped up as I've seen the Patriots!" the guy who said he wouldn't let anyone hurt press tells another protester excitedly. "We aren't staying on our side of the street today!" He discusses the anger everyone feels about Jay's death with other protesters for a while

A large contingent of Proud Boys are moving out, getting into cars at Court and Capitol

People just sort of standing around. The familiar boredom of a far right event without an enemy to focus rage and create excitement sets in
Show this thread -
There are maybe 6 black people here and they're all clustered in the middle to be interviewed by press

A period of extreme boredom. Then, suddenly, the armed men take off running and so do I I am told someone saw three Antifa cars. Apparently what tipped them off was that one of them was an Escalade, "and no one drives that shit in Salem!" George Soros really coming through
Show this thread -
No Antifas found. Crowd returns dejectedly to the park, where they will likely resume earlier conversations re: where Antifa are and when the crowd can fight them
