Hi there. I am on the ground at Historic Vanoirt. There are some facts you need to know about this location Tl;dr: I could not design a better kettle if I triedhttps://twitter.com/safePDXprotest/status/1308801736878862336 …

There is no parking here. There are fields farther down with gates so no one can park there. The only parking is maybe .25 miles down the road, so people will have to walk in

Here is a picture of the gate that will be the only way out of this kettle should the proud boys, say, pull up with a couple of trucks and block the road and set up interlocking fields of firepic.twitter.com/ATVPCs1JZV

Hollywood has taught us that good guys always win with enough gumption and the power of friendship and the right ideas Real life does not work that way There have been massacres in this country before and they have not changed a goddamn thing about the injustices of our system

Please think carefully about what you want to do on Saturday. I do not want to see my community hurt There is a great event at Peninsular Park which seems like the right move to mehttps://twitter.com/PopMobPDX/status/1309573601964613632?s=19 …

It's possible that this event is taking place at the Vanport Historical Marker rather than Historic Vanport. The fact that it's hard to tell is itself troubling. I am at the Vanport Historical Marker which has the advantage of not being a deathtrap, but not much else

This location is a 9 minute walk to Delta Park, if one was inclined to walk over to a larger group of armed far-right extremists who have made no secret of their desire to murder Black Lives Matter activistspic.twitter.com/S1ilMQ95VE

One advantage of this area is it's hard to drive to. The Proud Boys will have a car caravan, and they'll have to single file in if they decide to go here Again though, the event flier say "Historic Vanport," which is the kettle-dream I described above
