My favorite thing to do on a Sunday, personally, is debate with an angry dude whose hand rests decisively on his rifle whilst he tells me to fuck off Always nice to see civil discoursepic.twitter.com/ei4L2iexqy

A counterprotester steals a cross and stomps on it He then attempts to piss on it, but it's real hard to do that while everyone's watching I have cut that part of the video because there is a dick in itpic.twitter.com/ZR20uoJ8b5

He then attempts to light the cross on fire This is, in my opinion, kind of a bad look I mean, it's free speech, absolutely. Protected under the constitution But a bad look nonetheless The far right certainly is not into itpic.twitter.com/UPg5FWG8PF

I get down and film conflicts that are almost conflicts but do not, thankfully, become violent Meanwhile, the protest takes off around the block I have been told that a far-right demonstrator maced someone and then got maced in the face but cannot confirm first-hand

The journalist with the Trump hat and can of mace goes to talk to the cops parked a block away. Comes back with a bottle of what I assume is eyewash solution for mace How the fuck are you gonna bring mace but not eyewash?! Poor planning.

The far right has left some of their buddies behind. Scattered escalations that don't quite erupt into violence. Nothing worth posting

Well everything just went to shit. A counter-protester snuck up to try and steal a can of mace off the belt of a far right protester. Huge hairball of a fight. I'll post but I need to blur faces Now the cops are coming. Cool

A rare daytime performance of DJ LRAD. Get out of the street or face arrest It's a little confusing since the cops are blocking the whole street

The cops stop blocking the street and hang out on the side so the counter-protesters can yell at the remnant of the far right rally and can we all just go home maybe?pic.twitter.com/8UtmVOeFAr

The far right protest escorted out piecemeal. Various fights. Macing. Shit thrown My battery is at 5%, I'll upload footage at home. But I gotta tell you this is real depressing. Today is not a PR victory for the left And yeah, that matters At least no one got shot?

Currently following behind the last few far-right protesters as counter-protesters shout NAZIS GO HOME!! They finally climb into the back of a pickup and leave in a rain or water bottles I think it's over!pic.twitter.com/pp2MUNlfJK

Nope The journalist with the mace and the Trump hat drives by to pick someone up. A counter-protester breaks his driver-side mirror Shouts for a medic. Not sure what happened there

There may be less footage than originally promised. Unfortunately most of my rolling-fight footage has just...so many faces. I could blur them manually but it would take all day and probably all night too.

To get an idea of what the last bit of the rally was like, imagine a 10-minute walk through downtown Portland with the far-right and counter-protesters screaming back and forth at each other Doing that thing where confrontations almost but don't quite become fights
Show this thread -
At one point, a confrontation threatened to turn violent and a counter-protester sprayed mace at a far-right demonstrator. The demonstrator was not hit, though a counter-protester did walk through the cloud of mace and required some medical attention

That outburst is especially interesting since I'm pretty sure that's the same guy I interviewed at the start of this rally Currently uploading that to this thread:https://twitter.com/1misanthrophile/status/1312946216083234816?s=19 …
