Sorry, out of order: just before they left the water-throwers dropped a smoke bombpic.twitter.com/OjU5o5iypT

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

(Still working on footage but HUGE shout-out to everyone who just donated to my orange chicken experience, all of you are beautiful and I love you very much)

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

The far right piled into trucks and drove away. Well, they tried. One man nearly gets left behind here:pic.twitter.com/SzcSBb5gMr

As another group left, one of these self-proclaimed first amendment activists informed the press that they should, like, stop exercising their constitutional rights. Or somethingpic.twitter.com/f4zu1SGFCx

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 …
