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?

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

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 …
