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
