The chuds have stopped at 2nd and Main now that they no longer have the "chased out of Portland we are victims" narrative going on If I seem more, um, colorful than usual it's because I just got threatened with an AR-15 and I didn't like it
A Black activist is talking about the bullshit the chuds apparently spewed on black-on-black crime. About the importance of fighting against the police state, housing as a right, sex worker rights, casual racism, institutional racism Feeling better already
@suzettesmith reminds me that Jail Support is over in the direction the chuds headed. We sprint over
Confrontation on 2nd and Madison. Paintballs and mace deployed, something thrown from abovepic.twitter.com/JmNN0NPQ6n
Not loving the trigger discipline by threatening asshole herepic.twitter.com/CM95zQB6XT
Cops have entered the situation: appear to be going into the parking garage on 2nd and Madison where the chuds are raining projectiles down on the small counterprotest. Things are not always one-sided but today? All aggression coming from the chud side since I got here
Cops entering the garage where some of the chuds are. I walk through a cloud of mace like an amateurpic.twitter.com/odRJT3ieTE
The chuds are leaving. A group of counter-protesters decide to enter the garage and capture plates as the cars leave. Many have plates obscured They're yelling at the cars. People in the cars are armed. Everyone's tense and scared. Close quarters. This is not a good plan

The cops stand guard so that the far right can safely leavepic.twitter.com/JUrZE1rQ5r
It looks like the far-right portion of today is over, at least I'm not a big selfie person: not my style. But I'm posting this one so you can see exactly what I looked like when I was threatened I am not in bloc. I am wearing a press passpic.twitter.com/ub2em1TSVH
Looks like things are over, thank God. A few people from the counterprotest are at Chapman trying to help the houseless people whose stuff got fucked with I'm told someone has brought supplies and tents. I love this city sometimes Gonna stick around for a few more minutes
(I want to make it clear that it's not OK to threaten someone for filming no matter what they are wearing. Definitely did not mean to imply otherwise. I just wanted to make it real clear that in no way did I appear threatening)
Folks I'm heading out. I'm going to pet my dog and maybe have a nice glass of whiskey. Read something nice. Chill till 7 Solidarity with everyone still out here
Wow I am getting a lot of pushback on my trigger discipline comment You're all correct: his finger is not literally resting on the trigger. His discipline could be much worse It could also, in my personal opinion, be better. Like, not resting directly over the guard
It is my personal belief that if you're gonna carry a goddamn AR-15 in a tense urban environment full of civilians you should make it very clear to everyone that your finger is away from the trigger It should rest either above the guard or, optimally, not be extended at all
What does my delicate feminine brain know about trigger discipline? I deployed twice to Afghanistan with the 82nd AIrborne Division and while I did not see combat I definitely know my way around a fucking M-4 thanks
Finger resting just below the guard, over but not on the upper part of the trigger. Magazine loadedpic.twitter.com/4zRK4ACatt
A few people have pointed out that the guy with the AR-15 who threatened me sure looks a lot like the guy I interviewed a week ago I guess he didn't like how that went for himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhGUdDbJY5c …
this really hurt my feelings and I would hate it if all of the people who dislike me did the same thing, please do NOT cashapp me money for the opportunity to call me names I would absolutely hate it if this became a thingpic.twitter.com/LpjaPYiKlj
