Update: maybe 15 chuds at the JC. I see at least one AR. They are watching me tweet and talking shit, it's weird to be recognizable on sight. I just wanted to go for a Sunday runpic.twitter.com/AMwur3fKAE

No far right activity at the JC currently. There are perhaps 20 people doing a flag wave on the Gibbs St Pedestrian Bridge. They seem to be a family event at this time: mostly women, a few kids. No weapons. I think best to leave this one alone pending further developments

The man flagged an OHSU cop down and reported...someone counting things in the street? Not sure how he thought that was going to go for him The OHSU cop talked to Juniper, determined there was no problem, and left The man got on the phone

Within a few minutes of the man getting on the phone, armed far right activists showed up. I am receiving reports that they have removed BLM signs from the Cottonwood school next to the ICE building. When I drove by, I saw them having a conversation with a DHS officer

Then, all the armed protesters came over with a few others to explain that I'm not intimidated by them. Apparently if you don't break down crying, you're not intimidated. It's real interesting They told me for about ten minutes how pro free speech they are

I ended up leaving when I realized that a) I was relieving their boredom and that b) I was dangerously close to losing my cool. And if we don't have our cool, what do we have? Videos incoming
