Correction: there is one BLM protester also with an AR15. No magazine, in a case "It sends a message," he says to me We discuss the 2nd amendment and how it applies to everyone
Another AR-15 on the BLM side. This is an interesting development He tells me he decided to come armed in part because of that video of the AR-15 threat. That his aim is to keep things de-escalated
BLM chants. Blue Lives Matter stand quiet Things actually feel pretty calm. The far right is outnumbered and they seem content to simply wave their flagspic.twitter.com/OlZw5GvmPI
A chant: "Back the blue? Who the fuck are you?! Back the black! We are ready to attack!"
Chandler Pappas (a far-right activist) over the megaphone: "You guys talk about freedom, but then you try to make me wear the mask. What's up with that?" Laughter
A car attempts to get through "Pretty sure the road isn't closed," the driver says "Nope, but you aren't getting through!" She eventually leavespic.twitter.com/lfHt5MI2R6
That Trump truck at the end of the last clip just drove past at great speed on Morrison, revving his engine The street is somewhat more clear than it was a moment ago
It's that tense period where they seem to be about ready to go This is when the violence tends to happen, if it's gonna happen I have to leave for an appointment on about 10 minutes; it would be very considerate of them if they'd leave quickly right nowpic.twitter.com/UogdUMNBX8

I'm afraid I have to take off--I'm going to find out whether the tingling sensation in my fucked-up toe is anything to worry about If this is still going after it's over, I'll be back. Hopefully they just, like...leave Solidarity with everyone still out here!
Aaaand the urgent care X-ray machine is broken so I guess I'm back. God clearly wants me to film the far right. Who am I to question His terrible plans? Things appear to be winding down. Many of the BLM protesters have left. The far right remains here. Roughly even numberspic.twitter.com/ASYyhWuiQl
An unusual occurance: the Blue Lives Matter protesters turn and leave. Wave goodbye. No one follows Could it be...over?pic.twitter.com/Qm1QrSux6B
Nope BLM protesters follow One of the far right protesters accuses one of the BLM protesters of breaking his car "Yeah? What's the next step?" Tense standoff. Hands on guns. All the guns are on the far right side now
An argument about whether the police are right or wrong to use tear gas. What's gonna happen next week. Etc Lot of shoutingpic.twitter.com/iBp7GhfVjR
Meanwhile a cop and a man in a suit watch from next to the District Courthouse A BLM protester tells me they're pretty sure the cop just spoke into his radiopic.twitter.com/qba0Thtbs1
Blue Lives Matter on the move again "Move back! Move back!" the BLM protesters chant as they followpic.twitter.com/nMVnMxrMx5
Omg, gun guy has opened the JC door and standing inside With his gun I'm like, 90% sure that's illegalpic.twitter.com/VzzvWQPJH7
Gun guy claiming he called the cops A police car drives past. Gun guy gestures. The cop does not turn his head
Omg someone inside the JC asked Gun Guy to leave the doorway, then locked the door behind him
The 4 Blue Lives Matter folks go to their parking garage, enter the elevator, and leave It is ACTUALLY over A few celebratory shouts of "MOVE BACK!" as the protesters leavepic.twitter.com/s4rJ8Jr8m0
Nope, it's never over in Portland Protesters wait at the parking garage exit for the far right to emerge One of them speeds by with a "fuck you!" A few more to go
One of the far right cars now barricaded in This doesn't seem likely to end super well for anyonepic.twitter.com/wSu5iTDv9k
A few cops watching from across the street An undercover car orders the protesters to clear the way Black Rebel peels out like a madman The undercover car turns, sirens on, and gives chase. Cheers Somehow I get none of this on film goddamn it. I'm rusty
Looks like the police stopped giving chase immediately. Dejected, the protesters return to the garage, where a police car is now parked by the garagepic.twitter.com/UrbVWT22nT
Apparently Black Rebel sprayed bear mace out of his window. Two protesters being treated now. Video incoming--I didn't get it, but an intrepid protester got some extremely good footage
One of the people who got maced was press: @R3volutionDaddy, who is a bear mace magnet. Not fair :(
Omg it's finally over That's it that's the tweet
