I watched on the KOIN Live stream.
Antifa just could not help themselves. They hate cops as much as they hate Patriot Prayer and Proud Boys.
They started throwing rocks and bottles at the police line keeping them on THEIR side of the street. So a bunch of angry cops responded with tear gas, flash bangs and clubs.
They drove them several blocks away, leaving Patriot Prayer to have their demonstration unmolested.
I am CERTAIN the mayor of Portland is p!ssed. His core constituency was assaulted by his cops.
All in all, a great victory for Free Speech and the Right to Assemble. And the rule of law.
These folks did a great service to the nation today.
Kudos to Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys.

Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys - are these people we can support?

These antifa communists want to overthrow the US and defile the Constitution. That should be enough to lock them up. We need Joe McCarthy back

The news articles I have seen make no distinction between the Antifa and Patriot Prayer and Proud Boys.
Is there a video we can watch that shows the action?

Note that this is happening in Portland. If you are going to fight, it is always better to fight on the enemies turf.
In cases like this, where you are dealing with the insane Antifa, which are kind of anarchist/communists, they love to destroy peoples property... just because!
When peoples property gets destroyed on leftists home turf, by Antifa... They are going to be mad at Antifa.

...one counterprotester was sent to the hospital with a skull fracture. So it wasn't all bad then.

Never mind. He would not dare!

I am glad that Patriots Paryer & Pround boys protest, because if normal folks wanted to have a Trump rally, Antifa would hurt people if they aren’t given some “push back.”. Portland could rid themselves of these confrontations if they prohibited the wearing of face masks during these protests. Trouble is the leftist government loves their commie fascist thugs

Yep - he has had zero problem with the pro-violence BLM/ANTIFA/Occupy Ice thugs, but expressed real "concerns" over a conservative group who really wanted to rally peacefully....and his favorite pets are the ones who started the violence....go figure..
