I'm actually in Portland for the weekend and was in Portland seeing the Trump supporters caravans come in, they were there to agitate. BLM Protestors have been going to the same "DMZ" zone for 95 days. Trump Supporters brought their guns and mace, almost ran over a few people.
It's a 4 block radius, most the buildings tagged are government buildings and Portland State University around the corner is untouched, once you get out of the 4 block radius, it's quiet and peaceful, park and soccer field around the corner had people there like nothing is going on. Most people don't have a problem with the protestors though it does seem they're a little exhausted of it being in the local news everyday.
I agree the far-right and far-left need to be toned down and held accountable for their actions. The Governor should be calling in the National Guard to maintain order while Mayor Wheeler I think should resign and the PPB are completely useless at this point. As for Joey Gibson, they tried to stop people from attacking him, it was 4 people and others got involved and stopped it. Andy Ngo is a liar and even posted that it was a black man that shot and killed the Trump supporter, the shooter was confirmed as a white male.
Joey Gibson also violated his plea deal, he's been charged with a felony for you guessed it, inciting riots. Proud Boys who Patriot Prayer is affiliated with have been designated a far-right extremist group with heavy ties to white supremacy/neo-nazi ideology. The Antifa people are there looking for a fight, so is Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer. As Michael Rappaport put it these people are doing this as some kind of fetish hobby.
So for everyone saying it's chaos in Portland it's not. I'm writing this in the city right now. It's isolated to one area but this is honestly going to escalate if the Governor doesn't do something and don't allow Trump to do something stupid and send the Feds back in. I would be sending in the National Guard to hold everyone honest and accountable from the Portland Police Bureau, far-right and far-left.
