Authorities in Portland, Oregon, appear to have given violent antifa militants free rein to assault journalists and innocent bystanders at will in the streets of the city.
…
And over the weekend, local videographer Brandon Brown and several other independent journalists were attacked by a menacing mob of antifa militants while filming a demonstration in downtown Portland.
The “orange liquid” sprayed over Brandon Brown’s face was bear mace. It’s an oil that burns & doesn’t easily wash off. Antifa have been using it as a weapon of choice in attacks against journalists they dislike. Brown did nothing to provoke this violence: https://t.co/BGqU1g5vFq pic.twitter.com/ZhsgQQlDZe

The antifa goons showed up to counter-protest a planned Ku Klux Klan/white supremacy rally at a downtown park, but that rally was apparently a hoax that was cancelled at the last minute. With nothing else to do, the militants targeted journalists who showed up to cover the event, the police, public property, and at least one person on their own side
Antifa Goons Allowed to Go on Another Violent Rampage in Portland
I wonder how long it os going to take for Portland Antifa to decide to carve out a “safe zone” for themselves? Have their own little empire, a few blocks of Portland where they are the absolute law and the cops are not allowed to patrol. We have seen this in Europe and in Venezuela of lately where they even have their own currency. I cannot shake the idea that Portland is a gigantic Petri dish where an experiment is being conducted by those elected to power as mandated by those behind them. If there is a place that needs a Who Is John Galt?, Portland fits the bill 100%

They already did it. From 17 June 2017 until 29 June 2017, the Communist Revolutionary Cosplay Committee (a.k.a., Antifaschistische Aktion) blockaded the U.S. Department of Homeland Security offices in downtown Portland. They terrorized the neighborhood, sold and consumed drugs in the open, staggered around stoned or drunk, and threatened the owner of a non-profit food cart with violence and threats against his teenage daughter so vile that he closed the business.

After twelve days of inaction from the city, the feds threatened to bring in the FBI, ICE, and Marshals. The city council finally backed off and let the police clear it out.
The Communist Cosplay Committee will try this again. Only bigger. They’re just waiting for the weather to get warmer.
This summer is going to suuuuuck in Portland.
That was an aperitif… In Caracas there is one that encompasses several square miles and possibly a population close to 70K.
I sure we’re going to find out that Antifa is the ones fabricating the KKK and white supremacist rallies just to give them a reason to bash people and the Leftists in Portland the plausible deniability to give Antifa room to bash under the pretext of “defending communities of color.”
The number of KKK members in the US is so low, I don’t think they could get 100 people together to have a rally/protest.
Regardless, I love how Antifa is so strong and violent in places where the cops and citizens are not allowed to defend themselves.
Do we know what happened to the reporter that drew his weapon when a bunch of antifa thugs first conspired to attack him, then tracked him down, attacked him and then ran when he drew his weapon?
Last I heard he was going to Jail and the Antifa Thugs were “the victims”
