Video thread from Saturday's far right rally. Strap in, there's a lot!
We start the program with a thrown water bottle and a polite police announcement asking people not to do crimes, please

The far-right protesters bravely mace a woman directly in the face
(I should mention this whole thread is in chronological order: this is the first macing of the day)

Here we have a far-right protester escalating the situation by responding to some thrown water bottles with paintball rounds

An exchange of smoke bombs. Far Right throws first, then anti-fascisfs return the favor

Alan Swinney and unknown Chud friend: "So anyway, I started blasting"

Alan Swinney shoots at people, people don't like it. A spicy fight breaks out: mostly the far right macing everything and everyone

Here's the thing I thought was a gunshot. I heard a bang in the distance and then someone fell down
Thankfully, it was NOT a gunshot. But this person was still very much hurt by whatever happened
Notice how Swinney fires at the people attempting to render medical aid

A surreal announcement from the Portland Police Bureau asking protesters to respect each other while protesters exchange paintball fire
This is not an unlawful assembly, apparently: this is fine by the PPB. Very cool

A counter-protesters bangs a baseball bat on the pavement. Someone in the shield line takes a cowardly swing at his back
Then all hell breaks loose

@IwriteOK repeatedly assaulted by am asshole with a blue shield
I cannot confirm but I'd be willing to bet money this guy would tell you he's pro free speech if asked. But only speech he likes
Everyone else gets the boot

The far right charges into the park, macing indiscriminately, beating people, brawling
This is, apparently, not a riot. After all, not a single water bottle was thrown

It's a good thing @hungrybowtie is actually teargas-proof (and mace-proof too)
Again we have so-called first amendment activists macing the fuck out of am established journalist
Don't buy into their bullshit. They don't give a fuck about anyone's rights but their own

Just some more generic mayhem. Loving this ombre smoke, very Black Hawk Down

These law and order protesters fuck up the snack van with a baseball bat and armored gloves. Broken windows. The whole deal
Why? Who can say. Maybe they didn't like the giant BLM on the side. Maybe because I was filming from the roof
Chuds hate free speech

Judge me by my enemies

Police make their "be nice" announcement while the far right fucks up private property
They aren't refusing to help because we want abolition
We want abolition because they have ALWAYS refused to help those they consider "dangerous classes"
