This is just a reminder that Proud Boys are not a white supremacist group.
There are black, Hispanic and Asian Proud Boys.
Just thought I should put it out there before MSM lies…

Joe Biggs, the organizer for the Proud Boys event in Portland gave an interview in which he said that if anything happens today it will be because of Antifa.

In response to the planned protest, multiple anti-fascist groups plan to gather at the same time at North Portland’s Peninsula Park, about three miles away. Another group, Safe PDX Protest, said they plan to meet at Delta Park before the Proud Boys rally begins.

A violent far-right group is staging a rally at Delta Park that’s scheduled to begin at noon. Attendees have already begun showing up at the park.
In response, a number of counter-demonstrations are planned today.

A large law enforcement presence is expected as Oregon State Police and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office were ordered by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown to assist the Portland Police Bureau (PPB), taking the lead in crowd control during the anticipated demonstrations. Additionally, OSP announced Saturday morning part of PPB’s Rapid Response Team (RRT) were deputized as Federal Marshalls. This means if anyone attacks these newly appointed officers individuals could face federal prosecution for assault.

It seems that there would be a lot of clashes today and one just got underway.
There is a video that shows the Proud Boys chasing Antifa away, it seems that Antifa is nothing when they are equal or outnumbered.

The police reacted immediately to prevent the escalation of the problem.
