Portland, under the incompetent leftist Mayor Tom Wheeler, looks like a Third World city once again. Last night participants with the right-wing fraternal organization, the Patriot Prayer group, and counter-demonstrators with Antifa got into a bloody melee outside a popular bar where members on both sides used bear spray, fists, and clubs to beat each other, the Oregonian reported.
Police ended up firing pepper balls and other non-lethal impact munitions to break up the brawls and there were no immediate reports of arrests. Earlier in the evening, police reported seeing participants from both groups with hard-knuckle gloves, knives, and firearms.
Two events brought out the Proud Boys and Antifa, according to the Oregonian. One was the Antifa mobs harassing drivers and an elderly citizen last week. The other took place on Friday when a viral video surfaced showing members of the Proud Boys beating two or three protesters in New York City after an event at the Republican Party headquarters.
There are reports that the ‘protesters’ — the communists — beat up a man for attending the lecture prior to this assault and had gone back, perhaps to harm others.
Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson organized “Flash march for Law and Order in PDX” yesterday to protest Tom Wheeler. Several Proud Boys are members of his group.
Matt Bivens, who operates as a freelance left-wing journalist took video of both groups brawling.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Portland street brawl like the one @itsmikebivins captured on video tonight. In less than 15 seconds, a guy gets thrown into a Kelly Olympian window and a cop breaks up a fight with rubber bullets. https://t.co/ARcSb1CDAf

Even better was this. The guy who was sucker punching people bleeding and screaming for help after he got cornered by the people he was sucker punching. (Side note: Even after all that a Proud Boy tries to help him.) The sniveling starts at 2:10 https://t.co/HnaanqVJEV
