Antifa Thugs Force Portland Police To Retreat During Protest After Throwing Projectiles
Antifa took to the street of Portland on Saturday to protest “antifascism” even though they are literally the only group who actually is antifascist.
An antifascist is someone who is opposed to a given political philosophy or regime and forcibly suppresses the opposition. That sounds exactly like Antifa to me. They are the ones who go out in the streets and physically assault anyone who isn’t affiliated with them, even old women with walkers.
They recently held another protest in Portland and of course with Portland police just let them do whatever they wanted practically. They even had to retreat from Antifa after they started throwing things at the police officers.
Saturday’s demonstration came in response to a previous social media rumor that the Ku Klux Klan was organizing a white supremacy rally at or around the downtown Portland park Saturday.
No Klan rally took place. It’s not clear if an actual event had been organized.
Shortly after 8 a.m., Portland police tweeted, “The organizer for the [Klan] rally in front of the Multnomah County Courthouse has communicated to PPB he has cancelled the event planned for this morning and does not intend to show up. PPB continues to monitor the situation.”
Counter-protesters showed up regardless, including antifascist activists, or antifa.
According to police, officers attended the event and stayed away while it was peaceful, but officers intervened when “some people in the group began acting in a violent, threatening manner against attendees who were legally capturing photos and videos.”

There were three Antifa members arrested:
Heaven Davis, 19, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief.
Brandon Farley, 31, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Willy Cannon, 25, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and abuse of a memorial to the dead.
These people need to designated as a domestic terrorist organization that way our officers can put them behind bars by the hundreds.
