I hope that there are cameras, I wish that they could identify everyone of them.

The gentleman with the paint gun, wonder what he would have done if the person in the truck has mistakenly believed that he had a real gun, and shot him.

I wonder, does this mean we as citizens no longer have the right to protect our property?

Just great, ⁦@tedwheeler⁩ & ⁦@PortlandPolice⁩. Letting the Proud Boys run wild with zero consequences is exactly what they want. This is why #Portland has such a shit reputation right now, thanks so much for ruining what’s left of our city 🖕🏻

This is not how you build support for a movement. This is how you go to prison.

Far right extremists in Portland, Oregon opening fire on anti-fascist counter-demonstrators. Looking forward to how the contrarian reactionaries spin this one.

I think a lot of Portland cops are closet proud boys.
