PORTLAND, Ore. -- Two opposing protest groups -- Patriot Prayer and antifa -- clashed in downtown Portland Saturday, CBS Portland affiliate KOIN reports. Portland police said failure to leave the area could leave to arrests, calling the demonstration a riot.

More than 100 members of Patriot Prayer group gathered at Terry Schrunk Plaza for a "freedom rally," while more than 100 counter protesters with an antifa group gathered across the street at Chapman Square for rallies before a march. Police revoked Patriot Prayer's permit for the rally after the two groups began to clash.

People were lighting firecrackers and smoke bombs in the crowd while police used flash bangs in an effort to disperse the clashing protesters. Police tweeted Saturday night they used "aerial distractions" and not tear gas.

Patroit Prayer organizer Joey Gibson told KOIN the clashes "good in terms that we showed that there's a political move right now to have the police stand down in order to impact free speech in some of these big cities."

"Portland's the last city on the West Coast that's doing that, so we just have to keep hitting it -- I don't see what else to do other than that," Gibson said. "We'll make Portland so ugly in terms of how they allow these protesters to charge us when we have a permit. The police stood down, we were told they would not stand down, so we have to challenge it."

Portland is a weird place politically

you have this uber liberal metropolitan area, that is in the state that barred black folk from it since up until the 1920's

Then the run-off the hippie/radical movement of the 60's/70's which settled their afterwards

You then had an influx of far-right white supremacists who headed up their in the 80's (PNW in general), followed by the synthetic esoteric hippies of the white nationalist world of the 90's.

Now, along with the various transplants from California, many of them rich and white, looking to "reconnect" with nature, being blindsided by a surge of young Anarchists and Communists.

Really fascinating.

Antifa is not a singular protest group, as the article erroneously suggests.

It is a movement that has been opposing fascism for like 100 years.

So antifa is like the ̶w̶h̶i̶t̶e̶ whiter blm?

It is a movement that has been opposing fascism for like 100 years.

Do you support them? How do you feel about the clashes in the video?
