August 2nd: Blue Lives Matter Rally: Enter The Far Right

I originally came to the Justice Center at this horrible early hour to film a short thing with @defendpdx but apparently there's a Blue Lives Matter protest here instead so that's cool

Maybe 20 of them. They really can't get numbers, and it's nice pic.twitter.com/U5JVDu3K0T

Hahaha she just said the cops would be justified if they "did a pepper spray or whatever it is they do"

Sorry, this isn't hard-hitting journalism, this is shitposting and it's gonna continue that way

Got some police standing by now. 2/3 mask compliance is pretty good! pic.twitter.com/bC0fs8E2T7

The counter protest and protest are now facing off across 3rd Street. And honestly, I've spent enough time amongst the chuds that I have no interest in continuing to listen to them talk about how they're driven to protect murderers by their Christianity

I ask him what he thinks the goal of this protest should be. "Reparations," he says. "We're owed a lot of money. At least forty acres"

"Which would have appreciated considerably," I add

"Yeah," he says. " We're gonna need some interest"

And now he's walking back. Here's a picture. Definitely belligerent, I'm sure he'll continue to do whatever it is he's gonna do

This is reminding me of the old days. Small protest, chuds vs counterprotesters

Seems kinda trite now pic.twitter.com/dwPFysCSFr
