Hi there, I'm coming at you live from Clackamas Town Center, where I think it's safe to say I've found the Trump caravan event

I'm not good at number estimates but this is a VERY full parking lot and more people arriving every second#PortlandProtest #PDXprotests pic.twitter.com/cXh0lxbu3n
This red truck with the trump-as-rambo flag keeps doing this

The Trump convoy is definitely leaving to go…somewhere.
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
We're going somewhere also. I'll let y'all know
Hello, I am crossing the Road Island bridge and looking behind to see an absolute wall of Trump-flag-flying trucks jamming McLoughlin from before Ross Island to Morrison
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
Massive numbers, heading downtown
New thread
We're at the Morrison Bridge and it's safe to say we've found the convoy pic.twitter.com/q9y3ex040D

Reached 5th and Morrison: convoy continuing up Morrison as far as I can see pic.twitter.com/KwWx5eZpCG

Massive honking that may or may not be related to the black people wearing "Black Girl Magic" shirts walking by pic.twitter.com/WBodTwfgiJ

The police appear to be here because a car has run over a bicycle
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
Not sure what happened but I'm not seeing injuries
The chuds turn onto 14th St
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
Maybe some of them are getting on 405 but most of the ones I'm seeing are turning down Alder pic.twitter.com/sPAaoAkfEx
Definitely seeing several trucks heading down Burnside
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
It's safe to say a large contingent is staying
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
The street is quieter than I've heard it in months. A few people heckle the cops but mostly there is a hush
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
It has happened. The thing everyone knew was coming has happened tonight
And it's barely 9PM
I'm not seeing many shields tonight
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
Not seeing a much car support either
This does not, to me, look like a crowd prepared to face what seems destined to be one of Portland's most dangerous nights
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
Protest has stopped at the Burnside Chevron
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
I'm hearing that Joey is inside
Riot police incoming

Back at the District Courthouse, along with the most of the rest of the protest. A lot of people are sitting in Lownsdale. Milling around
— Laura Jedeed is Kind of Back I Guess (@LauraJedeed) August 30, 2020
The mood is somber, as you would expect
A link to the NYT article

I have seen a photo that confirms that the victim did indeed have a Patriot Prayer hat on
The big question now–the thing that determines our future–is who the shooter washttps://t.co/ZexaVLm3lE
The protest is continuing but I am going to leave

Solidarity to everyone still out here
Solidarity to this city
Solidarity always
