Portland is preparing for a large far-right rally on Saturday that may be the largest in a series of demonstrations that have descended on the city in the Trump era. Police in the Oregon city are fearful of an outbreak of violence at the End Domestic Terrorism rally, which is targeted at Portlands antifascist groups, who in recent years have clashed with rightwing activists in running street battles. The protest has been promoted primarily by Floridian Joe Biggs, a member of the rightwing Proud Boys organization. Biggs is a combat veteran and a former employee of the conspiracy broadcaster Alex Joness Infowars network. He claims that up to 1,000 people from around the country will attend Saturdays unpermitted event on the citys waterfront. In promoting the rally on social media, Biggs has brandished a Trump-themed baseball bat, appeared in videos wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan Training to Throw Communists Out of Helicopters a reference to the Chilean Pinochet regimes methods for executing dissidents and has taunted antifascists, saying Youre not gonna feel safe when you go out in public and Im gonna stomp your ass into the ground, Antifa. In more recent days, Biggs has urged supporters to tone down their rhetoric after notifying them on Facebook that he had received a visit from the FBI. Other rightwing groups have also said they are attending, or have been mentioned by Biggs and others, including patriot movement groups like the Three Percenters and the Oathkeepers, who often openly carry firearms at public events, and American Guard, who the Anti-Defamation League describe as hardcore white supremacists. Rightwing groups have framed the event as a response to an incident during the last rightwing rally in the city, on 29 June, in which the conservative writer Andy Ngo had milkshakes thrown at him and was punched by several masked protesters. Ngo was briefly hospitalized. The background to the latest potential confrontation is a long string of violent rallies since 2017 in which rightwing organizers, often living outside the city, have brought in activists and supporters to square off against leftwing counter-protesters. Several anti-fascist groups have made calls for people to attend a counter-protest to the rally, including the protest group PopMob, which is promising a poop emoji costume parade and a brass band. Elsewhere, Rose City Antifa , one of the longest-standing anti-fascist groups in the country, made a call on its website for the community to defend itself. The FBI and the Oregon State Police have said they will assist local city police with enforcement on Saturday, and Mayor Wheeler has suggested he may ask the state governor to call out the National Guard. --- It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog. ...

Imagine being this person. Like being so warped and stupid and never growing out of a frat boy mentality. Imagine pledging such loyalty to some corrupt businessman who is screwing the country for his and other's personal gain and wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

Imagine being a troll in real life. It seems like the guy is just spoiling for a fight. Sure he's got a 1st amendment right to hold a rally, but scheduling it in Portland on what will likely be a hot summer day? That's asking for trouble in my view. --- It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog. ... Copied to Clipboard!
