A group of Antifa marchers clashed with a “Patriot Prayer” group demonstrating in downtown Portland Saturday and, according to local law enforcement, the scene got very ugly very quickly.
The Portland Police were forced to declare a riot “after tensions between the right-wing Patriot Prayer group and local ‘anti-fascist’ activists came to a head and broke out in violence,” the Oregonian reported. …
Before marchers had even stepped foot on the street, police had already seized “utility knives, clubs, and chemical sprays” from Antifa “counter-protesters” and detained several people clad in black associated with the group.
