The following video comes from investigative journalist Andy Ngo who is covering the scene out in Portland.
Here is what he had to say about the footage:
On the 87th day of violent protests in Portland, antifa met a large group of right-wingers in downtown during a pro-police rally. The demonstrations devolved into a riot where there were large brawls and fights, mostly between the Proud Boys and antifa. Later on, antifa mobs sought out smaller right-wingers that were separated to try and beat them up.
We’re told by our talking heads in the media that protests happening in and around major cities are “mostly peaceful.” What do they mean by that exactly?
To quote Joe Rogan, I guess they mean “mostly peaceful” much in the same way OJ Simpson was “mostly peaceful” on June 12, 1994.
The looting, the rioting, and the shooting continues with little to no intervention from law enforcement because police have largely gone into self-preservation mode.
Check out this statement from the Portland Police:
Portland police are essentially saying that, because people have been protesting the police for months, officers will no longer intervene in assaults on the public in broad daylight? pic.twitter.com/huxzPcXbRL

Whether you believe law enforcement is shirking their duty to protect and serve the public or whether you believe the boys in blue are justified for pulling back because of the “defund the police” activism and the violence directed their way doesn’t change the bottom line. City residents are more on their own today than at any time in recent memory.
We keep saying it here on GunsAmerica, mostly preaching to our faithful choir, but if you haven’t already, you have to learn to protect and defend yourself and your family. YOU are ultimately responsible for your safety — not government.
Prepare and train like your life depends on it. Because there is no guarantee that the lawlessness we’re witnessing in the streets of Portland and elsewhere won’t come to a town near you!
All you Trumpie’s Jump in your Pickups and drive around like a bunch of ISIS Terrorist
You are nothing but a bunch of white racist. That’s why whatever Barack Obama did would never have been good enough because he was black. He fixed Bush’s and Cheney’s debacle. And passed a lot of legislation so the same thing couldn’t happen again. But Donald Trump undid it all. He’s nothing more than a Narcissist dictator.
I see a bunch of pickup with the fenders flapping in the wind with Trump stickers on them, that seems to be the core Trump supporter.
Let’s give the 1%ers another 4 years then see there real colors.
I have spent a lot of years wondering how Adolf Hitler ever sold Germany on fascism and the Nazi Party well look around you see it right before your eyes Donald Trump
Who is paying the expenses of shipping these terrorists around the country? Al Sharpton took care of recruiting for the ‘ spontaneous’ rioting in Ferguson. Is he still point man for this? I wondered how an unemployed family man from well out of state was shot in Kenosha doing his civic duty of smashing heads and burning peoples businesses because cops shot a wanted rapist for resisting arrest. Does he get workman’s comp for wounds? Will people fighting back make it harder to recruit ‘activists’? I remember when they shot looters and arsonists of whatever color. It seems to take the wind out of their sails. If they want race war they should keep doing what they are doing. Is this why Dems don’t want the enemy to have guns?
You seen nothing yet,soon we clean up you commies.and a child leads us.
Thank you kyle for showing us the way.
I believe it is time to call in whatever force is necessary to stop this lawlessness. If some or a lot of the rioters are killed, so be it. As anarchist, they are a fifth column, completely lawless criminals, and enemies of the United States and civil order. I guarantee that if one mob is dealt with in this manner and a resolve is felt coming from the forces determined to put down the rebellion, the riots in many cities will stop immediately. The question is, does anyone have the moral courage to do this? Hopefully President Trump does because the Demoncrat mayors and governors certainly don’t.
I say kill all Nazis even those wearing a red MAGA hat. We all know where this is headed.
Simple solution to Agitators, rioters, antifa and blm activists. Round them up, place them on a nice cruise ship with enough weapons for all and enough food for half. No crew and put them in the middle of the ocean. After 2 weeks check to see who has survived. Drop rations for half that number then sink the ship after 2 more weeks!
Trump is not the problem nor the cure for what’s happening, only God fearing armed citizens will stop the anarchy, and must do so quickly. Stand up, take aim and squeeze!
How many gallons of OC were released? The EPA needs to get involved.
Bob sounds like a highly educated, good-natured gentleman, God bless!
Ignorant bobbie, you obviously wouldn’t know a real Nazi if he stabbed you in the
azz with his dress dagger and I’m guessing you use Victor Charles’s Battle Flag for a pacifier blanket, time to come up out of mommy and daddy’s basement and start experiencing life so you know what your whining and crying about! [SERIOUSLY]
Says one of the sheeple from the back seat of the peanut gallery!!!%
Dang, Bob!
Please don’t hit your keyboard quite so hard…if you break it, we won’t be able to enjoy your brilliantly presented Marxist talking points and fact-filled Trump-is-Evil narrative. I suspect your Covid mask is getting thoroughly soaked by your Trump Derangement Syndrome contaminants, putting you at risk of waterboarding yourself. I guess the good thing is that your echo-chamber is so thoroughly fortified that no one with a clue will ever hear you scream.
Don’t be BOB! Your dad told you not feed stray dogs because they will keep coming back. Your data and social skills are precious so please don’t feed Bob, he is still waiting for his participation ribbon.
MP, we do not need to ‘kill’ the BLM or Antifa Nazis, just hold them accountable for their crimes. Possibly educate them in civics and history, but it may be wishful thinking that they would listen or understand.
It’s like when sheep get it in their heads that they want to fly. There’s no getting it out and they will just drop from tree tops to the ground. (Monty Python)
I live in Portland. Anyone calling these protests peaceful has their head so far up their ass they can check their stomach by visual inspection. And the violence is spilling out of downtown. 9 shootings in 6 days. Nightly break-ins and assaults. There is going to be a massive community backlash. If they defund the police, the communities will start policing themselves, and the hoodlum will not like the result.
Spot on Steve!!!
IF TRUMP and HIS FOLLOWERS were NAZI’s. YOU WOULD ALL BE DEAD! ALL OF YOU.
there are real stupid idiots on both sides
The person who showed up with a nerf gun and umbrella is a total idiot.
One day soon we will kill a shitload of antifa soy boys and they will go back home to their mommy’s basement never to be heard from again. A little death compliance will settle everything. Kenosha is just one small example of what’s to come for these Marxist filth. Take away their breathing rights is the only solution.
Check your facts Bob. Clinton was all for NAFTA. It passed during his first term as President. He was very proud of it. When the AFL-CIO complained about it he pretty much told them to shut up and such his “cigar.” So to punish him the unions supported him during his second election. Bush and Clinton both supported NAFTA. Only Ross Perot was against it. Hillary said durin her run to be Queen that it was a good deal that just needed a little tweaking.
You liberals always seem to have short memories.
Rusty
The fucking unions provided the country with a living wage, pensions , vacations, and healthcare. just exactly what Trump and the 1%ers want to take away ever heard of divide and conquer. Just like Vietnam were fighting the wrong side here. Those laws you are refering to that protect people working rights are under attack as we speak by trumps labor dept people trying to strip all the workers rights you ought to read a little more Moron. SAme as the FDA EPA remember when the rivers were on fire and you couldn’t put them out.
Let’s make America great again with pollution and Barons. Hitlers great slogan Make Germany Great Again. How did that work out. M Make A Asshole G Go A Away
Yeah, all antifa wants is collective bargaining and greater OSHA protections.
So Bob, since you’re an expert, please list for us the manner in which Trump is or has acted as a ‘Nazi’.
Obviously, your grasp of both definition and history is very poor, or you would realize making that comparison makes you look like an uneducated fool, not to mention demeaning the very real tragedy of those who suffered under true Nazism.
Those who lightly use that word to make completely false comparisons are the real jerks and morons of the world.
That word has deep meaning, and your use of it is a major insult to the victims of the Holocaust.
Bob, before you start your anti-American rant, why don’t you take a remedial English language class and learn punctuation and proper grammar? Your writing really makes you look like the ignorant boob that would write/think such things.
Bob probably can’t help it. He doesn’t know how to research, verify truth, or think for himself.
sitting here looking at my fellow Americans on video, in 62years of life I seen alot, been to countries all over the world, so I can say this it’s an educational issue we’re having here, phones don’t make you smart, it’s your experiences in life that make you who you are, now look around and ask yourself is this what we are about as a people, cuz if it comes to what I seeing than forget making covid stuff cuz we ain’t gonna need it.
I took a ‘civics’ class, my guess is yours was done with a Left Wing radical teacher or Prof.
I’m proud of the proud boys and their supporters. They learned from this experience and will have even more courage next time. If this does not stir the ire of any patriot then you must be dead. Fight the fight that’s right!
That’s horse shit Bob. This started under Obama’s administration when they condoned riots in Ferganistan, Baltimore, etc.
Patriots have had it with a bunch of girly boys running around dressed in black like they are a bunch of bad asses. Things are only get worse for the pukes that belong to Antifa and BLM.
Interesting – you have leftwing, liberal trolls with Trump Derangement Syndrome posting here now. Well, I guess, unless the left actually does take over the country, everyone is entitled to their opinions on forums like this. Just don’t try to make any conservative statements on a college campus or in the mainstream news media. The commissars already enforce politically correct speech in those places.
Shooting looters, rioters, and arsonists are not only justified, it is what the state should be doing. Small businesses across the country have been deliberately burned, and are effectively out-of-business. Despite what the talking heads call these activities, the insurance companies will call them riots, and refuse to pay claims…
It was very droll, listening to Chris Wallace, in his expensive suit, with a multi-million annual salary, saying there was no justification for shooting rioters, looters, arsonists, when so many productive small-business owners have been deliberately bankrupted, regardless of what the Lefty shills like Wallace may claim.
Thank you Bob for allowing me to see the world thru the eyes of a true marxist liberal. Your leftist teachers and professors (if you got that far) did a commendable job in molding your mind in their image.
The only whacko in your post is the image you see when looking in your own mirror.
You certainly have enlightened me. I’m feeling so much better now about what an awful country I live in. A country that allows both you and I to make the comments we both have made.
Try doing this in Hong Kong, Bejing, Moscow, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. Oops, I forgot those places are the model societies you would like to see for MY COUNTRY.
Have a nice day.
Again, another idiot. Men with guns stopped a tyrannical government from making this country a dictatorship. We will do it again. I never get tired of telling liberal colostomy bags that if you don’t like it here please move away.
Your TDS has warped what little brain you have. I hope you stocked up on tissue; you’ll need it when Trump wins again.
Dumbass. The unions are what drove labor out of the country. We have labor laws that make the wage robbing unions a thing of the past. They’re no longer needed.
Read your history before posting about something you’re clueless about.
Trump is the Nazi
Don’t drink the Kool-Aid
this goes back a long way to when the Republicans did away with all the jobs that payed a sustaining wage back in the 80’s then they got rid of the unions, pension plans healthcare they have slowly did away with all the good jobs. sent millions of them to China Mexico during the Reagan and bush era. George Bush Sr started the NAFTA Agreement. Then today the inequality in our society due to the 1%ers like Trump Devos Koch and rest of them that want to own everything. Trump don’t give a shit about no one the Republicans are the Nazis dictators. Better wake up soon before its to late listen to the people that will tell you how dangerous Trump really is he’s a whacko
Globalists’ in each party eroded the economic, military. technological advantages that the US had established.
Bob Obama was the one who said he would need a magic wand to bring back manufacturing jobs. Obama has his lunch eaten by China every day. $1.5 billion given to Biden’s uneducated kid, along with $50K a month, and hundreds of thousands connected to shopping sprees and hookers? Oh and Biden says that he never knew about , or spoke to his son about receiving over a BILLION in cash from China. I guess the Biden’s were so accustomed to receiving large amounts of cash that it was like another day at the Obama /Biden office. And isn’t it interesting how the Obamas recently bought a $15 million dollar mansion in the most white neighborhood in the country? Aren’t these filthy rich democrats who Choose to live in all white communities afraid of all those cops they claim are killing black people ? What about all the white supremacy Al sharpton, the Obamas, Biden claim is rampant? Last time I checked there were plenty of places to purchase in all black neighborhoods like south side of Chicago, Chester pa, south central La. what’s wrong , why didn’t the obamas want to live amongst all those wonderful BLM supporters in those all black communities. Where are all the democrats demanding that ANTIFA, and BLM STOP the madness? Most good citizens have stood back for the first few months while these BLM frauds burned businesses, attacked and killed every day Americans who don’t care what color you are. But there comes a point when enough is enough and the people who love this country are stepping up to show these BLM/Antifa clowns that they will not be allowed to wreck our communities the same way they have wrecked the streets they came from. Instead of wrecking what supports many honest lives, why not do something intelligent like stop voting for the same Democratic Party that has let down most major inner cities for decades. Stop voting for democrats who have 6 people being paid to do a job that 1 person can do. Stop supporting people that call themselves snoop doggy dog, or killer mike. I don’t think people who make millions rapping about how many women they pimp, or how many shootings they carry out is what’s gonna put kids with no fathers on the right track in life. Take responsibility. We don’t have shootings where I live, or have young men by the age of 18 having 5 kids with 5 different girls. It’s not racism it’s realism bob. The truth is not on a side, the truth goes down the middle every time. All the democrats say is trump is bad , trump is a monster. When if you look at the facts trump has stopped those caravans from invading our country. He has shut down the drama with North Korea, killed 3 major terrorists. Shut ISIS down. Helped farmers big time. Some which I know. USMCA replaced NAFTA. Deregulated so many BS LIBERAL snags that prevented small businesses from getting loans . Sure bob you can always point out things a POTUS does wrong. But when democrats entire argument is that Trump is yucky , nah not gonna fly bob. For 3 years all the world heard was Russia , Russia owns trump Russia , Russia , Russia. And what was true? The complete 100% opposite. Turns out the dems were behind the Russia scandal. And for the first time a sitting president (Obama) spied on a pres. candidate. Then all we heard about was impeach trump. That turned out to be garbage. So now the new agenda is everyone and anything that disagrees with the Democratic Party is racist. Change the names of sports teams, remove statues, erase good people from history all because of something they might have said in 1930. Anyone who is semi intelligent can see all this and instantly know the truth.
Thank you for justifying the premeditated murders in Kenosha.
“Open-carry”, militias, self-appointed protectors of property rights from outside, all have no business going anywhere near a demonstration or even a minority neighborhood.
I do not care how you rationalize it, and pathetic Ngo is the last refuge of the self-justifying totalitarian. The intent is Right wing extremist intimidation. Maybe now that the memory of the Brown Shirts and Kristalnacht have faded from living memory and into history, these ignorant and arrogant “protectors” who wish to foment violence and intimidation think that they can get away with it, using the fallacies and fantasies in this article.
If you want to keep your guns, do not act like some ragtag, ill-led army of Quixotes with AR15s.
And take a Civics class.
The nation needs more pin headed fools taking civics classes to get the US out of this conundrum.
Antifa are the new Nazis, just wearing Marxist colors. Your grandfather would be ashamed of you.
I’m getting real tired of hearing about regular citizens being harassed by the judicial system for defending themselves and their property, while these instigators skate.
You really need to get away from anything covered by Andy Ngo, he’s a grifter, he makes up stories and edits footage to cut out the whole story. He’s no ones friend and a bad actor in this.
I believe in killing Nazis. Just like both my grandfathers did.
