Antifa, those self-proclaimed anti-fascists, bullies, thugs, and whiners, were at it again, causing mayhem throughout the city of Portland, OR, during the recent “climate strike” march on Sept. 20. These masked individuals, who can turn any public event or speech into an opportunity for violence and property damage, showed up en masse to protest whatever or whoever didn’t conform to their agenda. Unlike previous encounters, this time the black-clad protesters were confronted by law enforcement unrestricted and unafraid to stand up to them. This sent the Antifa members scrambling and crying out at the injustice of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) doing the job Portland police didn’t do.
The city’s motto “Keep Portland Weird” certainly embodies its name as Antifa continues to seize control of the area. Portland’s Democrat Mayor Ted Wheeler has had a big hand in enabling the activists to succeed as he mostly refuses to do anything to check the group. Up until now, Antifa members had full rein over the city and its citizens, until they decided to protest outside the ICE office and throw rocks at law-enforcement vehicles.
It’s almost comical seeing the thugs scurry away from ICE authorities, as the agents shot them with paintball guns, chased them down the streets, and made arrests. Numerous videos appeared on Twitter and YouTube of Antifa members claiming police brutality and injustice. Warning: As with most activities involving this group, the videos are full of foul language.
In this tweet, the tweeter claims he and his comrades were innocently chanting outside the ICE building:

However, as independent reporter Andy Ngo – remember the journalist who was attacked viciously by Antifa not too long ago? – demonstrates, the unruly marchers were not just chanting and holding signs peacefully; they were also throwing rocks at law-enforcement vehicles and officers.

Another tweet shows even more sensationalized material. “DHS and ICE have just brutally attacked us after standing and chanting infront of their building for nearly a minute. No warning, nothing, and now 2 of our comrades have been arrested, one youth comrade was put into a seizure from the attack.
WE NEED JAIL SUPPRT NOW.#Defendpdx”
Ngo also captured several Antifa members running away from ICE officials and some being arrested.

Bullies tend to keep up the abuse until someone more influential or more powerful stands up to them. This is a prime example of just how cowardly the mask-wearing, hate-stirring group is when confronted. Used to getting away with most anything in Portland because of the mayor’s favorable treatment, Antifa members were at a loss when ICE stepped in and treated them exactly as they should have been from the beginning of their lawless rampages.
Now, just as a toddler who doesn’t get his way, the Antifa gang is throwing a fit, claiming its members were attacked and treated unfairly. Perhaps if Portland’s finest were allowed to do their jobs (and take notes from ICE) and control these unpleasant situations fomented by Antifa, the “weird” city could go back to concentrating on art, music, and food without being threatened and harassed by masked cowards.
