Twice in three weeks, Antifa in Portland has followed people they disagree with, cut them off from their cars, and vandalized the buildings around them. On September 20, outside The Sports Bra, we were the ones they followed. Local television documented counterprotesters trailing the group for blocks through the neighborhood. What they did not stay for is what we watched: rocks thrown at our heads, full beer cans thrown at our heads, and a metal bat produced to threaten anyone they had decided was the enemy. They would not let us get to our cars. The chase ended at a Fred Meyer, where windows were smashed. A rock to the skull is how people die. A full can to the temple is how people die. A bat is not an argument. On October 4th they did it again. A private brunch at Clarklewis in Portland drew the same crowd. KOIN 6 confirmed protesters showed up near the end of the meal, broke windows and glass, and accused the restaurant of “supporting nazis.” The restaurant shut down. At least one employee quit. Different room. Same tactic. This is the 2020 playbook with a obvious target list. Portland spent more than 100 nights under the same black bloc tactics after George Floyd: projectiles, broken glass, and a city that treated it as weather. The people who ran those nights did not leave. Antifa has training meet ups all around the country actively happening. The question is whether this is the start of it getting worse, and how long we let Antifa run wild like this before we fight back.
