A far-right event ended in clashes between members of the Proud Boys and anti-fascists, escalating in gunfire. No injuries were reported. From OPB:
Witnesses said the violence began when a white van attempted to pull into the parking lot where the “Summer of Love” event was taking place. Members of the Proud Boys later flipped the van over.
The witness said they have lived in Portland for 15 years, and had been practicing driving in a nearby lot with another person. They decried the lack of police intervention in the violence that unfolded. During the clashes, Proud Boys were also captured on video attacking people and vehicles they believed to be with the anti-fascists. After the groups disengaged from each other, Toese and other Proud Boys continued to drive around the Parkrose neighborhood shooting paintballs at people.as a reason larger contingents of officers cannot separate groups that have historically engaged in political violence.
Speaking at a “choose love” online event Friday, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler and other metro area leaders broadly condemned the political violence that has become routine in Portland.
