It was the anniversary of the death of a Trump supporter who was shot last year by a violent Leftist protestor in the City of Portland. Both Left and Right groups staged protests and at times fought with each other, pedestrians and journalists.
Here is a re-cap of highlighted events:
— Independent journalist Maranie Staab was maced, robbed and attacked by anarchist protestors.

This is very disturbing video. I’ve known Luis Marquez to be a violent and dangerous man (he’s named in my lawsuit against Rose City Antifa & other antifa members). https://t.co/TllZ7KD7ye https://t.co/e2ZeHSQDjD
