Several arrests made. Not sure which had the most locked up or were assaulting police....but am guessing it was LW anarchists.
14 arrested during competing protests in Portland in wake of train stabbing
Police arrested 14 people Sunday and confiscated several weapons during a day of opposing rallies in downtown Portland, Ore.
The crowds in downtown Portland swelled to several thousand as people gathered for a free speech, pro-President Trump rally and an opposing group demonstrating at the Portland Stands United Against Hate Rally near City Hall.
The rallies came a little more than a week after two men were fatally stabbed and another injured while trying to stop a man from verbally abusing two young women on a light-rail train, one of whom was wearing a hijab.
Police detained a large group of protesters and others who were marching after being removed from Chapman Square where a separate protest designated for an anti-fascist group was eventually closed.
Police detained several demonstrators, including journalists.
Police said they would arrest those who participated in criminal activity. Everyone else was eventually released after officers took photos of their identification.
The altercation with police came after several hours of relative peace from the initial rallies that started about noon PDT.
Police used "impact weapons and chemical munitions" after they said protesters threw objects at them.
Protesters threw bricks, mortars and balloons filled with "unknown, foul-smelling liquid," according to police. They said only the protesters at Chapman Square had engaged in criminal behavior. The crowds at Terry Schrunk Plaza, where the pro-Trump rally organized by conservative group Patriot Prayer occurred, and City Hall where the counter-protest organized by immigrant rights, religious and labor groups, were not involved, police said.
Joey Gibson, organizer of the Patriot Prayer event held a moment of silence for the two men who were stabbed to death and pleaded with the crowd to refrain from violence. He later told them that the goal was to wake up the liberty movement.
"It's OK to be a conservative in Portland," he said.
Demonstrators chanted "USA" and held banners in support of President Donald Trump.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler unsuccessfully tried to have the permit for the free speech rally revoked, saying it would further enflame tensions after the May 26 stabbings......
