Zane Sparling Saturday, September 26, 2020
It was billed as a massive rally by the violent, far-right group called the Proud Boys whom the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated a hate group but by the time it ended, only a couple hundred people had gathered in North Portland's Delta Park on Saturday,
Many were dressed in camouflage and militarized body armor and listened to classic rock. When they came by car, they passed Portland Bureau of Transportation traffic signs lit up with messages like, "Black Lives Matter" and "Hate has no place here."
The rally was one of three separate protests of groups with vastly different ideologies that unfolded in relatively close proximity to one another on Sept. 26. The Proud Boys gathered at Delta Park in North Portland, but were denied a permit over COVID concerns. Anti-fascist groups held a rally about three miles away at Peninsula Park. At least one thousand people gathered there and listened to speakers urging all to work toward racial justice and equality for all.

(26,044 posts)The usual modus operandi of groups like the PB is to end their rally, but then spend the next few hours driving around the city, trying to provoke fights with people they perceive as their "enemies."
