Armed man detained outside ElPaso migrant community center says he's coming to Portland for RW rally


An armed man detained and released Wednesday by police in El Paso -- after witnesses say he displayed a knife and threatened people outside a migrant community center -- said he plans to be in downtown Portland next weekend for a right-wing rally.

Thomas Bartram on Thursday told NBC News he would be leaving Texas to head north for an Aug. 17 demonstration organized by members of the Proud Boys and other right-wing groups. Members of antifa and other left-wing groups have said they plan to hold counter-demonstrations, and Portland city officials, including the mayor and police chief, have warned participants who plan to engage in violence not to attend.

And why they should not be seen as a substitute for real gun control measures.

This guy looks like a flaming bat-signal red flag to me. But to others, he is just a guy exercising his rights.
