Pro-Trump, Black Lives Matter demonstrators clash in Salem on Labor Day


Right-wing activists and supporters of President Donald Trump gathered in the Willamette Valley on Monday, caravanning down highways around the Portland area in support of the president and police, and in opposition to protests in Portland this summer.

Part of the group broke off and gathered at a smaller event at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem in the afternoon, which quickly spun off into violence and led to multiple arrests.

The “Cruise Rally” in support of President Trump began in the parking lot of Clackamas Community College in Oregon City on Monday morning, where several hundred people dressed in red, white and blue, wore “make America great again” caps and carried signs bearing Trump’s likeness. The event was organized by Oregon For Trump 2020, a Facebook page for supporters of President Trump’s candidacy.

Speakers at the morning rally often spoke in religious terms, invoking Christianity in their efforts to stand against protesters who have been speaking out against police violence and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement since the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department in May..........................

Make no mistake--This is #Trumps America



Right-wing extremists in Salem, Oregon, applaud as a speaker says Democratic leaders should be “shot dead in the streets.”

The speaker falsely calls LGBTQ civil rights a “pedophilia agenda.”

Semiautomatic weapon? Check. Size and numbers? Check. Peaceful protesters to prey on? Check.

But take away those factors and these little monkeys paralyze up like the frightened little boys they are.

They like hitting women and children. They like ganging up. They love to fly their Nazi like it's Real America.

But it's totally beta-primate. They cannot think, reason, build or thoughtfully strategize. They are the ass-end of the gene pool, on their way out, and they know it.

There will come a time when they will desperately try to hide their connection with this. And they'll all cry when they're caught.

It's not OK for me to threaten to kill you, or vice/versa. Not in an alleged "civilized society." Period.

that kind of power?
Who determines what is hate speech?

Nope, the answer is more speech against hate speech, not eroding the 1st Amendment, which is what will happen if there are hate speech laws.

violent crime than we do. Your point of it being twisted depending on who is in office is a good one, as we have seen the DOJ and court system under assault by the orange boy. I would be interested in a national discussion on the topic though, as the level of violent rhetoric is at a level I've never seen before and parallels 1930's Germany.

on the Trump followers side. I wouldn't expect it from anyone with BLM, but you never know. If someone points a gun at me, I don't think I'm obligated to recognize it as a paintball gun. For that alone, anyone pointing those at people, and especially shooting, should be charge with assault. If someone defends themselves with a real gun, someone could get killed.

to help organize people for voting in elections. They hated them with a purple passion, and made up lies and gossip to pass around about demonstrators and human rights workers, as they would get themselves all worked up, even taking their grotesque yarns and making sure to tell it all to old timers, too, to get them shaking in their boots.

I can't remember the name they used to designate people from out of state, but they hated them so much they sometimes beat them within an inch of their lives, and they managed to murder some of them, as well.

I think it was a name like "instigators" or something.

But, hey, it's their duty to get up to Oregon or whatever the next place will be and really butt in to harm people protesting brutality.
