There were a few rallies starting with the anti-tRump rally in Nov 2016 and another in May of 2017 where they were protest across the country. In Portland all was well until these masked antifafa @$holes showed up and went on a reign of terror breaking store windows, torching and or other wise damaging cars and starting other items on fire in the street causing millions in damage. There was no counter protest involved in these two rallies. They were a solo act.

When they use violence and cause destuction and or personal injury, both side are @$$holes.
