However, despite changing the event location, a large group of Antifa militants dressed in black bloc arrived at the small patriotic-themed rally across town and disrupted the event. Antifa launched an attack and threw explosives into the crowd and were seen carrying AR-15's and SKS rifles.

Following the riots in the Argay Terrace, Parkrose, and Downtown neighbourhoods, Portland police have released several images alongside a statement. Specifically, the police have released photos of six suspects wanted for disorderly conduct. "In addition to the unidentified individuals, detectives have already identified over a half-dozen individuals involved in violent behaviour and possible assault crimes and those investigations are ongoing," the statement reads. It should be noted that suspects appear to be from both the right and left wing groups involved.

"There were property crimes committed, including significant damage to at least three vehicles," the statement continues. "Not having a participating victim significantly limits the charges that can potentially be brought against criminal suspects. Detectives are still pursuing the cases and charges where probable cause exists, but they are asking for victims to come forward."

The statement concludes by asking the public for videos to identify more suspects and potential victims. "Additionally, existing evidence suggests there were numerous community members and independent press documenting the incident with still and/or video cameras. Detectives are requesting that those who have those videos provide them complete and unedited so that can help develop a full picture of crimes that took place." The Portland police then provide an email for further information.

If you were a victim of a violent crime, please make a police report by calling the police non-emergency line at (503) 823-3333. Please reference case number 21-681328.

Portland Police are trying to identify the rioters photographed assaulting & destroying property at the antifa vs right-wing riot on 22 Aug. This antifa was spraying a red chemical or paint on people: https://t.co/rpmqhujaVZ

Antifa accounts are trying to do major damage control after videos emerged showing them confronting & assaulting random bystanders in Portland. They demonstrate that they act “like cops” & enforcers of indiscriminate violence when given the opportunity to have power. pic.twitter.com/hzcZXrwKeL

"You don't even gotta fight them fair I promise"

After antifa's humiliating failed offensive on a right-wing rally in Portland last week, some are calling for the group to shift from organized large-scale attacks to jumping victims when they least expect it at restaurants & gyms pic.twitter.com/XoS6b2jvuD

Imagine behaving so horribly that you make it easy for Andy Ngo to come out looking truthful. That’s what the remaining members of antifa have done. And enough with this, “antifa if just an ideology” bullshit. https://t.co/yvk0KqdTmh

— Soundtrack to the End (@_WhatRiot) August 26, 2021

Nearly all of the activity by antifa on Twitter now days is threatening and abusive tweets about who’s allowed to be on the public streets of Portland, or as antifa calls it, “our space.” That’s not an ideology, that’s a violent gang.

— Soundtrack to the End (@_WhatRiot) August 26, 2021

The rest of their tweets are threatening and abusive posts towards press who don’t regurgitate antifa’s narrative. Again, calls of violence in the form of getting them out of “our spaces,” which are referring to the public streets of Portland

— Soundtrack to the End (@_WhatRiot) August 26, 2021

“Our spaces…” Imagine spending so much effort rallying against make believe colonizers, only to blatantly and unapologetically colonize the streets and sidewalks of Portland. “Whose streets? Our streets!”

LITERAL FUCKING COLONIZER SHIT.

The “Summer of Love” patriotic-themed rally devolved into mass political violence once antifa drove 10 miles out from their downtown autonomous zone to launch a failed offensive on the rally (which was relocated to other side of town in unused Kmart parking to avoid clashes). https://t.co/mseN2Jrbbh

— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) August 24, 2021

Though not outnumbered, #antifa ran and retreated at the riot in northeast Portland. The clashes started after antifa crashed a van at the right-wing rally and jumped out throwing homemade explosives. It led to intense clashes spilling onto street. pic.twitter.com/57QfCfJfVo

Antifa are retreating & throwing explosives in the process after launching an attack on the right-wing rally in northeast Portland. They’re being chased & hit. Video by @TaylerUSA: pic.twitter.com/eLDNMirI3r

The vehicle that drove some of the antifa militants to launch an attack on the right-wing rally in the Portland Kmart parking lot was overturned & sprayed with, “FAFO” (f— around & found out). https://t.co/Fy25MjHUg8

— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) August 24, 2021

This is false. The van was filled w/several antifa who drove into the rally (10 miles from their downtown gathering). They pepper sprayed the men who confronted them & ditched vehicle. They launched multiple explosives along street. Right-wingers returned to destroy & flip van. https://t.co/KmNL1Xh3L5

Undercover @DrewHLive video shows antifa unloading more riot gear at their occupation on 22 Aug. Notice how they use umbrellas to cover the license plate of their supply vehicle. Antifa harassed & assaulted people in downtown before engaging in a shootout. pic.twitter.com/v2efYj8McR

— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) August 23, 2021

I learned through my investigation for the book that antifa communicate & organize through encrypted chat channels on their devices. For direct actions, they have roving paramilitary teams who use radio. They send the teams out to do patrols & reconnaissance from a distance. https://t.co/7kk0SKhcyd

"Strategy & optics matter"

An antifa account that was at the Portland gathering in downtown issues an after-action report on why they lost the brawl when dozens of them went to the right-wing rally 10 miles away. This thread shows organization & planning. https://t.co/YrSEmf8wrG pic.twitter.com/S3v7fVVzsF

Shocking video from yesterday’s Portland riot shows antifa robbing female photographer @MaranieRae & hitting her to the ground. She goes to retrieve her equipment & is hit w/pepper spray. Video by @JLeeQuinn: pic.twitter.com/rCkaybcfUR

Antifascists threatened to "smash cameras" of journalists, and targeted @MaranieRae personally.

She approached to speak to their group, and they shot paint and mace at her and threw her on the ground.

As she recovered, one shot more paint at both her and press helping her. pic.twitter.com/XKgDxvFc5D

Antifa assaulted several journalists yesterday including a female reporter, chased away a local reporter and cameraman, they kept saying they wanted to keep good 'optics' and stop anyone filming them doing any type of criminal activity #Portland pic.twitter.com/tm1TnHRhDo

"That's going to give us bad optics"

Note: John C. Hacker witnessing the assault. He's always near violence as he provides intel to his comrades. https://t.co/3o9I7dPsXo

Sources tell me the final nail for an effective permanent police stand down was when Oregon Dems passed a law banning most use of crowd control tools. Officers who violate Bill 2928 can be criminally prosecuted. It was passed in support of the BLM-Antifa riots last year. pic.twitter.com/8CyXtqodlN

.@CashApp has become the app of choice for antifa to launder money & to raise funds on behalf of violent extremists. One of the armed militants in the van that drove to the Portland rally at the Kmart parking lot is asking for donations through riot arrestee Emily Gansberg. pic.twitter.com/g6l4OHSIz8

Even antifa are admitting that the use of explosives next to the gasoline station on Sunday in Portland was a bad idea. Meanwhile, antifa member Luis Enrique Marquez was filmed assaulting & robbing people in downtown in the area around the short-lived autonomous zone. pic.twitter.com/Txd3DOgGC5

The gunfire happened more than 10 miles away from the Proud Boys-attended rally, @VICE. Someone on the antifa side fired at least six rounds at a 65-year-old man who police say had nothing to do with the protests. pic.twitter.com/b1PgPT0zx7

This was at the violent antifa paramilitary rally that later lead to a shoot out. https://t.co/XK9l3v2N9p

“A man standing behind a downtown garbage can fired one round at anti-fascists who were pursuing him. At least one person fired back at him—six shots—videos show.”

A left-wing activist alleges without evidence the man talked about blacks being lynched. https://t.co/6vET50tmZf

Does overrunning police stations, setting up 'autonomous zones,' laying siege to the White House, and burning city centers to the ground count as "attacks on the homeland"? Because that would make for an interesting calculus if we want to go down the blame shifting road. https://t.co/iHzjWIw98K
