No shots were ever fired Strickland’s finger never came close to the trigger. This time he pulled his pistol to back them off. As he was leaving, the mob of masked antifa thugs ran toward Strickland and tried to surround him. Strickland was shooting the event as he usually did with all of his equipment – including his properly concealed pistol, a Glock, for which he had a concealed carry license.Ī mob of Antifa members surrounded him, roughed him up, and then told him, “You need to get the f**k out of here!” Even though Strickland backed away from the thugs in the larger protest, he continued to shoot video. One month later in July 2016, at a Black Lives Matter – Don’t Shoot Portland public rally and protest, a mob of antifa and BLM protesters admitted (in court) that they would get Strickland thrown out of their rally because they didn’t want the journalist recording them. They camped in front of the stores that sold fur and conspired against restaurants selling foie gras – screeching day after day until enough customers were repelled that the legal businesses went under.

Many of the usual Portland Professional Protester groups feature fists on their logos and flags like the good communists and socialists they are.

Since 2003, I have been watching the far-left Portland mob, “Portland Professional Protesters” as I dubbed them, go from a collection of Friday-at-4pm drum circles to a rougher group of Wobblies, anti-war Bush-is-Hitler protesters, Earth Firsters, ISO types, anti-Israel pro-PLO America haters, assorted anarchists, monkey-wrenchers and eco- and animal-terrorist organizations. He started to watch them after the 2010-11 tea party rallies began attracting leftists, such as the International Socialist Organization (ISO), who would show up and attempt to drown out the public (and permitted) rallies.Īnd the mob was getting bigger and more dangerous. Strickland had been following the far left for years. He’s the first person I’d ever heard utter the name “antifa.” Strickland put the videos on his YouTube channel called “ Laughing at Liberals.” The events in Portland occurred amidst protests nationwide- and a horrifying scene in Dallas, Tex., where a sniper killed five police officers and injured six others in a shooting rampage.Before most people had ever heard of the far-left group, the Portland videographer was recording the antics, ridiculous utterances, and violent actions of this mob, writing about them and selling his videos to news outlets, some of which went national. The march was held to protest the police killings of two black men this week, Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota.
Strickland's pulling of a weapon occurred early in a march organized by Don't Shoot PDX and allied with the national Black Lives Matter movement. He posted videos to the YouTube channel "Laughing at Liberals." The news website Raw Story reports that Strickland was a familiar presence at Portland protests-including a recent rally in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Bivins' video shows that after Strickland pulled the gun, he was surrounded by about two dozen protesters, some confronting him and others trying to calm him down, until Jessie Sponberg, a Portland activist and recent mayoral candidate, shepherded Strickland away from the crowd.
