Far-left extremists, including members of Rose City Antifa, were captured on video deploying mace, throwing punches, and violently beating Christians. Some of the attackers wore militant black bloc uniforms, while others hid their identity behind Islamic keffiyeh scarves. The event attacked was the United Revival Jesus March, the same event that Antifa extremists attacked last year.
Despite Rose City Antifa's attempt to spoil the event, Christian attendees were able to worship Jesus for nearly four hours at Pioneer Square in downtown Portland, according to the Idaho Tribune.
Far-left extremists posted a call to action on X a few days prior to the event and encouraged people to disrupt it. The group created a flier urging people to bring noisemakers, music, and pride flags. The flier read, "No Fash in Our City. Show up and remind United Revival that n*zi fascist scum aren't welcome in our city."
Video footage captured by photojournalist Chelly Boufferache of The Publica and independent videographer Kevin Dahlgren shows far-left extremists physically assaulting event security guards and attendees. Punches were thrown and mace was deployed by the militants, including on children.
Antifa also disconnected power to the event stage, according to a journalist with the Idaho Tribune. The outlet said that Portland Police announced to organizers before the event that officers would not be deployed to the area, which reportedly enabled Antifa to launch attacks.
Portland Police have not yet released a statement on the matter. It's unclear if any officers responded to the event.
