As part of a "Day of Rage" demonstration on Sunday, Antifa rioters shot inside a Portland cafe owned by a military veteran. Heroes American Cafe was the target of rioters after the establishment was categorized as an "unfriendly business" by Antifa accounts on Twitter.
Activist Twitter user @DublinPDX named the cafe in response to a call for a blacklist this month.
KGW News' Maggie Vespa reported that two bullets and a baseball bat "came through windows at Heroes American Cafe (SW Park & Clay)." Adding that the owner says he received a phone call days ago warning that his business would be targeted.

Antifa has taken issue with the business for putting photos of first responders on its walls & added the cafe to its list of places to target.
