Video out of Portland shows Antifa thugs militants attacking a group of Christians who were participating in a prayer event at Tom McCall Waterfront Park.
The prayer event featured Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski.
As the Portland Tribune reports:
Dozens of black-clad counter-protesters pushed into the right-wing band, hurling smoke grenades and appearing to dismantle part of the public address system, spurring Portland Police Bureau squad cars onto the grass under the mid-day sun. The right-wing group marched to their announced gathering point in response.
One attendee of the prayer event said, "Antifa had threatened to beat people up and do what they do — and then they showed up and did it. The police were not even far from there and they were laughing in their vehicles and doing their thing. It's probably hard to care as an officer in a place where they take away all your funding."
"Dozens of people carrying black umbrellas and shields are seen spraying red and yellow gas at the group of worshippers, as other Antifa members steal sound equipment, lawn chairs and wagons left across the lawn by families who had come to listen to the pastor speak.
"All Cops are B*******, in the name of Jesus," a male’s voice is heard saying during the melee.
Children, including toddlers, were in attendance at the worship event when the group of Antifa demonstrators began throwing projectiles, including eggs, one woman told a videographer at the scene.
"They threw a flash bomb into a group of kids who were out there," she said.
A male worshipper said a pastor had walked up to ask the group of demonstrators to stop -- but he was pepper sprayed. The woman is seen attending the pastor’s eyes covered by an orange substance."
