The aggressive antifa shirtless man who was threatening people was arrested by police. This angered the mob who said this was police bias. #PortlandProtests pic.twitter.com/OYDsyLw3EY

Local propaganda outlet The Oregonian described the event as "tense but relatively uneventful."

A confluence of protesters on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum merged on Portland’s waterfront Saturday in a tense but relatively uneventful face-off that brought #PortlandProtest national attention. https://t.co/c1cS84HOWl pic.twitter.com/OXitINUKJL

President Trump said before the event that he would monitor the situation:

Major consideration is being given to naming ANTIFA an “ORGANIZATION OF TERROR.” Portland is being watched very closely. Hopefully the Mayor will be able to properly do his job!
