https://thepostmillennial.com/antifa-furious-after-portland-police-foil-attempts-at-halloween-violence?utm_campaign=64470On Saturday evening, Portland Police turned out in numbers to prevent Halloween "direct action" and mass violence planned by a youth Antifa group in the area.
Leading up to Oct. 30, the night before Halloween, the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front announced that it would be holding an event that night.
"Tricks and treats in Portland this weekend!" The organization wrote on Twitter, adding the time and date that the "Devil's Night Bash" would take place.
A flyer told those invited to "wear black, bring a friend and a trick up your sleeve" to Colonel Summers Park at 8 pm. On the night of the event though, it was reported by The Post Millennial's editor-at-large Andy Ngo that the Portland police had come out in full force to stop the planned violence.
"In an unusual turn of events, @PortlandPolice turned up in numbers to surveil the #antifa Halloween direct action & prevent planned mass violence. Antifa are furious they were pulled over & forced to show driver's ID. Multiple were issued citations for hiding license plates," wrote Ngo on Twitter.
Lose you anonymity, and suddenly there is no incentive to commit felonies. Odd that.
