Days before the Youth Liberation Front Seattle Division called for far-left activists to mobilize in Oregon and in their chatroom on Telegram they were planning for violence….
#Antifa in their Telegram chatroom are preparing for violence at the Oregon state Capitol in Salem today. They’re telling each other where to gather to avoid being caught by police. They’re giving out the contact info for the NLG & other far-left groups for legal aid/bail. pic.twitter.com/QGHJd93ykT

A writer for the New York Times tried to claim that the protest was a “right wing event.”
According to Salem PD (& this is backed by video), the antifa came in riot gear carrying guns, bats, shields & gas masks. They coordinated violence beforehand on Telegram as well. That is not a “counter protest.” Assaulting people & drivers is not protesting. https://t.co/8Ie9qdtFeB
