Not true. One side has been peaceful throughout all of this until they are attacked, forced to defend themselves, care to guess which side? Not the side that has consistently rioted and destroyed buildings, cars and businesses.
Whatever. Doesn't one side always attack the other before a fight breaks out?
As to which side is the aggressor, I'm not interested in arguing with you about this because it makes no difference. Here's what I know about Saturday's Portland rally, Joey Gibson, leader/founder of the Patriot Prayers set it up and advertised it well.

Both current Oregon U.S. Senator's are Democrats. They are Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden. Democrats vastly outnumber republicans in the Portland metro area, which is where the bulk of Oregon's population lives.
