The City of Portland has denied a protest permit requested by the Proud Boys, saying their demonstration slated for Saturday would likely draw a crowd too large to comply with social distancing measures required under coronavirus restrictions.
While COVID-19 risk was cited as the reason for rejecting the permit, officials in the Oregon city — which has been plagued by left-wing protests that have often descended into violence for months — say the group isn’t welcome regardless of the virus.
What are the details?
ABC News reported that Portland City Commissioner Amanda Fritz, who oversees the city’s parks department which issues the permits, said in a statement explaining the Proud Boys’ denial, “We must all do our part to fight the spread of COVID-19 in our community and keep ourselves and each other safe. Events like this are not welcome and are not allowed.”
The Proud Boys state on their website that “all that is required to become a Proud Boy is that a man declare he is ‘a Western chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world,'” and lists a set of core values including “anti-racism,” “anti-racial guilt,” and “anti-political correctness.”
According to The Daily Mail, the group’s permit application described their rally as a march to “end domestic terrorism.”
The outlet noted that the Proud Boys “have rallied in Portland several times in recent years and draw large crowds who show up to oppose their presence in the liberal city.”
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler declared on Twitter, “On 9/26, alt-right groups and white nationalists are intent on coming into our community. These groups empower racism, intolerance and hate. Those are not Portland values, and they are not welcome. Hate has no home in Portland.”

But rally-goers and counter-protesters are still expected to show up.
Fox News reported that “Oregon Gov. Kate Brown declared a state of emergency in Portland on Friday as authorities anticipate violent clashes between opposing groups over the weekend during” the Proud Boys’ planned demonstration. The governor also named another group, Patriot Prayer, as a threat to the city.
The outlet noted:
In August, a Patriot Prayer supporter was shot and killed in downtown Portland during a confrontation. Michael Forest Reinoehl said he shot Aaron Danielson in self-defense. He was killed by law enforcement officers as they attempted to arrest him in Olympia, Wash.
Portland has grappled with more than 100 consecutive days of protests that have included fights, arson, vandalism, assault and murder.

No one cares about Portland anymore, it is the ass**le of America.
What a bunch of racist retards the city of Portland and Oregon state leaders are! They are truly the epitomy of racism and what is wrong with this country lately! Agh!
I say we let that city self destruct under their stupid liberal leaders. All logical thinking people should just move out of that city and let them see how their social programs don’t work when there’s nobody there that wants to anti-up the money to pay for losers to smoke pot and do nothing but collect handout money from government all day.
Problem is, if we let them win with liberal radical ideas and violence, then it will quickly spread. Need to squash them quicker. I say POTUS needs to evoke the inserection act and squash it. At the same time, arrest the Governor and Mayor for treasonous acts. I watch as these a$$holes in cities, go and sit at old peoples dinner tables at restaurants and refuse to leave. Pull that crap with me. One quick temple punch will get him out of our chair. I also carry. It might get ugly, fast.
I agree…let ’em wallow in their own filth. Of course we could all hope the “big one” hits and sends the left coast into the Pacific
Damn, there are so many things that now can be used in the dictionary beside the definition of “HYPOCRITE” that it take a couple of pages. I know, we can split them and use some at “ASININE”.
The left lives to spread fear, especially when things don’t fit their narrative, Portland has been a cesspool of rioters, looters, but just as soon as the Proud Boys state their intentions they pull the COVID card, what a joke, the left once again has shown their eagerness to be hypocrites, the mayor and governor are weak ass individuals with no moral compass, I hope there city burns to the ground!👊👊🇺🇸
Well here is a question for Oregon GOV.KATE BROWN and PORTLAND MAYOR TED WHEELER . The question is why is it the PROUD BOYS will spread COVID 19 but ANTIFA and BLM Protesters WILL NOT SPREAD COVID 19 ?. Now in my uneducated OPINION this is the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK or in plain English it is a DOUBLE STANDARD WHERE DEMOCRAT RULE IS OK WITH ANTIFA AND BLM RIOTING LOOTING BURNING ATTACKING POLICE ! BUT THEY ARE NOT OK WITH A GROUP WHO IS AGAINST ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTS COMMITTED BY ANTIFA AND BLM SO THIS GROUP IS NOT WANTED IN PORTLAND AND REFUSED A PERMIT TO PROTEST ! ONE OTHER QUESTION IT IS DOES ANTIFA AND BLM HAVE A PERMIT TO RIOT ,LOOT ,BURN,ATTACK POLICE ?
Great Ice, but let’s keep it real. All those criminals we see, BLM, ANTIFA, CAZE and just Punks, “ALL ALL BEING PAID BY GEORGE SOROS.
Can anyone tell as I was told Growing when growing up I was told a very interesting fact if You; Cut the head off the snake and when the Sun sets he’ll not bite ever again. Could that be true?
Wheeler is the biggest *POS* in Oregon. His hypocrisy knows no bounds. I’d say to the Proud Boys to tell Wheeler to pack sand and go for it. What’s he going to do send out BL Don’t M?
