Hop on a bus and go across the river; go downtown. Neighborhoods which are on the western "downtown" side of the river, but north of Burnside, are fine. Drive up MLK and you'll see nothing out of the ordinary.

If you are looking at our city only through the lens of some biased cameraperson, then you are getting a limited view. Go outside.

Indeed, go to a park! Only the two parks across from the downtown courthouse are closed.

Edit: Downvoters, go outside and look at Portland. Or, if you don't live in Portland, consider carefully why you think that firsthand observations are worth discounting.

Seriously. If your only source of what's happening is a few selected videos, I'm not surprised people think it's bad here.

Have there been a few incidents, over 50 days of protest? Yes.

Are they common? No.

Do you feel unsafe walking downtown? Only if the police are moving around.

He was beaten, punched and kicked by a mob of Antifa. It's all documented on video.

He's well known for doxxing, providing kill lists to AtomWaffen. I don't think that behavior is exactly rewarded in the public square.

.. that's a really serious claim. Do you have any sources?

Sure, during his time at Quillette, he regularly posted the full names of left-wing protestors after being told not to by the individuals. He was caught on video hanging out with a right wing group associated with AtomWaffen planning to commit violence at a local bar. He wasn't reporting at the time, and only started when an anti-facist group showed up.
