Paul Welch told The Oregonian/Oregon Live he took the flag with him when he went to Portland Aug. 4 to oppose a right-wing rally being held at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park.

Can someone shoot a group of these idiots?
These dumb fucking proud boys, and antifa running around like some high school kids playing games.
Not everyone plays games. A group of people, any group, tries to jump me, I'll put you the fuck down.
People should keep in mind that you have the legal right to defend yourself with deadly force if you fear for your life.
Stupid people want to keep playing stupid games, and eventually they will win a stupid prize.
