Part 2/13:
Portland's nights are now filled with scenes of police employing military-grade tactics—sweeping city blocks, targeting key agitators with laser sights, and swiftly arresting individuals identified as leaders of violent protests. Previously, Antifa's bravado, donning black masks and homemade shields, seemed invincible as they controlled the streets with impunity. Now, however, their once-emboldened presence has dwindled to desperate shouts and frantic escapes, with many members afraid to operate after dark.
This shift marks a significant turning point: Portland, the stage for months of unrest, is witnessing the decline of the radical groups that once claimed the streets, signaling that the tide has turned against what many refer to as America's most notorious far-left faction.
