reporter: protests erupt in portland. clashes between right wing agitators and left wing anti-fascists spilled out on to the streets. the conflict started when hundreds of right wing protesters assembled for a non-permitted rally on the city s waterfront. they re targeting us because it s a liberal city with progressive values and they know they ll get a rise out of us. then they vilify us on the internet and make us look like we re the terrorists. reporter: the event organized by joe brigs was billed as a show of force against the city s progressive antifa movement. look at it, we came in and did a march peacefully, went in, planted our flag and came back out and they re chasing us. reporter: squirmishes broke out when left wing groups responded. there s no speech that can t be said in this country, so that s what i m here for. reporter: you feel like their tramping on that free speech in. i feel like they re trying to silence me. we would love to hear your
