We brought you the story of how Antifa was trying to recreate an “autonomous zone” over an eviction battle in Portland.
People in a red house on Mississippi Ave have been fighting being evicted for two years. But at this point their house was foreclosed on and sold long ago, they’re just refusing to leave. In the meantime, Antifa members have been camping out with them and in a nearby lot for months trying to forestall the eviction. There have been all kinds of police incidents related to this in the past months with fights, gunfire, burglary, thefts, vandalism, and threats.
