"Alt-Right" Groups Attack Antifascist Protesters in Portland, Oregon
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Portland, Oregon, "alt-right" hate groups took to the streets again
over the weekend, attacking anti-fascist protesters and others. As
clashes erupted, some pointed out that Portland officials did not
designate the events a riot and that police largely did not intervene,
in contrast to the brutal police response toward antirascist protesters
in recent weeks.
