Yeah, Proud Boys. I don’t know what the Venn overlap is with the street racing scene since I’m not local to the area. At least the person that was live-streaming the shenanigans where I was that night is said to be affiliated (or at least a hanger on of some kind). I suspect it’s more a “young people are bored and have nothing better to do and turned to cheap entertainment” thing than anything.
Between COVID, a massive homeless crisis, and street violence, Portland is pretty fucked up right now. It’s a real shame because under normal circumstances it’s a great city.
