Women physically (many middle aged and older) attacked by transactivists in Portland.

Those women are so brave. I hope the police take some action.

For those living in the US, would a city like Portland have CCTV cameras everywhere like we have in the UK? Would this kind of attack make the local or even national news?

Those women are incredibly brave to have protested; & the men who assaulted them want locking up. In the male estate, obviously. The absolute grace & dignity of the WDI Members is genuinely inspirational. The behaviour of the TRAs, by contrast, is that of the very dregs of society. And saying that, I feel I should apologise to most of the dregs of society because they’d be disgusted by these violent criminals too.

Solidarity to the women there. We’re any of the men/ tras arrested?

That library statement, they seem scared.

Sooner or later, and the way its going probably sooner, these violent men are actually to go kill a woman at a rally, and the police will just let it happen.

Very strange statement from the Library

That’s awful. I wish the mainstream media would cover the fact that women get beaten up by transwomen, but the media are too busy telling us that refusing to use preferred pronouns is ‘literal violence’.

These were very brave women.

From what I can gather, Portland is a dystopic hellhole. There is no way I'd even consider doing what they did today, there is no system there any more. Certainly no police protection.

They called 911 repeatedly and nobody attended.

Jesus christ.

Fucking hell.

Somebody's father, brother, husband is going to take matters into their own hands, at this rate. The police MUST enforce the law.

Update: 4 women are seeking further medical attention for their injuries. PortlandPolice have taken statements about the attack.

We don't yet have bodycam footage ready, but do have a few stills from near the library, where #trantifa may have attacked patrons not with WDI USA.

The details are terrifying.

An event organised in a Portland by Women's Declaration International, USA was targeted by violent anarchists and assorted male trans" rights supporters. In the run up to the event cars vandalised, gun threats were issued and women were stalked. Security told the women they could not keep them or the library staff safe; too many men showed up threatening violence. The women decided to give their speeches on the street outside the library after threats seemed to risk library staff. In response multiple men carried out violent attacks. Women were punched, kicked, pepper sprayed and pushed to ground. Cameras were stolen some short summaries :

Melinda's phone was seized and smashed before she was hit in the face with a full can of pepper spray. This is male terrorism against women.

"I was blinded and in a lot of pain...They kept hitting her [Lierre] and hitting her."

Sam: "They punched me in the face, and when I fell down they kicked me in the head...Women don't deserve this. Men have no right to do this. This has to stop."

"I was standing there holding the banner with some other women, and some guys started throwing things at us...beer bottles...yellow liquid."

Not only did the men pepper spray and knock Cass down, breaking her glasses, they also attacked an elderly female passerby who had nothing to do with WDI USA's event.

"They came down two sides of the street and quickly surrounded us..I was knocked to ground...I was kicked..."

Multiple WDI USA women called 911 as the men pepper sprayed, punched, kicked, and threw objects at them while stealing and breaking their phones and cameras. Portland Police officers did not arrive to protect the women exercising their 1A rights.

Everyone is safe now, but the women have many injuries. Police did not respond to several 911 calls during the attack.

We'll do our best to get some of the women's bodycam footage out as soon as possible.

The cowardly men tore at least two of the GoPros off women's bodies while assaulting them, then ran away with the cameras.

WDI twitter page has short video interviews with multiple women who were attacked:

Women who speak up in the US are running huge risks and are so brave. However clearly keeping silent is not an option. Either they confront male domination and violence now or it will come after them or their kids in the future.

No it's not in many cities, it's mainly just Portland where they are purposefully underfunded. It's a hub of progress there, in the middle of a dumpster fire of a nation collapsing. Nowhere in the US do cops not care. It's quite the opposite but it's not "caring" either way, it's control gained by violence. I'm not sure where you're getting your information from (Twitter!?) but the media is not your friend in gaining insight into this. I live here btw.
