Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson announced Friday on Facebook Live that his Aug. 4 rally would take place at the waterfront in downtown Portland.While Gibson said more information about the rally would become available this weekend, this location could allow rally attendees to carry guns. Portland code prohibits weapons in parks, but guns carried by those with a valid Oregon concealed handgun license are allowed. However, the city of Portland is looking into options to see if there are restrictions that can be placed, Portland police spokesperson Sgt. Pete Simpson said.
Patriot Prayer is a right-wing group that has previously staged rallies in Portland, and police declared the group’s June 30 rally a riot. Gibson is a U.S. Senate candidate in Washington, though he comes to Portland to rally and march.

CLEANSED, I say.
The streets will be flowing with freedom, and the air will be filled with patriotism. And fear will have no place in our midst…Recourse will be swift, for those who wish to oppress our freedoms…And the hands of Justice shall smite them with a vengeance heretofore unknown to these ne’er-do-wells. Join me, Patriots…let the memories and struggles of our Founding Fathers not be in vain.
