The Proud Boys — designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center — rallied Saturday in Portland in numbers far below what they’d projected, and then began to disperse after less than two hours.
The city had braced for violence as the group, known for confrontations with left wing and antifascist protesters, arrived at Delta Park in North Portland around 10 a.m. A counterdemonstration took place at nearby Peninsula Park.
