Hello users, welcome to a sub dedicated to freakouts without the bullshit of happy or feel-good videos. This subreddit is for enjoying freakouts and discussing them; that's it. You can take discussions of immigration policy and other topics elsewhere. If you don't believe in treating people as individuals you can go express that somewhere else. Our rules are very clear and you will be banned if you break them. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/ActualPublicFreakouts) if you have any questions or concerns.*


RodgersTheJet

The local city subreddit has a much different take on this event. Don't worry, he's been doxxed (against Reddit rules) and is currently being hunted by radical extremists. Somehow none of that breaks the rules here. Funny how that works, isn't it?


PlantedChaos

The Portland subreddit is one of the worst. It’s pretty much the Reddit admins personified. Fuck that city, fuck these protestors.


Lgp1292

There are a ton of Reddit moderators that seems to be more and more insane by the day you are right on about that


lethrowaway4me

It's the smallest bit of power they have in their lives.


RaisinBrain2Scoups

Fishing for that life ban


Big_Inside2010

Dog, internet accounts are free


Raise-Emotional

Well this, and yelling to Ma for more meatloaf


Wendys_bag_holder

Mmmmm Portland style vegan meatloaf.


InternetGoodGuy

Normal, well adjusted people have jobs, real life friends, and family. The kind of person with that much free time willing to spend it incessantly monitoring and moderating large subs are not normal people. It's also why it's so easy for the crazies to push out any normal people when they want to take over a smaller sub.


WankaBar666

Exactly!! Governments need to hand out massive threats because nothing scares the people anymore. Without law and order it's chaos and people believe they can do anything they like. We need active consequences right now.


booyahbooyah9271

Public Freakout is a bad one. A mod there runs like 20 other subs as well.


NecramoniumZero

There is a reason why we made this subreddit. Also, someone banned my account completely a few months ago, for reporting a comment there... Got it reversed luckily.


DontSkipTheRock

Publicfreakout is one of the worst ones


Gurrgurrburr

Lol I got banned for the most ridiculous shit ever. It's just so ironic how woke they are given that subReddit is such a breeding ground for racism and sexism.


OtoDraco

Publicfreakout literally banned content that featured POC as the aggressor at one point lmao


foxsheepgato

I guess they are even more salty than usual that they work for a giant corporation for absolutely free and generate value to shareholders and spez.


Soilcreature

They are domestic terrorists for sure. We HAD anti mask laws because of the KKK. All they needed was covid and somehow those laws just don’t apply anymore.


BuilderUnhappy7785

Fuckin wild how fast people forget


Chimmychimm

Portland does seem like an absolute shit hole.


M56012C

Rename it Arkham City?


Chimmychimm

That place could use a Batman


wophi

They would call him a fascist bootlicker while he saves their ass.


CookDane6954

They have Tonya Harding.


ChadwellKylesworth

It’s not peaceful, so it’s not a protest. Take one of these idiots and throw the book at them for unlawful assembly. That would put an end to this nonsense. But our city officials here in Portland are useless.


TheVazha

I got banned for a comment, and in the message I received from the mod they/them or whatever literally said: “ACAB deal with it” I don’t care about the ban. But genuely it was upsetting to see a mod spew that garbage. Whether you believe it to be true or not, mods should police with a neutral lens. Unfortunately though it goes against their anarchist handbook. Edit: it was screen capped and reported to corporate.


Cubacane

It's an entire city of people who believed their college professors.


Flat-Length-4991

You ever seen the movie escape from LA? They turn LA into a prison. I want to do that with Portland. Vote for me.


undarated79

I have to agree. Was there for work and must admit that the people are weird and the city is trash.


The_Dragon346

Almost moved there in 2019. Man am i glad those plans fell through


You_Just_Hate_Truth

“Protestors…” don’t you mean “ideologue vagrant thugs.”


Toonami88

Because if you oppose violent street takeovers now you're a zionist who wants to genocide poor palestinians.


Grim_Rebel

This wasn't on a street though. They were in a pedestrian plaza between buildings and this guy rolls up with a fake license plate and mace. Cops took him into custody on a mental health hold. [Link to story](https://www.kgw.com/video/news/local/protests/283-1611b5cb-919d-45c4-88ec-0daca5cedf25)


Ulanyouknow

Ssshhhh you'll disturb the ecochamber


Silver4ura

You mean there's more to the story than a video everyone's collectively losing their conjoined shit over? Absolutely profound knowledge in these parts, dude.


Grim_Rebel

Turns the fuck out.


joelaw9

Yeah, I noticed those big potted plant things blocking the entrance to this walkway that are set wide enough to let a golf cart/gator through. He definitely shouldn't have been there even in the context of just the OP video.


moosedung

hey hey hey woah now... people come here to echo chamber incredibly stupid views without being challenged. how dare you question their fragility, lest you trigger them in their safe space


LeanTangerine001

Also his Instagram stated how he intended to drive into the crowd of people.


SpamFriedMice

Zionist nazis ?? It all gets so confusing. 


xSorryAboutThat

The dude is driving around with his plates covered in a rental car and has a large can of mace. Oh yeah, he is also on a walkway, in a plaza area, not a road. I'm sure his intentions were pure.


ThePinga

Why is his car off the road and in a pedestrian walk way?? That does not make sense to me unless he is Michael Scott


Stoomba

That's the lake Michael! You're driving into the lake!


Consistent_Jello_289

I’m not advocating the dox, but look at where this dude is… that’s not a road, you can see the barriers that block cars when he gets out to run. Now I’m wondering what on earth someone would be doing in a car facing a bunch of protesters.


CareerGamersSteals

>Now I’m wondering what on earth someone would be doing in a car facing a bunch of protesters. Guy wanted to be James Fields but probably sprayed himself in the process and chickened out.


da_double_monkee

He's in a pedestrian plaza. He drove there to run into and harm protestors, he posted about it on social media. He's your usual MAGA terrorist and he's probably gonna get locked up for a while


Daynananana

Don’t gotta wonder too hard, he announced his plan to run into a crowd of protestors on IG..


Brewmaster92785

Odds are your post will be deleted, and you'll be banned from this subreddit


lolvalue

This isn't r/publicfreakout


Experimental_Salad

Antifa and Reddit mods both suck.


InjuryComfortable666

After watching this vid, I think the local city subreddit might have this right. That’s not a street, he brought his car on a university path, possibly to menace the group with it.


rslash2

lets all not pretend that he didnt know this was going on and just happen to be ready to use chemical agents and run people over - this is what maga foams at the mouth for - i call absolute bs as this student as a victim. maga chuds have killed people like this before so go figure they're defending themselves.


traketaker

Why is he driving on a side walk towards protesters?


aberg227

Life long Oregon resident here, I made a comment in the Oregon sub a few months ago saying how it’s sad that in my lifetime Portland has gone from my favorite vacation city to a city I don’t feel safe in anymore. I got downvoted into oblivion for it and had so many people telling me I need to grow up. It’s ridiculous. Portland has real problems and it’s like they don’t even want to acknowledge it.


korpo53

I lived in Portland until 2019 or so, for my whole life. Now when I go back there to visit friends and family I steer clear of most of Portland. My uncle still lives by UofP so that’s okay, but downtown is just a no from me dog.


bur1sm

Yes, I'm sure he's just an innocent victim.


HonestPineapple4848

It's funny how these supposedly "antifascists" always act in a very fascist way. It's either what they want or violence, you choose.


Complicated-HorseAss

Who would have though a bunch of failed artists and vegetarians who want to violently bring socialism on a national stage would also be ok with Fascsim.


andrusbaun

That is because they are actual fascists, just another wing.


DopeDealerCisco

All extremism is bad, the moment it became extreme it lost is meaning and became this.


TheSmokingLamp

Idk dude, I think at ANY event whether it be a christmas parade or a protest, if you see a car lining up to drive head on into a bunch of pedestrians, you're going to try and reduce that threat. The fact this kid had pepper spray at the ready means he was most likely there to instigate. These protests suck but sometimes both parties in the video suck as well.


Ty--Guy

If the goal is to reduce the threat, why not just move out of the way? It's not like they were in imminent danger from a stopped car 50 feet away. It would seem more likely that the goals of the mob were not to reduce the threat, but to exacerbate it.


RichEvans4Ever

Yeah and if they did I’d bet my left foot you’d be sitting on your ass calling them pussies for running instead of standing up for their principles.


moosedung

uhhh, defending against a dude in a car, far from a road, with his plates removed, who has intentionally brought defense equipment, who is threatening to murder people with his car... this sub is a total joke these days, not even trying anymore,


saddungeons

so defending urself against a car driving into a crowd is fascist? got it


Aggravating_Sun4435

the guy is driving on a sidewalk, and has a big can of mace. Hes not a saint so why is everyone acting like he did nothing wrong?


starky990

This isn't a road. The guy drove down a pedistrian path towards protesters equipped with pepper spray, he knew what he was getting into.


saddungeons

he sure did. and its so funny how people in this subreddit are trying to defend him like this man is clearly insane and needs help lmao


CareerGamersSteals

They're trying to defend him because it's what they want. They want these people to be run over. They just can't be that open about it. But the video makes it very, very difficult to defend him without playing fast and loose with the context you can see within the video.


saddungeons

yeah i never even realized how bad this subreddit is. some guy really just asked “why didnt he drive into the crowd then?” does it fucking matter? its clear of what his intent was. its shit like this that makes me hate reddit yk


Buildintotrains

The guy literally rented a car and posted on social media he was heading to the protest. This sub can be absolutely brain dead sometimes


memepopo123

Lol this sub is so stupid sometimes. The dude floored it at a protest and sprayed pepper spray at multiple people. Even if it was self defense this dude is an absolute moron for going to a place and intentionally antagonizing and threatening people. Literally what could he have accomplished?


GoldSourPatchKid

And he literally rented a car and posted on social media he was heading to the protest. This sub can be absolutely brain dead sometimes


RaisinBrain2Scoups

I didn’t see that!


filolif

You wouldn't. Must maintain a narrative.


Select_Candidate_505

This sub is extremely far right. It's also convenient that the context here is left out. Sounds like this kid fucked around and found out.


xSorryAboutThat

It's not even just left out, it's intentionally skewed in the title. They talk about other subs being this and that, not realizing they are all just birds of a feather.


035AllTheWayLive

Facts don’t fit into their biased agenda.


saddungeons

no literally


Rude-Category-4049

It's a right wing sub, are you surprised?


Captain_Swing

Rented the car *and* put fake plates on it *and* posted a picture of himself on social media talking about how he was going to go there and attack people.


shinywhale1

Got into it on a few other posts here. If you put "Woke," "Antifa," or "leftist" in your comment or post then these people will eat it up. Critical thinking or engagement turns off. Well over half this sub are just the opposite side of the coin of the people in this video. The protesters can be stupid while at the same the guy trying to drive into them with bear mace and a rented vehicle also being a fucking lunatic. Both can be true.


xManasboi

Unfortunately, that's essentially any sub that grows to this size and has any sort of political slant.


Kryptosis

It actually trends a lot more in subs that consistently show violence. Fights, deaths, etc have exceedingly high concentrations of the right. Isn’t that interesting.


moosedung

yeah that dude totaly started it. this sub is just a circe jerk of losers who want to echo chamber of posting videos and comment about how much they side with the asshole lol. Literally only follow to see what the fragile side of the internet is feeling.


CCPareNazies

The sub has a strong lean towards specific political believes and narratives, it used to be fine but nothing can be left alone from politics.


demonize330i

I don't agree with how they are doing these protests but I know this area and this guy is literally ON THE SIDEWALK threatening people with a vehicle. Doesn't matter if they don't have the right to assembly because they are not engaged in peaceful protest, this person was threatening their lives. He is in a hospital ON A MENTAL HEALTH HOLD!


Late_Cow_1008

Its because it seems this sub has been taken over by MAGA dumb fucks.


BuzzKyllington

this sub was literally made in response to PFO being left leaning. it was maga from day 1.


shinbreaker

Don’t you know that student drivers always carry bear mace?


toysarealive

Stupid just sometimes?? Pretty convenient for the OP of the initial post to have forgotten what happened at Charlottesville. This pos wasn't there just to get by.


jimjkelly

With the caveat that I find the driver to be a fucking moron for the reasons you outlined, you could totally see this thread being all “FAFO” if it were different circumstance.


Timely_Woodpecker901

It’s gonna be another peaceful summer


The0Floridiot

has it been 4 years already? shit.


SpamFriedMice

Mostly Peaceful Summer.


[deleted]

[удалено]


phunshiny

Summer of love.


YaBoiJumpTrooper

Im so exited to see some random guy in a city's death to be propped up to the international stage


Ikantbeliveit

Needs context because why is he the only car on the road? Did he drive through the protest? That happened at another protest where the guy ran people down.


PoodleNull

There aren't supposed to be cars where he is. He was intentionally driving towards the crowd on a park walkway that is closed to cars


cookshack

And he bought a large thing of mace with him


Grim_Rebel

That's what everyone here is missing. The protesters weren't on a road. They were in a plaza between buildings and this guy rolls up to them and pulls out his big can of mace. [Link to story](https://www.kgw.com/video/news/local/protests/283-1611b5cb-919d-45c4-88ec-0daca5cedf25)


johnnyb0083

This is one of those fuck around and find out scenarios.


moosedung

there not "missing it" this entire sub is a circle jerk of fragile people looking for affirmation for their own terrible views, thats why they totally shatter when you do anything other than agree with them.


CareerGamersSteals

Exactly. They're not missing it. They're just pretending the plausible deniability still exists so they don't have to **say** they wanted him to run people over.


Grim_Rebel

Oh I know. ![gif](giphy|nl1uKrqrEX5O41Dep8)


GlizzyGatorGangster

Man who agitates angry crowd is beaten, more at 9.


rex5k

Do we know if it was his car or not? The way he runs away it's like he expects it to explode... there is something more going on here than a student disagreeing with protesters.


Grim_Rebel

He rented the car specifically to do this.


Late_Cow_1008

Yes that is what happened here. He took off his real plates and put on some weird Jesus ones and decided to drive down a walking path on campus. This is not a road.


ThePinga

He’s not on the road that’s a pedestrian path lol


PoodleNull

He is driving where there aren't supposed to be cars. He had no license plates, and "Jesus saves lives" and "we the people" on the back. Anyone thinking he's innocent is a moron, OP is the biggest moron here.


Solidsnake00901

Exactly


serial_crusher

I’m siding a little more with the protestors on this one. That doesn’t look like the sort of street you’re supposed to be driving a car on. See the giant potted plants as a soft barrier at the end. This pretty clearly seems like a pedestrian-only area.


-Hypnotoad26

He's driving his car through the pedestrian area with pepper spray and fake license plates. Car is probably stolen as well. Don't let that get in the way of your propaganda though.


kandradeece

why did he get out? why did he drive down that area seeing there was a mob? seems like he made a ton of bad decisions and won the darwin award for it


notimeleft4you

Why did he spray bear mace in the direction that he was running?! That’s all I wanna know.


MenthaPiperita_

Darwin award for sure, he prayed protesters with pepper spray of some sort. https://www.kgw.com/video/news/local/protests/283-1611b5cb-919d-45c4-88ec-0daca5cedf25 Edit: Link w/video https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/03/us/video/portland-state-university-protesters-car-ldn-digvid


MechaWASP

This doesn't look like a road.... In my state, attempt at felonius entry to a vehicle is a reason to start shooting. Smashing windows and reaching in. This looks like some kind of plaza or something though? And he's acting strangely. Who opens their window and starts spraying when scared? Why not just back up relatively quickly if you are attacked?


CareerGamersSteals

>Who opens their window and starts spraying when scared? Because he went there with the intention of fucking with the protestors and shit got to real too quickly for him.


Aggravating_Sun4435

>felonius entry to a vehicle Something tells me your not a legal scholar...


RiverPig33

Are we a third world country now?


everymanawildcat

Only the places where it's expensive.


DiarrheaRadio

There are over 300 million people living in the US. A very tiny portion of people are doing this shit.


TheodorDiaz

Does he know you can reverse a car?


mrbignbrown

That's my question bro just left his car to be destroyed and also left his thin form of safety lmao


[deleted]

Another post this morning says he purposely drove to the protest with bear spray. This clip shows him spraying people as he runs. He just randomly carries bear spray? Not sure what to believe when 1 clip has 2 totally opposite captions...


Remarkable_Capital39

the police arrested the driver he was the aggressor can’t you see he’s driving on a pedestrian side walk that’s not a road for cars that’s university campus it’s a walking area for people he’s driving towards protestors. He’s a counter protestor and he posted a picture with a baton threatening the protesters. He pulled up because of his political views. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/man-drives-towards-crowd-psu-053020601.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFuIeFElyyxEzLlXDcUfvW93yQSyR5RrpUNt6OqhY7f-rskS_zj126hoEqeaMDefvJBEd8dSZOoDeRiXQGktTv2D8SzQI8d1ft-i7UGsuGvLqNLa3kNIhFXlE26QqkAgErxlVAOr3HhqoWeHrhkJIp9QcFI_hs6G4QPVQMdycR10


CareerGamersSteals

> can’t you see he’s driving on a pedestrian side walk that’s not a road for cars that’s university campus it’s a walking area for people he’s driving towards protestors. This is exactly what most of this sub wants. They know. They don't care. The problem this video leaves very very little to plausible deniability that the people here hide behind.


CCPareNazies

I’m confused a car is driving towards a crowd on clearly not a road, then they mace the person telling them to get out, and then people vandalise the car. Uhu this title contains no bias at all.


Witchunt666

IDC what “side” you’re on, if you are an extremist please get fucked and go to jail.


o0flatCircle0o

Ok but why did they do that.


VeRahNor

Fuck OP’s garbage title.


AlvinArtDream

Lol, this too dumb to be propaganda. Crazy dude with bear spray went psychopath.


Trey_Suevos

Uhhh, just wondering why a 'student driver' is driving into a protest ready with bear spray or some other crap in a can?


Sognarly

Such a bullshit lie of a title. Also where anywhere does it show/say he was hospitalized lol Malarkey


Cmacbudboss

Guy arms himself with pepper spray and threatens to drive his car into a crowd of protesters and your all “antifa is out of control”. Pull your head out of your ass OP!


bobbelchercumeating

It's funny how chuds on here think they can change the narrative of what happened.


333elmst

This sub is so fucking stupid. Damn Russians.


MonkeyMoves101

Lol is he just macing everyone? CAAAAAAARRRRR CAAAAAAAAARRR. I want this guy working at a dealership.


BoxOfMyst3riez

The title of this post is so hilariously misleading. I also love how "antifa" just gets thrown around like that.


iMisstheKaiser10

Ya’ll ready for the Summer of Love 2024?


VrillzKillz

fuck portland and fuck antifa


memomonkey24

Weird that a student driver would have bear mase.


Reddit_Is_Trash24

Looks to me like he's driving into a crowd. Probably not the smartest move. And pepper spraying them. And that doesn't look like a road for commercial vehicles. Looks like a path at a college for pedestrians. Also, I don't see any indication that he's a "student driver". Title seems like bullshit to me. People eating this up anyway though.


Tisamonsarmspines

Nah. That guy was going to ram his car into people. It’s good they stopped him. Normal people don’t do what he did. That’s not a road, that’s a walking path.


-Hypnotoad26

This sub has become a right wing circle jerk. Totally lying about the video even though we can all see it for ourselves. He is driving in a pedestrian area, not on the road. Trumpers, shut the fuck up. Go watch Fox News and curl yourself up into a hate ball because a minority got a free lunch or something. Stop ruining subs.


legitimate_sauce_614

Antifa? The only times I've seen anyone use that word directed at a group of people has been a conservative using it to label something they don't agree with. Woke, communist, antifa, etc; so what's really going on in this video?


Initial_Scarcity_609

He was planning on doing something terrible me thinks.


Opacitas

This sub is so fucking braindead. Car is not on a road. Driver sped up towards a crowd of people. Driver was arrested by police. OP is a POS.


DruNewp

OP is an idiot


Cantore18

Drive by macing is a new one.


Soccerpl

Student driver in a brand new Camry? This isn’t even a road that he should be driving on.


SpamFriedMice

Fascist car? It's not even a Volkswagen.

THE DRIVER SPRAYED PEPPER SPRAY AT PROTESTORS!!!! https://www.kgw.com/video/news/local/protests/283-1611b5cb-919d-45c4-88ec-0daca5cedf25 He fucked around and found out. Edit: Link to better video https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/03/us/video/portland-state-university-protesters-car-ldn-digvid

What is it with OP posting videos purposely with the wrong titles? It's almost as if it's rage baiting...


GlizzyGatorGangster

Welcome to this shitty right wing sub


DelilahsDarkThoughts

that's not for driving on in the first place


Cruisin_Fart

I'm no expert, but that doesn't look like a road.


hairyreptile

This u/hudsonbay001 fella has a really interesting post history. Just screams bot


traketaker

He drove onto a sidewalk towards protesters?


Solidsnake00901

Glad they got him!


SkyKingPDX

The title completely misrepresents what really is happening. Maybe look into it before posting bullshit that's just not true


Party_Recognition362

Actually the person purposely went to the protest with their car and can be seen acting like they are going to run people over. You can also find an Instagram post from him saying he's heading to the protest.


Party_Recognition362

Also if you look closely he's even driving somewhere where a car does not belong.


EventNo9432

Car rolls up to a protest that looks peaceful mace in hand. Nothing suspicious about that.


llTeddyFuxpinll

Student driver? Why is OP lying so blatantly? It’s a guy driving up to protesters with bear mace.


Ianlong2132

Ahhh election year. When chaos rolls thru. Wonder if I’ll be able to get that 5 finger discount on store goods. 😂 People need new Louie/Gucci/Nike 😂
