WATCH: ‘Mutual combat’ on Portland bridge after caravan of Trump supporters almost ran over protesters

There were tense situations in Portland on Saturday as a caravan of Donald Trump supporters drove through the city.

“With the usual caveat that I’m terrible at crowd estimates, I’d say about 1,000 people are here throughout the parking lot right now and maybe like 1 million flags,” is how New York Times correspondent Mike Baker described the event.

Oregon Public Broadcasting journalist Sergio Olmos posted videos of a truck almost running over protesters and “a lot of aggression.”

think they can stop him by jumping in front and "pushing it back".

Too many people on all sides being stupid, and someone's gonna get hurt. The shitheads shooting stuff out of their trucks are a real problem. Anyone got cans of spray paint, or paintballs, to mess up their windshields?

(Shit, there I go adding my stupidity to the mess...)
