But Greg Clark, an organizer of the protest and a member of the Portland Anarchist Black Cross (ABC), had a different take: “I saw people taking direct action against the tightening grip of fascism and global capitalism.”
Clark, the Portland anarchist, also didn’t back Clinton. He voted for Sean Swain in the presidential election, an anarchist running from a super-maximum-security prison. “If he’s elected, he’ll burn down the White House and make every day a national holiday, effectively abolishing work. He’s my candidate,” Clark said. (Clark denied that members of his organization had damaged property in Portland or been arrested, but added, “We do not condemn the actions anyone took tonight.” Local police didn’t disclose whether they had arrested any members of the group.)
