Leaving the NK protest in PDX I saw 2 guys grabbing a young woman. She was yelling for help so a few of us intervened. Apparently right wing podcasters they said to us they were making a citizens arrest. To her: “We’ll let you go if you give us an interview.” That’s not an arrest, that’s extortion.
