The Portland rioters do not want to be photographed - they might be identified. From The College Fix:
Student reporter gets a not-so-subtle threat: ‘STOP FILMING’ anti-Trump protests
Portland State University’s student media are covering the riots against President-elect Donald Trump in their city, and someone apparently doesn’t want the attention.
Mike Bivins, who writes for the Pacific Sentinel campus magazine and has been on a tear with video from the protests, got a threatening letter that ended:
STOP FILMING. CONSIDER THIS A WARNING.
His colleague at the Vanguard student paper, Andy Ngo, posted the flyer that Bivins received. It pretty baldly demands that student journalists stop reporting – which might incidentally help police identify suspects – and start advocating for the protesters’ causes.
Nineteen Eighty-Four was supposed to be a warning. It was not supposed to be a training manual.
