Patriot Prayer is so bad..that you had to make up stories in your head about them.

If you're referring to the "attack" in NY in which several members of the Patriot Prayer were arrested it was more like Antifa attacked them as they were leaving the bar. The Antifa members didn't even cooperate with police and anonymously gave their side of the story and the police never bothered to look for them because oh yeah, they were wearing masks and were somehow allowed to remain anonymous while giving their side of the attack.

For the next 20 minutes, Ben films as the group loiters a few blocks away from Cider Riot, waiting for Gibson to show up.
As the group waits, they discuss their weaponry. A few men try to guess which way the wind's blowing to avoid getting "spray" in their eyes, presumably when they use it against members of antifa. Another man holds a thick wooden dowel, and practices swinging it like a baseball bat. A woman carries a red brick in her hand. Some don goggles, helmets, and tactical gloves.
"Who's texting Joey?" Someone asks when the group seems to be without a game plan. Another man says, “Tell Joey and them to hurry the fuck up.”
Ben captures someone telling a person on speakerphone, "There's going to be a huge fight," and gives them directions to Cider Riot.
Ngo doesn’t film any of the conversations, and smiles when the group cracks jokes.
“He overheard everything,” Ben recalls, “and said nothing.”
As soon as Gibson appears with Adams, the group walks the remaining blocks to Cider Riot. People sitting on the cidery’s patio, many of them dressed in all black (a tactic called “black bloc,” used by some anti-fascists), appear prepared. What happened next was May Day’s headline-maker: A massive street brawl instigated by members of Patriot Prayer, featuring oddly structured fist fights in a haze of pepper spray and name-calling.
“This is so fucking weird,” Ben tells his livestream followers as he films the fights, pausing to wipe pepper spray from around his eyes. Officers with the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) didn’t arrive on the scene for an hour.
Ben says the Cider Riot fight was the first time he directly intervened in action taken by Patriot Prayer.
“It’s time to leave, guys,” Ben is heard yelling at the group after one man—later identified as Ian Kramer—used a baton to knock a woman out cold. “Calm your shit!” His video ends after the group is chased down the street by shouting people dressed in black bloc.
