\n Protesters and counter protesters clash on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon.<\/span>

\n A demonstrator and a motorist engaged in a tense, gunpoint standoff on a Eugene, Ore. street, video of the run-in shows.<\/p>\n

The confrontation unfolded during a march last weekend, when the driver ordered protesters to clear an intersection he was attempting to navigate, according to a student-journalist who witnessed the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone in traffic app<\/a>arently pulled a gun and said \u2018get the f\u2013k out of my way,’\u201d tweeted C. Francis O\u2019Leary, of the University of Oregon\u2019s Daily Emerald.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruck guy pulled his gun again, BLM [Black Lives Matter] protester ran up with their own gun and said drop it,\u201d added O\u2019Leary in another message, along with a four-second video of the pair training their weapons on each other.<\/p>\n

Video live-streamed on Twitch by user rayne238 captured more of the encounter and events leading up to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen that light turns green, you\u2019d better f\u2013king move,\u201d the unidentified driver could be heard telling a crowd of demonstrators blocking the intersection and gathering around his pick-up truck.<\/p>\n

As he engaged in a shouting match with activists standing outside the vehicle, the motorist opened the driver\u2019s side door, got out, trained a handgun on one demonstrator and barked, \u201cLeave now! \u2026 Get the f\u2013k away from me right now!\u201d<\/p>\n

He eventually closed the door of the truck and slowly drove off, cooler heads appealing to prevail.<\/p>\n

But just a few feet away, he again stopped, opened the door and got into the standoff with a protester packing a piece of his own.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrop the gun! Drop the gun!\u201d yelled the demonstrator, clad in all-black and a bicycle helmet, as they pointed their handguns at each other through the truck\u2019s rolled-down window.<\/p>\n

After about 20 harrowing seconds, the motorist closed the door and drove off for good.<\/p>\n

The standoff came on a night when protests continued to rage in the Beaver State, particularly in Portland, about 110 miles north of Eugene.<\/p>\n

There, authorities declared a riot overnight Saturday as thousands of demonstrators breached a federal courthouse when agents sent in by the Trump administration to quell the unrest had been marshaling.<\/p>\n

The Oregon protests, now in their second month, were ignited by the May death of George Floyd, a black man killed when a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
