Violent rioters and thugs allegedly beat a man in Portland last night, punching and kicking the man in the head after he reportedly attempted to defend someone who had been attacked, according to the Daily Wire.
The man then appeared to try to flee the scene in his truck before crashing into a building, at which point he was violently attacked by what independent journalists have identified as Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists. During the attack, a man kicked him in the face from behind and knocked him out cold. Some of the witnesses pushed the perpetrator back from the victim.

“A crowd is gathered around the unconscious victim’s body; some are pouring water on his head,” journalist Kalen D’Almeida tweeted out. “Others can be heard arguing and establishing BLM responsibility for the attack.”

Journalist Drew Hernandez also shared videos of the incident, showing all that had happened leading up to the incident.
“Here is what took place before the man crashed his car into a tree here in Downtown Portland,” Hernandez tweeted. “BLM thugs began to harass and physically assault him and his female partner in the street for defending someone they robbed. He then began to drive away to evade them.”

Hernandez also tweeted out a video of the truck crashing into a building, writing that these are “the moments shortly after the man crashes due to BLM harassment and before they knock him out in Portland.”

“At 10:27p.m., Central Precinct officers responded to a report of an injury accident at Southwest Broadway and Southwest Taylor Street,” The Portland Police Department stated.
“The report said protesters were chasing the truck before it crashed, and they assaulted the driver after the crash.”
“Officers encounters a hostile crowd and a squad from the Rapid Response Team (RRT) responded to help secure the scene while the investigation was underway,” the statement noted.
“The driver was transported to the hospital by ambulance with serious injuries. The incident is under investigation and no arrests have been made.”
This comes after Democrat House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler claimed that the violence in Portland was a myth, though he did not provide any evidence for his asinine assertion.
Hernandez continued by providing another tweet, writing: “For the record, this was the extreme rhetoric that was being preached by BLM just hours before they began to take to the streets and violently harass, rob, physically assault people and nearly execute a man.”
“I will continue my mission by any means necessary,” the speaker said in the video. “I said I will continue my mission for justice by any means necessary.”
The speaker then raises their voice, saying: “I don’t think y’all hear me, I’m gonna say it one more time. I said that I will continue my mission for justice to hold police accountable for murders and murdering our people by any means necessary.”
“And I’m sure we all know what ‘any means necessary’ is and how it can go,” the speaker added.
Not only have Antifa and BLM thugs been outspoken about their intent to commit violent crimes, President Donald Trump has made known his intent to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization. His announcement came shortly after George Floyd’s death, at which time Portland journalist Andy Ngo announced that he was suing Rose City Antifa for assault and damages that occurred in the summer of 2019.
The riots and protests amid the death of Floyd have raged on for nearly 90 days, resulting in vandalism, arson, burglary, assault, and murder. Liberal political leaders have not only been passive in putting down the violence, but some have even supported the destruction that currently plagues the U.S.
