Elderly Man Beaten With Crowbar, Another Has Head Split Open By Antifa While Trying To Help 'Gay Man In Sundress'
2019-07-03
[DAILYWIRE] During the violent rioting by Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
protesters in Portland, Oregon this weekend, two men attending a "Him Too" gathering were viciously beaten by the far-left activists.

One of the victims, identified by commentator and journalist Michelle Malkin as John Blum, suffered a bloodied face after he was beaten with a crowbar. The other man, identified as Adam Kelly, had his head split open by criminal Antifa members, suffering a concussion; he needed 25 stitches.

Blum and Kelly were in Pioneer Courthouse Square to attend a demonstration for the "Him Too" movement, which purports to raise awareness for male sexual assault victims and men falsely accused of sex crimes. The men apparently stepped into the Antifa chaos trying to "help a gay man in a sun dress being chased down the street," according to Malkin.

"While John was being pummeled by the mob in the center, Adam was struck in the head with nunchucks, metal water bottles, some sort of metal rod, and fists," Malkin reported on Sunday. "John was sprayed with mace and blinded. He was led away as blood dripped down his face, then dragged to a sidewalk. Another observer notes that one of Adam's attackers appears to wield something like a sock and padlock."

#16  Provo- I am pretty sure the courts have ruled the government and police have no obligation to provide protection.

#15  Unfortunately, according to a Google search, Portland does not allow carrying loaded guns in public, even with a permit.

Which is why we have jury trials. I would interpret that such laws impose upon the governmental entity the responsibility for protection. Thus, the governmental entity should be held financially accountable for any damages, injury or death that results due to omission.

#11  Long past time to let these fuckers have it.

Declare an insurrection in Portland and send in a couple divisions. Arrest all the politicians and anyone wearing a black mask is shot on sight.

Notice that there is not a lot of Antifa activity in places that are 2nd Amendment friendly.

#5  Domestic terrorism, insurrection. Any violent movement that targets civilians, clashes with police, bears its own standard and claims to be 'hunting fascists' qualifies as a militia. Because fascist can only refer to those who support the democratically elected administration.

They are an underground terrorist organization fully supported by bureaucracy in blue states. American citizens have only days left to fight them down, I think. There need to be leaders who can rally up guerilla support, doxxing campaigns, legal assist. Trump will not do anything about it until second term and before draining the federal swamp. It is up to common people now.

#4  “Rose City Antifa the group of anarchist militants responsible for organizing Saturday's protest in Portland...”

Sounds like a perfect candidate for a RICO indictment.

#3  It's not just Antifa. That day they partnered with the DSA, and also 2 skinhead groups SHARP and RASH. The pics of Adam Kelley's head split open in multiple wounds...what can one say? It's sad that these are the times we live in - denying only makes it worse.

#2  A man in a sundress being chased ? Rescuers beaten half to death with ... dildo and a chastity belt ?

What is this ?!

Also, antifa could now be playing mercenary for pressure groups, lobbyists.

#1  And I'll bet Portland won't be able to find these guys. And if they are delivered on a silver platter they will charge them with jaywalking.
