They go low, we go high she says.
A mob of Portland Black Lives Matter protesters forced a white man to crash his truck, then punched and kicked him unconscious, disturbing footage shows.
A series of clips on social media shows the victim being surrounded in his white Ford truck at 10.30 p.m. Sunday as others attacked a woman he was with, who was punched and even tackled to the ground during the violent melee.
“He didn’t do nothing!” someone could be heard calling as others punched the driver as he sat in his truck, which was also repeatedly kicked.
The unidentified driver eventually sped off, with the mob chasing him — with some heard loudly laughing when he crashed into a tree and then a building, according to the clips.
He was dragged from the truck and tackled to the ground as he begged for help — getting repeatedly punched as he tried to call his wife while pleading with his attackers as he sat on the ground, the videos show.
“I ain’t tryna hurt no one,” he told them, with the only unexplained accusation heard in the clips being that “COVID is real.”
“I was trying to get out the way,” he insisted of crashing his truck, as several of the group punched him in the face and repeatedly called the white driver the N-word.
As the mob dispersed to watch another fight, the main offender circled back around — kicking the defenseless driver in the face from behind, instantly knocking him out with his head cracking on the road.
“What the f–k is you talkin’ about n—er!” the attacker — wearing a shirt with “SECURITY” on the front and back — screamed after the thud of his victim’s head hitting the ground.
The victim was then shown bleeding from a large wound in the back of his head as he appeared unconscious throughout another almost 2½-minute clip. The woman was shown sobbing nearby as the mob held her back and appeared to rifle through his truck.
“Black live matter, n—er!” one man continually ranted as other people checked the victim was still alive. Even as he remained unconscious, a woman was heard taunting him, “Get your b-tch ass up!”
Police in riot gear had to assist ambulance crews helping him as they were confronted by “a hostile crowd,” Portland police said in a release.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries, police said. “The incident is under investigation and no arrests have been made,” the force said.
It was unclear what sparked the confrontation, but some witnesses tweeted that he had tried to intervene in an altercation between the mob and another person.
Police said that “protesters were chasing the truck before it crashed, and they assaulted the driver after the crash.”
Kalen D’Almeida, the co-founder of Scriberr News, who shared one of the videos. tweeted: “A man accused of trying to run over protesters crashed his vehicle. BLM & Antifa militants then pull him from the car and violently assault him.”

He claimed that it was “specifically a militant #BLM group that left the #BLM protest to intentionally incite violence tonight.”
The incident came days after Seattle BLM members marched through gentrified neighborhoods and demanded white people give up their homes.
And it came a day after Portland officials once again declared a riot as mobs once again brought violence while claiming to protest the death of George Floyd, as they have done nightly for almost two months.

It appears the BLM rioters also beat and robbed a trans woman and beat the crap out of a man who told them to leave her alone. Marquise Love, the man who attempted to murder the unconscious man on the ground, was ‘security’ that evening.
Defund the police? I don’t damned think so.

The rioters responsible for that violence, whether actually authentic BLM activists or not, deserve to be prosecuted and penalized to the full extent of the law, if the reporting of the incident is accurate. I don't believe, however, any of the founders and leaders of BLM would have condoned that kind of behavior, whether provoked or not, or that the BLM movement is illegitimate or unjust.
I have seen BLM activists and demonstrators marching around the streets and commercial and public areas even in the modest sized, rural, California city where I live, but not even a hint of violent confrontation, property damage or even disrespect shown by them to me or any other citizens in their vicinity. I sympathize with and respect their cause and right to demonstrate for it, and have, so far, never had any reason to feel the slightest bit of apprehension by their presence.

Was this mulatto man secretly a white supremacist trying to besmirch the reputation of these "peaceful BLM protesters," marching? It couldn't possibly be that a gang of BLM protesters would beat and kick a white man unconscious for interfering with the mugging they were about to perform.
if the reporting of the incident is accurate.
You sure weren't concerned about context with any of these police brutality videos. The snippet of the video was enough. Why is that not enough now?
I don't believe, however, any of the founders and leaders of BLM would have condoned that kind of behavior,
Can you show me where these BLM leaders have condemned Marquise Love's actions? Or even called off their dogs so to speak?

I've never been mistreated by any of the "unite the right," protesters while visiting my ancestral home in Virginia. I respect their right to peacefully protest.
The left always talks about "hate." I've never met more hateful people than those on the far left nor have I yet to see one word of empathy from people like Michelle Obama for this man beaten unconscious by one of her supporters.

Oh gee look, a couple of racists going at it again over another context free video that was edited for effect. Imagine that. Let's ignore the fact that there were other white people on the street who weren't being attacked, and that Twitter feeds suggest this guy was targeted for a racial slur he tossed out there before fleeing to his truck. Let's also ignore the video showing him driving like a maniac putting lives at risk. Let's just blame black people, or even better, let's call them all official representatives of BLM.
All in all, the level of death and destruction has been spectacularly low when you consider there have been literally hundreds of nationwide protests involving tens of millions of BLM supporters over the past three months. And to this day, the only deaths have come at the hands of people who weren't affiliated with BLM or were white supremacists posing as ANTIFA for the purposes of starting a race war.
Given the number of black people who have died unjustifiably at the hands of white cops, I think their restraint during their protests has been nothing short of impressive. Sure, every week or so you'll see footage of some looter and FOX News will be sure to run that clip on a loop for days while pretending that individual is a BLM spokesperson. But what they're not showing is the constant marching of tens of thousands of peaceful protesters. Because who needs nuance and context when you're intent is to paint an entire movement as a terrorist threat? I mean that kind of institutionalized racist agenda coming from the media is basically all the justification they need for their movement to exist.

The Obama administration separated migrant children from families
under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history.
But family separations
as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy, which he eventually suspended because of the uproar. Obama had no such policy.

Kind of like the out of context police brutality videos that the left burns down cities over.
Let's ignore the fact that there were other white people on the street who weren't being attacked,
In the case of your preferred media outlet, let's ignore stories like this altogether.
feeds suggest this guy was targeted for a racial slur he tossed out there before fleeing to his truck.
First of all this man was beaten for trying to stop a mugging, not hurling a racial slur. The fact that you think calling someone names should be worthy of a vigilante death sentence shows your hypocrisy. Secondly this is why protesters who start beating on your windows and trying to tear you from your vehicle are a lethal threat for which running them over with your vehicle is a reasonable act of self defense. This is why we need the second amendment.

I'm sick of these KKK assholes rioting, disturbing peaceful protesters. Radical right wingers are going nuts burning down our cities.
(Blaming entire groups without evidence is fun).

There you go again, showing that empathy that Democrats are so famous for.
