Black Lives Matter protesters violently assaulted a man, kicking him unconscious, in Portland. Fox News. The brutal assault has gone viral with several videos showing the incident. The man was in his truck and fled from protesters. He then crashed his truck and was surrounded and assaulted by the protesters.

My Comment:
I'm limited on what I can link to on this page. There are a lot more videos of what was posted above but even that might be too much for blogger. Needless to say that this was a senseless act of violence. More video is available online but I don't think I can link to it.

I can however summarize what I have seen. The man and his wife was trying to help a transgender person that may have been assaulted and robbed. They tried to defend this person but the mob turned on them. The mans wife was assaulted and tackled and she ran away on foot. The man's truck was attacked and he was hit. He fled, knocked a couple of people over (driving much slower than I would have) and then crashed his truck. That's when the assault happened.

It seems as though the suspect in the attack has been doxed. I won't repeat his name (or the name of the victims) as they haven't been publicly released, but the information is out there. It seems as though 4chan has tracked them down. Hopefully they will end up finding the attackers and arresting them.

That being said I have little faith in the police and the prosecutors in Portland, Oregon. The political situation there is in the tank for Black Lives Matter and Antifa and even though this assault was absolutely horrible. It seems as though the police is trying to solve this case but I doubt the prosecutor will move on them. Indeed, the new DA is already dropping charges against rioters. With such a man in power I doubt we will see any justice here.

I do think that this attack was entirely caused by the fact that the Portland police have been muzzled. Outside of Portland, Seattle and Chicago, all states ran by far left mayors, the riots have subsided. Even Minneapolis has finally calmed down. It shows that deploying the national guard and being aggressive with arrests is the way to keep the peace. But these leftist cities have no interest in that.

I do think that these kinds of attacks are going to turn people against Black Lives Matter and the Democrats in general. Indeed, some of the polling I have seen has borne that out. This attack has gone viral and shows that the idea that these were "peaceful protests" was nothing but a lie. Whatever the movement was originally about it's clear that it's not about anything but violence and destruction now.

I also have to say that the media narrative with Portland is now undeniably wrong as well. For weeks all we were hearing is that peaceful protesters were getting attacked by the Federal government. The feds have now pulled out but the violence hasn't stopped which means the feds were never the problem in the first place.

All I know is that I am tired of this. Though I agree that there would have been blowback for President Trump cracking down on these people, letting them run rampant has been a disaster. I am hoping that sooner or later that everyone else will be tired of them as well. All I know there can't be more attacks like this...
