Antifa thug knocked out after assaulting participants at #PatriotPrayer rally in Portland.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Two opposing protest groups -- Patriot Prayer and antifa -- clashed in downtown Portland Saturday, CBS Portland affiliate KOIN reports. Portland police said failure to leave the area could leave to arrests, calling the demonstration a riot.
More than 100 members of Patriot Prayer group gathered at Terry Schrunk Plaza for a "freedom rally," while more than 100 counter protesters with an antifa group gathered across the street at Chapman Square for rallies before a march. Police revoked Patriot Prayer's permit for the rally after the two groups began to clash.
People were lighting firecrackers and smoke bombs in the crowd while police used flash bangs in an effort to disperse the clashing protesters. Police tweeted Saturday night they used "aerial distractions" and not tear gas.
Patroit Prayer organizer Joey Gibson told KOIN the clashes "good in terms that we showed that there's a political move right now to have the police stand down in order to impact free speech in some of these big cities."
"Portland's the last city on the West Coast that's doing that, so we just have to keep hitting it -- I don't see what else to do other than that," Gibson said. "We'll make Portland so ugly in terms of how they allow these protesters to charge us when we have a permit. The police stood down, we were told they would not stand down, so we have to challenge it."
A group called Eugene Antifa created a Facebook event called "Defend PDX: Patriot Prayer's violence must end"
"It is very important that antifascists keep up the pressure so that we can stop them once and for all," the Facebook page says.
Portland police told KOIN there would be "significant law enforcement precense" downtown. KOIN reports that police were already dressed in riot gear before the 4 p.m. start time.
The protest was similar to June 3 demonstrations near City Hall in Portland, Oregon, which led to four arrests after clashes between right-wing groups and antifa.
Thousands of people protested earlier Saturday against the the Trump administration's family separations and across the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington. Hundreds of rallies were held nationwide to protest President Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, blasted Mr. Trump's immigration policies and asked the crowd what score the president would get for his zero tolerance policy. The crowd shouted back, "Zero!"

Eugene Antifa was waving his magic wand, and then the lights went out.

This video has been removed for violating YouTube's policy on harassment and bullying.
I guess it is ok with You Rube to harass and bully non-leftist/fascist demonstrators,but just peachy-keen for the fascist left to attack people oppossed to their communist police state,

Why didn't he jump up and down on him while he was down?
If something is worth doing,it's worth doing right.

Their sponsorship money will never run out because the leadership and the "Crew Chiefs" for the demonstrations are mostly Trust Fund children of uber wealty leftists who want a One World Government so they can control everything,including the amount THEY are taxed.
One was unmasked in the last year or so,and identified as being a son of Trust Fund children connected to a global bank.

That unconscious antifa is stiff as a board when they haul him off. Is that normal?

No. People who are knocked out are usually as limber as spaghetti.
Maybe he wasn't knocked out? Maybe he was just in shock that someone would dare to strike him causen his mama has always told him that he is "special"?

But THIS statement from one of the Prayer Patriots leaders is overlooked:

HA! Yeah, I'd agree. That was part of it at least.
Oh, I think he was also knocked out as well. His Antifa thug-mates were babying him ASAP.
One day the faces of these masked cowards are ALL going to be smashed, one by one. WITH NO LIBERAL COPS TO STAND DOWN AND PROTECT THEIR AZZES.

Interesting.
And HOW is it that these punks are allowed to post as "Antifa" on FB??

The one thing I have the most trouble understanding is why the counter-protesters don't just snatch the masks down,and have a designated photographer standing behind them to take face photos?
Smacking one of them in the face accomplishes nothing real. Putting their faces on posters to expose who they are and who they are connected to does.

I wish I could remember who he was related to,but I can't. I just remember it was a national figure with immense wealth,and he was singled out as one of the leaders that were issuing orders from the background.
I know,and care,almost less than nothing about FB,but what's to stop them? You can go on there and claim you are a choo-choo train if you want.
