Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson will soon face criminal charges related to a May 1 riot in front of a Portland cidery, his lawyer says.
Gibson led a group of right-wing brawlers to a bar called Cider Riot on May 1, accompanied by Patriot Prayer supporters, at least one former Proud Boy, and people affiliated with a newer group called Portland's Liberation.
At least five men now face criminal charges related to the May 1 riot. Police arrested Matthew "Deme" Cooper and Russell Schultz on felony riot charges Aug. 15. Police allege the men were involved in a violent altercation outside Cider Riot on May 1, after the far-right extremists attacked a group of antifascists sitting on the pub's outdoor patio.
Gibson's lawyer, James Buchal, who also chairs the Multnomah County Republican Party, says prosecutors mistakenly posted details about a search warrant for the Patriot Prayer leader's arrest Thursday morning. Buchal says the pending criminal charges are "part and parcel of the dishonest campaign by Portland leaders to blame out-of-town demonstrators for violence that began and persists because Antifa wants to shut down any right-wing demonstrations in Portland."
Buchal says Gibson faces a charge for felony riot. He describes the charges as unfounded.
"There are multiple videos of the events at Cider Riot, and not one of them shows Mr. Gibson engaging in violent conduct," Buchal said in a statement.

When are they going to arrest that gay journalist for beating the hell outta those ANTIFA guys fists with his face???
“Police allege the men were involved in a violent altercation outside Cider Riot on May 1, after the far-right extremists attacked a group of antifascists sitting on the pub’s outdoor patio.”
No where does it say what the antifascists rioters were saying or planning while they were allegedly sitting on the patio of Cider Riot.
The could have been planning a terrorist attack or plotting to hurt or kill Mr. Gibson.
It’s self-defense.
A Multnomah County jury will not be fooled by the Anitfa Rioters’ shenanigans.
The good news is, if it goes to court, there’s plenty of video.
My gut instincts say these are false charges.
Of course, pantyfa can riot all they want, with camera footage as evidence, and nothing happens to them 99% of the time. Unequal application of the law?
Portland needs to burn.
There is an American vs Antifa re-match scheduled there for the 17.
Which is tomorrow.

I noticed that nowhere does our precious little snowflake “Katie,” our darling little Katie, allow any feedback on her reporting.
Clearly, there is video that will be presented at trial that will clear Mr. Gibson and show that he was the innocent victim.
From there, Multnomah County prosecutors can indict the Antifa rioters from Cider Riot.
No need to, just wait until the big one hits
If it gets that far. The indictment was handed down without benefit of a grand jury, I believe. A judge may find that objectionable.
Fair and balanced./s {{{spit}}}
How many WTO rioters have they ever prosecuted?
Antifa has considered ALL police officers to be “fascists” since at least the early 2000s.
Fredo Cuomostain supports their violence against all “fascists”. Chris Cuomo supports attacks police. AF is anti-cop. And here they are advocating for impersonating an officer in public...
Communist, anti-American domestic enemies;
By any means necessary.

If he gets convicted, Trump should fete him at the White House and fund raise a million or so for him.
Can you e-mail the editor? If I were a hacker, I’d be VERY busy right now.
Joey Gibson turns himself into Portland Jail.
