Mixed martial arts pioneer Tara LaRosa took down and restrained an angry protester, who bit her on the chest, at a flag waiving gathering in North Portland on Sunday.
LaRosa was part of a group of demonstrators waiving flags in honor of Veterans Day on an Interstate 84 overpass. A woman that took umbrage with the group got into an argument with one of LaRosa's counterparts, which then escalated into a physical altercation, according to a report by The Oregonian and which the Twitter videos below show.
As the incident escalated, LaRosa apparently took the confrontational woman to the ground and controlled her. In the midst of the scuffle, the woman apparently bit LaRosa through her sweatshirt, shirt and bra, leaving bite marks on her chest.
LaRosa remained on top of the woman and controlled her until she stopped fighting back, allowing her to get up and sit against the overpass fence. The woman continued to yell at LaRosa and her group, which was wearing the insignia representing the Proud Boys, a controversial group has been associated with the alt-right movement and been involved in violent clashes with other protesters.
Though there were antagonistic comments from the woman that LaRosa took the ground and from some of the persons wearing Proud Boys clothing, there is video of the incident showing LaRosa restraining the woman until she stopped fighting back.
LaRosa can also be heard telling members of her group to stop making comments and putting the middle finger in the woman's face while she was on her back, in addition to telling the woman to "relax" and "stop, please calm down."

Commie professor was enraged at people waiving U.S. Flags for Veterans day. This commie professor decided to attack physically. After all the U.S. flag to her is like a cross or light to Dracula.
I would be willing to bet she is an Antifa terrorists. Just saying...
Commie Professor..no wonder our nation’s youth think that Communism is awesome..look at the garbage they are being taught by
That was great
It was heart warming to see the whiney commie cry about not being able to breathe, (she was lying).
But it was so unsatisfying... I wanted to see the commie get her butt seriously and violently kicked.
Good times out at the lake, hell yeah.
Exactly!
Tara, better get a rabies shot. And God Bless You for your brave action.
Yes tt was good to see antagonistic commie professor that physically attacked another woman waving U.S. flags on Veterans day get taken down.
Sucks to be her. Wonder how her university is going to explain the biting/assaulting stuff?
“Here is the video of it”
It did not show this:
Mixed martial arts pioneer Tara LaRosa took down and restrained an angry protester, who bit her on the chest, at a flag waiving gathering in North Portland on Sunday.
Of course she could breath. When one guy says you are going to go to jail for felony assault. She quickly lies and oh i didn’t do it (even though they have her on video attacking) . I was thinking wait a minute I thought you could not breath?
Then this looney professor claims she is half naked. No one took her clothes off.
This was right before everything went down.
Me too......what a downer.
I hate these things man.. someone thrust a flag very close to her face, I could see how this woman might have seen that as an attack, and then retaliated. I wish liberals would just leave us alone...
Yeah, that is not much of an “attack”.
These people are looking to provoke a response, and they get it. They aren’t as bad as Antifa, but that should not be the standard.
“I’m a professor!”
Heh! Okay, professor snowflake asshat.
OUTSTANDING !
Bravo, Tara, for standing up for what’s right and for taking such bold action!
I agree. I'm very supportive of the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer. I despise antifa and commies in general. From the limited evidence available regarding this incident it appears that the folks on the right initiated the violence by jabbing a small flag very close to the commie woman's face. That's wrong and if you do that to someone and they smack you, you have no complaint.
