Oregon man pulls gun on Antifa mob who trashed cars to stop ‘Freedom Rally’
Dramatic video shows the moment a man pulls a gun on Antifa protesters as they clashed with demonstrators taking part in a “Freedom Rally” near the Oregon state Capitol on Sunday.
The older man — wearing an American flag sweatshirt — was filmed in Salem initially getting out of his pickup truck to survey the damage allegedly caused by the Antifa mob.
He initially appeared calm as the counter-protesters dressed all in black surrounded and mocked him, with some threateningly aiming canisters at him throughout the confrontation.
But the squabble took an ugly turn after he was either sprayed in the face or struck with an object — prompting him to flinch and draw his weapon on the crowd.
“Get away from me!” he shouted, yanking a handgun from his waistband and cocking it as he aimed it toward the leftist activists.
As the mob screamed about his loaded gun, an armed officer quickly approached and forced the driver to the ground, with a large force of riot police quickly swarming the scene.

He did NOT get arrested...THREE antifa DID get arrested...this is NOT Portland.
This is why this doesn’t happen in Kentucky. We’re much more free to defend ourselves.
Cue the bootlickers who defend the police no matter what.
So sick of cops in this country.
This is the goal. Provoke people, force the Antifa victimes to eat the consequences. I just wish these Antifas would get ventilated in the process. Maybe they'd think twice about trying it next time. I also wish the police, who are on hand, would notice this behavior and give the Antifas a wooden shampoo.

Note: I base the above on what the article actually said. If that is not what really happened, never mind.
I didn’t see his gun, either.
If the article is correct, that at least is something
Just a 30 round mag dump from a hot civil war.
Antifa called in the police. Ain’t that some kind of bullsheet?
bingo
The cop protected the AntiFa scum?
Kill a commie for mommy was wisdom literature.
Daily Mail has pics of him w/gun
“...Marion Counter Sheriff’s deputies and Oregon State Troopers arrest a driver who pulled a handgun on protesters after they broke his trucks lights...”
Evidently he was arrested...
Read the whole article, the man with the American Flag sweatshirt was not arrested. Someone who was pointing a laser at him was. The arrested person was probably trying to blind the older gentleman.
Do a little research
You need to read the story (and the pictures)
Read the caption under a photo near the end of the story...He WAS arrested...
