Joseph Hall said he was simply trying to go back home after his workday in Portland. However, he was soon involved in an armed standoff with militant leftists who had closed off roads as part of their protests against police brutality. Hall, a 53-year-old handyman, ended up in the hospital with several broken bones and other serious injuries after the black-clad militants severely beat him up.
While driving home in his red pickup truck, a moped allegedly cut him off. Then a man with a handheld radio instructed Hall to stop his truck. Hall claims that another vehicle blocked his path, "and all of a sudden I have three or four people around me." Some members of the group dressed in all black were armed, and pointed their rifles at Hall.
Hall told The Oregonian how the situation escalated quickly:
Hall said he grabbed hold of a non-lethal handgun that can shoot hard pellets to try to get the people to clear the way and hadn't realized there was a march until people circled his truck. He said he heard a woman outside on a megaphone yelling at the crowd to let him go, but the people continued to block his truck and call him a "Nazi."

The problem may be that Oregon criminal law is not up to the task.
I am in. We need to stop this excrement. There are far too few (virtually no) serious consequences for these terrorists. When they start ending up in hospitals and morgues in numbers maybe playing revolutionary and being an a**-hat won’t be quite so much fun.
Idiots all around.
Bottom line though, cops should arrest the kids playing revolution.
It’s corruption that they aren’t.
These children in adult bodies are ludicrous. They live in paradise and play make believe.
18 U.S. Code § 2331

We know the law...The question is who is going to enforce it????
Good point. Nothing like a visual record. Since they steal everything, probably best to live stream the video to a secure Cloud location.
Yes. Auto back up is necessary. And it’s easy. Every picture and video I take with my cell phone is automatically backed up to Google and Amazon accounts.
Franklin Graham Wanted to Honor Seattle Police. They Spat in His Face.
In the aftermath of a crime, the Oregon Crime Victims’ Compensation Program works to ease the financial burden suffered by hundreds of Oregonians each year. Benefits for victims and their families include:
mental health counseling expenses
medical and hospital expenses
eyeglasses, hearing aids, dentures and other medically necessary devices and expenses
rehabilitation expenses
loss of earnings
funeral expenses
loss of financial support to dependents of homicide victims
grief counseling expenses for relatives of homicide victims
counseling expenses for children who witness domestic violence
counseling expenses for family members of Oregonian victims of international terrorism
It doesn’t seem to cover property damage.
Oh they’re dumb, addicted to power in numbers. Get them solo, they’re just frightened punks.
And here is why most everyone hates cops on both sides of the political spctrum. Especially in liberal dumps like Portland. The cops are ordered to assist antifa BLM terrorists. So they do. AND in Portland the cops fully support the cause. When patriots stand up to antifa BLM terrorists the cops abuse the patriots defending themselves and will arrest them at the behest of antifa BLM terrorists. I have no sympathy or respect for the cops defending the marxist trash taking over their cities. NONE.
We'll whip up a cloud of trouble or two!
Sure, that'll shake him up.
“I have no sympathy or respect for the cops defending the marxist trash taking over their cities. NONE.”
Ditto that!!!

Criminal law enforcement certainly is not up to the task. And it seems the most common advise we can give folks in this forum is “move out of the blue areas”. We are told by our peers that any attempt to defend ones self will land you in jail if attacked by the enemy. And very little instruction is given on how one should respond with confronting such threats, if any at all.
Reality Check: Most people can’t just get up and move to a more desired location at the drop of a hat - especially with inflation these days.
What we think *should* happen or what we would do changes once a person is confronted in this situation.
A primary concern will be when the person behind the wheel is not the only passenger. Spouses and even children may be in jeopardy during these events. Also, it has become clear that the enemy has been embolden; increasingly aggressive, and has displayed and carried out the ability to use force at their own discretion. The fatal flaw from our view is the expectation of law and order to protect the innocent.
It is expected that in that given moment, the first emotion is shock, followed by fear. Few of us are trained and/or have instinct to rush toward the danger, or fight through the ambush. Unfortunately, such counteractions must now be considered, and pondered upon during our travels. And for the sake of others that will follow, if/when countermeasures are taken, we cannot concern ourselves with what follows. To put it bluntly: “I felt my life was in danger, and took immediate action for the sake of my own survival” has to be the order of the day.
We may not achieve our desired outcome upon adjudication, but such actions may serve as a deterrent against the next would-be assailants. After all, what choice do we have?
Mark my word: this flash point will happen someday, at which point the powers-that-be, having their bloody shirt(s) to wave around as propaganda, will justify themselves with a moral imperative to pre-emptively unless their force upon us; if they haven’t already.
And for those reading this, please do not think that the CWII begins at that point. In fact, the first step in turning the tables against this enemy is to fully understand and accept that when it comes to that Second Civil War...
... you’re already in it.
Carry on.

“Be especially suspicious of the ones joining up with you in the woods with camo t shirts and belts paired with pressed black suit pants and shiny black leather shoes.”
It’s the Brylcreem that’s the tip-off.
Funny
I’ll watch for that.
Antifa are the equivalent of school bullies. They are also being made into legends. The one leading via megaphone was a typical Antifa Karen leading soyboys. They can easily be defeated on the streets and where they live and organize on the internet and their Antifa cells. They thrive in safe zones and target rich environments like terrorists do. Unfortunately, there simply is no wherewithal from any side especially on the right. The right can only get angry. Our side has the ability to evaporate these scum but the justice system supports Antifa/BLM cabal.
Don’t leave your truck.
You are armored. Don’t leave it.
You are in a deadly weapon. If necessary, use it.
This is very short-sighted. If we didn't have police, who would be there to remove you from a store or park for not wearing a mask? Who would arrest your pastor for holding church services?
