A liberal activist who says he was protesting right-wing groups marching in Portland says he was beaten bloody by members of Antifa angry at him for holding an American flag.

He deserved it and I’m glad that the beat down came from his own side.
Imagine what the police would have done thirty years ago if a large group of armed ,masked thugs assaulted demonstrators who had a valid permit to assemble. These Antifa thugs are being protected by the leftist politicians who now control the police in urban cesspools. A good project would be to unmask them a publicly list their names, occupations and records in a readily obtainable data base.

Sometimes you get your red pill moment with a smack upside the head.
His new MAGA hat that he will be ordering will cover up that bruise nicely.
That’s right. We’re not far from the day when the American flag will become the new Confederate flag.
Mr. welch, nobody gives two shakes about you or your noggin.
Just think what they would have done in chiraq in ‘68 and nobody had a mask. Oh, that was before the parties switched sides and the r’s became the bad guys and the d’s became the good guys. Right? LOL!
