As the videos from last weekend’s protest in Portland have gone viral, namely due to the dereliction of duty on the part of the Portland police allowing the violent leftist mob to take over the city, one particular video has caught the attention of police and Multnomah County district attorney Rod Underhill.
The video in question shows a man in a silver car getting caught up in the protest. Apparently fearing for his safety, the man starts to drive through the protest. One genius decides he’s going to jump in front of the car and try to stop it, as other members of the mob converge on the car, shouting obscenities at the driver and beating on his car. The driver eventually made it through, but stopped at the red light up the block. There, the protesters chased him down, smashed a window out in his car, and started threatening him. Now police are encouraging the protesters to come forward as “victims” so they can charge the driver of the car with crimes. The police refer to the violent thugs as “pedestrians.”
If the Police are not doing their job by allowing the protestors to rule the streets, then why pay them?
Things the driver’s lawyer needs to say:
The big guy at the intersection was threatening to beat my client.
My client feared that he might be beaten or killed if he went in the direction the big guy, who was threatening to beat him, told him to go, so he went straight instead.
When the other guy stepped in front of my client’s car, to stop him, he thought the big guy at the intersection, who was threatening to beat him, was going to catch up with him, so he had to continue, because he feared he would be beaten or killed.
Thanks Arthur Wildfire! March.
I know one cheerful leftist who just moved to Bend Oregon because Portland has become too leftist fascist for her.
