On May 28, 2021, I ran for my life through the streets of downtown Portland, Ore.

Antifa had discovered me working undercover after one of their members, John Hacker, exposed me to the mob.

I screamed for help as I fled, but drivers and pedestrians looked away. The businesses were all shuttered, remnants of the ongoing destruction from the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

They caught me. Antifa tackled me to the ground, tearing my knee tendon in the process as I slid across the pavement. They punched me over and over and tried to choke me out. I barely managed to stumble into @theNinesHotel, begging the staff to call 911. Instead, they tried to force me back outside and told me to wear a Covid mask. I dropped to the floor, refusing to move, pleading for them to call the police. They refused.

Outside, Antifa gathered. One of their ringleaders, Elizabeth Richter — the blonde woman — began rallying the crowd. She called on others on a livestream to come finish me off. She went inside the hotel and threatened me. Antifa also tried breaking their way into the hotel.

I escaped only by jumping into an elevator with a hotel guest. After that, I was taken by ambulance to the hospital with a police guard. I was soaked in my blood. On social media, Antifa immediately began trying to track which hospital I was in, hoping to finish the job.

As soon as I was discharged, I had to flee Portland. I moved between safe houses in different states. Antifa’s hunt for me was far from over.

@PortlandPolice closed the case a few weeks afterward, saying they couldn’t identify anyone. Nobody was ever arrested, just like in 2019 when I was beaten to the point that my brain bled.

That is a real good reason to be armed at all times. I won’t say I’m not afraid to die, but I daresay I’m more at peace with it than somebody who believes there is no God.

ANTIFA is just a modern day brown shirt.

I am happy to say that won’t happen here. Too many concerned people who carry. You don’t run from them, you open fire.

Good heavens! Poor Andy has really had a time of it.

I hope all of the pAntiefa thugs are caught and tried.

There is some good information here. Some jerk in pAntyfa was arrested. Among his many offenses, he was letting these animals use his nearby apartment for bathroom breaks and such.

Amazing that he keeps going. He’s a hero like Charlie Kirk.

“... and boy are they organized!”

That’s where the left runs circles around us. That and their commitment to their sick causes.

Mr. Ngo was my first thought when Antifa was designated a terrorist organization. He knows better than anyone.

They are paid.

It is their job.

Sometimes a second job.

Break things and let out id impulses and get paid

That is essential Alinsky
