Last night, Antifa black bloc militants assaulted a journalist in Portland, Ore. Tayler Hansen reported that he was beaten by four people wearing Antifa Black Bloc.
Hansen was reporting undercover when he was spotted and recognized. He left the area to change his appearance.
He reports that it was after this that he attempted to leave the area without incident. Only a few blocks away, however, four individuals in Black Bloc were waiting for him.
Hansen states that they beat him, punched him, kicked him, and left him bloody. They yelled at him to "stay out of Portland b*tch!"
These people who commit assaults on the free press are claiming to be peaceful protestors.
Hansen is an independent journalist and founder of #BabyLivesMatter.
It was earlier in the night that Hansen was covering the protests in riots that have been raging more than 100 nights in Portland. Hansen reported that Antifa militants marched on the transit police station.
Hansen reported that Antifa tried to break his camera, before later moving on to beating him physically.
The Post Millennial has reached out to Tayler Hansen for comment.
Violence is escalating in Portland. Soon, the good guys are going to take the gloves off. Since the Governor, Mayor and LEO’s will not defend the people, it will be up to the people.
And then, imagine just how fast the Gov/Mayor will step in to stop the “right wing extremists”.
seem to remember reading some scenario with pick up trucks, prone shooters in the back, pull up on a riot, drop the tailgate unleash hell and speed off. Kind of surprised this hasnt happened yet.
Had my mind on buying a .308 lever action rifle..and I found one and bot it....
I've taken a 600 yd shot on a yote...but never on a deer.
Prolly the longest gun shot I had on a buck was 200 yds...And I've killed some good ones.
I'd be hard put to shoot something at a mile...
Most of the deer shots are under 250 yards here and 80% under 150. Dont like trying long on then field rats. Could try but target certainty is important. Safety first.
Where are you?
is a kill likely at 100 yards with a .22?
In the dark, in an urban environment, no less. More of a DC sniper scenario.
Since there’s no police in Portland, it would have been okay for this reporter to shoot every attacker in the head. Then walk away and eat an ice cream cone.
Depends on shot placement. Wouldnt likely be a humane kill.
Rumors that fires are being started by the commies. If a bunch of loggers descend on Portland, all bets are off.
The pantifa defense of these kinds of attacks is that the offenders are agents provocateur. They’re actually Proud Boys or Boogaloo in costume trying to make klantifa look bad and discredit “the movement.”
If you have long range skills I dont think the silencer is that important. Shoot, then move.
Most of them left him alone, though.
And they only attacked him for a short while.
So he was mostly unharmed and had a mostly peaceul experience.
You probably know more than me, but I was imagining not moving and just taking out target after target in a crowd of rioters from a concealed location far away. If they never hear the shot, people would just start dropping, but no one would know why for awhile, giving them time to take out more before the crowd scattered.
I have heard that good snipers have made kill shots at more than 2 miles.
That poster has no idea....
I just watch more military documentaries. I have titanium screws in feet because a cow stepped on my foot in high school. That disqualified me from any military service.

CNN declared it a mostly peaceful beating.
Vigilantes tried to clean up Portland but have been charged with major crimes while BLM walks free.
