    As I understand, the dude was in the act of defending a trans woman when he got cold-cocked.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, I asked for citation of the major voter fraud via mail-in ballots that MARIS was implying (since he was alleging that it's completely responsible for Portland's elected officials). Not only didn't that show massive voter fraud, it wasn't even all mail-in ballots.

    Also, MARIS was talking about Oregon--that document claims exactly 1 case of absentee balloting fraud in Oregon.

    Sure, that's why I said I'm not necessarily against a curfew. My point was that he claimed that for the past 4 years he's been in favor of using fire hoses on all protestors and then said that the "10 PM curfew" mentioned in your post was sufficient to make the distinction between peaceful and violent protestors. Which it doesn't, especially when he's talking about the last 4 years, not just the recent Portland riots.

    MARIS ALWAYS gives me permission the expand on his offerings, silly. Go ahead and ask him if you don't believe me.

    That's what I read, but that sounds fishy. It doesn't sound like that's something that really happened though.

    Take it for what it's worth, but the dude who shot the (now viral/famous) video was on Tucker Carlson tonight and that's what he maintained. Ardently.

    I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it seems so random.

    It just smells like it's not the entire story, or the actual version.

    This has been explained so thoroughly that I don't see how any more explanation will do any good.
    My belief is that a good journalist is objective.

    You were not alone.
    When I was in the Army at Ft. Lewis, every Saturday night a bunch of us fresh back from Vietnam use to go to Vietnam protests to meet women We didn't really care that much about the protests one way or another.
    If women knew what men were thinking they'd never stop slapping our faces.

    Yeah, that's what I want. Time for a good journalist to do his/her work.

    there is probably more to the story...at least there is if you read the OLive 'details' nut way too much is unconfirmed. It sounds like a drunken street party out of control. Apparently, some said a pickup was trying to run over protestors; and some said the victim from this particular pickup was drunk....maybe after having a big fight with a girlfriend. The story is all over the place

    still, there's no justification for that kind of assault

    I just think the clowns that are left out there at this point (and attacking the Multnomah County headquarters building) are doing such a disservice to that reason for the protests in the first place. I fully understand these people don't really have anything to do with the BLM movement, but they're getting conflated with it and people will (if they aren't already) get tired of it because of this nonsense.
