and they robbed him to top it off.

Joe Hall, a Portland man, stood up to protestors on Thursday, and wound up with severe injuries for his trouble. He is now recovering in hospital and has spoken with the press.

Hall took an interview with local media from his bed at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in North Portland, where he commented, "I stood my ground and I would do it all over again."

Hall was working as a handyman (his profession) and was driving in his truck, when a crowd stopped him on N. Alberta Avenue.

"All of a sudden these agitators come out, screaming, pounding on my truck," said Hall during the interview, saying that he thought he hit something and got out of the truck to verify what happened:

"By this time I've got five people surrounding my vehicle, AR-15s, AK-47s. I pulled my .38 out of my right pocket and pointed it at the ground and told them if a weapon points at me again, I will shoot to eliminate the threat."

At that point, Hall was tacked from behind by someone.
"It looked like he was face down and then people were kneeling on top of him," said a person who observed the incident.

During the rest of the interview, Hall questioned why police didn't get involved, and also mentioned he is pushing for the people involved to be charged with bias crimes.

Hall says that he is finished with Portland, and will leave as soon as he has recovered.

"I'm done, I'm done working in Portland. I'm shutting my business down and I'm probably not going to be coming back."

Portland continues to see frequent violent riots, and the situation, despite going on for over a year now, shows no signs of getting better any time soon, unfortunately.

Now that the fraud organization is officially a registered entity, why exactly is no one suing them?

Raise your hand if you are surprised that BLM would do something like this.

If you’re a decent person still living in Portland or Seattle, I no sympathy for you. It’s obvious what is going on and it’s not going to get better.

I saw the video. He was pointing the gun at everyone and threatening them.

When he starts to drive off someone hits the side of his truck with a drum. He storms out of the vehicle towards the back of the vehicle with his gun. When he takes a shooter's stance (legs spread, two hands on gun outstretched) at someone is when he is tackled.

It was mostly peaceful. That was just a single, isolated incident.

He had "accidentally" driven into the March and swerved towards some people. He claimed he was trying to avoid a moped. There was a brief confrontation where he pointed his gun at people and gave them "5 seconds" to lower their guns and get out of the way. That ended and he started driving away but stopped 30 feet later and jumped out of the truck.

Defend what? I'm just pointing out that his story is BS. Everyone in Portland seems to have a screw loose, this guy included. He saw a crowd with rifles and thought it would be a great idea to pull out his gun and join the party. He claimed he was following his marine training.

That’s just an absurd position to take. There are plenty of good people up there without the means to just get up and leave.

True. Those same people that are stuck need to take every precaution and prepare for when their time comes with confronting these lunatics.

He should have pulled the trigger, I would have.

Start killing some of these "people" and they will think more about what they are doing, Lives matter, but we need to remove some of them from the planet.

Sounds fair to me.

Antifa is only an idea. Well, not even an idea anymore according to the new DOJ. Must be a lone wolf incident. Please move along, nothing to see here.
