The driver kicked unconscious during a mob attack in Portland says he has previously marched in support of Black Lives Matter — and believes he was only targeted because he is white.
“I wasn’t trying to do anything but get a drink,” Adam Haner told KATU of the vicious attack that started outside a 7-Eleven and left him with head wounds, three broken ribs and two black eyes.
“I wasn’t the enemy, I’ll tell you that. I was just the guy standing there, and I was white, evidently,” he said of his brutal attack by BLM protesters.
While he was not part of the ongoing protests in Portland, Haner told KPTV that he had previously marched in BLM protests.
“I was for that. I’ve had cops beat me up before. I was for their cause,” he said.
The one-time firefighter — who is refusing to watch the viral video of his attack — said his natural instincts kicked in when he saw a trans woman whom he did not know getting robbed and beaten.
“I just seen something going on there, and I tried to get in the middle of it — and it just directed the fire towards me,” he told the station. “Their whole chaos came right at me.”
He insisted that he said nothing offensive — but both he and his girlfriend, Tammie Martin, were immediately set upon by the mob, who started calling them white supremacists for no reason.
“All I remember saying very vividly was, ‘This isn’t your enemy — this isn’t who we’re trying to fight,'” he insisted.
Martin — who was also attacked in the initial confrontation — said the videos prove Haner was trying to get out safely without hurting anyone.

What a fool.
Shocked...
Ya think? Does he plan to take the blame because he’s white?
“While he was not part of the ongoing protests in Portland, Haner told KPTV that he had previously marched in BLM protests.”
...Now I’m startin to like the guy who kicked him in the head.
“I was for their cause”
Was? What changed his mind?
firefighter training apparently kicked in during the chaos
I am sure it will escape the MSM to talk about this much at all, let alone mention that it was a former BLM supporter and a trans person who got attacked... and I am sure that the left wing websites. They will definitely make sure to stomp down on details like that.
The riots are about anarchy, marxism, and eventual fascism, fueled by domestic and foreign benefactors who hate the United States. This has nothing to do with traditional democrat pet causes. This is the real deal. Bigger than party platforms.
Honestly, WE will be taking the blame. They riled up people with Michelle O's chip on her shoulder self pity about blacks targeted every day for murder due to their skin color.
We will suffer for it.
They think they know the code words that allow them to do anything they want and get away it -- "I thought he was a white supremacist". It's magic.
He found out the hard way they will try to make all of us kneel if they ever get their way.
My first thought after a shock ran through my mid section hearing that “splat”” sound of the black’s shoe hitting the victim’s head in the first video, was “Wasn’t there somewhere else to go other than a Portland BLM riot war zone?” Another 7-Eleven?
Besides, keesee said he was “just fighting the guy”.
Not a lot of us can say that.
And I thought, while foolhardy, noble. I couldn't criticize him for that. He had no idea she was a "trans" woman (is that a guy dressed like a woman or a woman trying to dress like a man?)
But then I saw THIS:
"...Haner told KPTV that he had previously marched in BLM protests. “I was for that. I’ve had cops beat me up before. I was for their cause,” he said..."
Okay. Sorry you got beat up, but you DID ask for it by supporting these scum. Perhaps you learned they are racist, which you were too dim to notice before while wrapping yourself in your virtue signalling blanket.
I really have a hard time working up sympathy after reading he was all for these protests and even attended them.
Then the only recourse is to make them suffer right back
So true. We have to convince some misled "undecideds" to vote for Trump. Or it will be physical despite our votes.
A person should never kneel before any idol--only for God.
Amen
I guess he thought because he marched with them, they’d kill him last.
He’s a democrat idiot!
