A man appeared to have been punched and kicked unconscious by demonstrators just blocks away from a peaceful protest in Portland, as unrest continued in Oregon’s biggest city.

Multiple videos posted online apparently showed the man sitting in the street next to a truck he had been driving, which had crashed and come to a stop on a sidewalk on Sunday night, news outlets reported.

People were crowded around the man and he appeared to have been punched at least once and later kicked in the head – knocking him flat.

The man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, Portland police Sgt Kevin Allen told the Oregonian/Oregon Live. The truck was towed. It was unclear what exactly led up to the crash and the confrontation.

Authorities said people threw “softball size” rocks, glass bottles and other objects at officers. Two police officers were treated at the hospital after being hit by rocks. Eleven people were arrested.

When feet and inches count peaceful protests are just blocks away.

Trucks will stop going to Portland.

Then they will starve.

Problem solved.

What is surprising....as much bad-boy behavior and nutty stuff as they’ve had in Portland, and no retaliation on the Antifa ‘kids’. In Philly or Boston....they would have been dealt with on the first weekend.

We need snipers on the roofs. When a rioter throws a deadly object, commits arson or assault, the snipers should shoot the perp.

The crimes will end quick once a few thugs are shot.

What we need are some Korean store owners on rooftops. They take care of business.

There are no peaceful protests. They are all guilty of enabling. Just like a bank robbery where someone is killed, all participants in the crime are responsible.

Peaceful. Except for the man beaten unconscious. And the rocks hurled at police. And the lasers aimed at police eyes. And the burning. Yeah, other than that, "peaceful".

The media is basically the propaganda arm of Antifa.

Do like the Israelis do: just knee-cap, or de-gonad, em with a suppressed .22LR. It gives them something to remember every day for the rest of their miserable lives.

If they are jumping on your truck and trying to break out your windows, its not going to get better if you stop. Keep rolling.

Peaceful (sic) protests.

Why even mention this nonsense?

Exactly. Defend yourself from the BLM mob and risk your freedom or a financially ruining fight for your freedom. Oh, and right or wrong, you've lost your job. Your employer doesn't want to deal with the hassle of having an angry mob show up at his place of business every day.

That's the complication with all this. Antifa has nothing to lose. A bunch of 37-year old children, they have no families to support, no mortgages to pay. If they have jobs, it's driving for DoorDash or making pizzas and they don't get fired for being woke.

I have a wife and four children. If I run over a "peaceful protestor", I lose everything. Even if I stay out of prison, I've lost my job, drained my savings, my cars have been repossesed, and my home is in foreclosure. Nobody will hire me because every time they google my name, I'm the "racist" who drove through a BLM protest.
