Antifa militants brutally assault independent journalist in Portland
The Post Millennial ^ | September 9, 2020 | Libby Emmons

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.

>> I am astonished the no vigilantes have risen up and taken out these bastards.

The Khmer Noir (ABR, AntiFa / BLM / RevCom) have the battle space very well covered such that this would be difficult. At least in Portland, they seem to have the numbers and they have the mayor and DA. This matters.

I’d invite you to read the AAR here, as well as the comments:

This is a well funded, fairly well organized operation. We need Trump for 4 more years to take it down, else it’s going to get ugly.

Bet some very well trained snipers were on roofs during the DC Whitehouse convention speech. I’ve seen them with anti-aircraft backpacks on the White House roof even in Good Times for protection.

The so-called Free Press didn’t even care when President Obama was installing spyware on CBS News reporters’ computers and intimidating journalists and putting filmmakers in prison.

Ask to speak with the head of Communist As-F*** and demand that they share their black bloc security guards’ bodycam footage.

What, they aren’t required to record every word uttered and action they perform? How queer that they only demand it of the real cops.

"is a kill likely at 100 yards with a .22?"

On TV, maybe, but, in reality, you have to be close enough to light his cigarette, to be certain.

The .22 LR has enough force to punch thru one side of the cranial vault, and bounce around inside, at conversation range. It's only 1200 ft/sec.

The OTHER .22, the .223 Remington, will detonate a head at 300 yards, but it's moving at 2700 ft/sec.

If I remember correctly, Charles Hathcock took all of his targets with a 700 Remington chambered with 7.62x51 NATO rounds.

What you shooting and shot placement. I will say the .22 is under appreciated. It’s deadly to bigger game but sometimes it takes a while or more shots for bigger game to stay down. That’s why shot placement is key. Most states will not allow hunting of large game with .22. Good head shots can bring down big game/varments. Coyote or dear or fox or raccoons... 😎

Agreed. But .223 is hard to keep quiet. I don’t have much experience with suppression but wouldn’t expect it to be like movies with even high grade gear. I’m sure someone with better experience can say for sure.

Really wish the would pass a shooters hearing protection act and free up suppression access.

Time for some live ammo. This has been allowed to go on far too long, and thus has emboldened these goons and criminals.

I can picture a lone journalist walking freely and a sudden attack begins and a remote signal to a large gang of motorcycle “Club” members swooping in and not just beating them, but actually breaking both legs and both arms of each of them, and riding off yelling “Hi Ho Dirtbags” . Protest completely off for them for a long time.

I believe that was also a scene in one of the Purge movies... I think. It sure sounds familiar.

It’s Portland, though. They’re basically indigo there they’re so blue. I’m not certain that they’re capable of fighting back and winning due to a lack of morale and numbers.

I suggest that Hansen get a newer type of camera, the 357 Kodak Instant Death model.

.

I’m waiting for the tolerance for these leftist thugs to end. Society cant operate with such being allowed such criminal action.

I’m surprised they haven’t yet been shot at and killed en-masse by people sick of their thuggery or moreso by those being their direct victims.

The politician who are allowing these crimes need to be charged with criminal negligence.

Always wondered why this group is universally referred to as ‘antifa’ as though they are fighting the good fight against Nazis who no longer exist as a significant group. They seem to be Neo-Marxists like what was experienced in 1920s Munich then stamped out leading to WW2 . Not good bedfellows those Commies As we saw in the Cold War! That would have been a tough time for our millennials phobia of micro aggressions.

“They seem to be Neo-Marxists like what was experienced in 1920s Munich then stamped out leading to WW2.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifaschistische_Aktion

Here is a wiki link to the communist group prior to WWII. The symbol of the waving flag is identical to the current Antifa group except for the colors.

Several years ago at the protests the BLM and Antifa would have professional posters and banners made. All of them with a small website down in the corner “revcom”.

Revolutionary Communist Party - which has Soros, The Tides Foundation, etc. as backers. I haven’t seen any of those posters lately. Bad for business for all of the various promoters I guess. To clarify - they are still backing them - just not advertising it.

Thanks for the link. Maybe someone more informed on the matter than myself can provide details of the specific background ethnically, religiously, culturally on the folks who are behind;

-Making it possible for an open season to loot then burn businesses and brutalize bystanders trying to simply make it through another day

-Unions: Education & Labor

-Civil Rights movement

-Communism

Who are the actual people behind these seismic manipulative changes in our culture over generations? Any history would be great as it’s complicated beyond Soros and the Left. I’m talking about the players who are never mentioned...even if not a comfortable subject.
