H-m-m-m.  I didn't get the video first pass, then again, I didn't get the context for the video this time either.  I seems bad.  I assume Mr. Gray Car is an innocent in this, but the action picks up "... in progress", as they say.  If there is something more to this we're not seeing, then this is part and parcel of assholery all around.

FWIW, I'm not a fan of the current SJW mindset -- regardless of left or right.

This is pretty typical of Antifa and the Portland city government is willing to put up with it.  Here is example of them in Portland going after an Antifa supporter for carrying an American flag.





This is what we have come to expect from the left these days.

Stupid is stupid, regardless the source.  The Antifa, as they fashion themselves, are a disorganized rabble: peaceful in many cases, violent in others.  In no case is actual violence rational, unless it's pure self defense. In this case, the "offense" was pretty benign, and the response was pretty benign as well. If you want to complain about violent protest, this isn't it. I have no idea what the guy was trying to grab, and less idea why he felt the need to cover up once he was pulled down. No one punched or kicked anyone. In a court of law, it would rate simple assault, and garner a fine.

For reference, grab some readily available video of the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago -- 1968.
