Sanders supporter beat by ANTIFA for "facist symbol"
An American flag
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/08/21/ber...shows.html

Quote:A registered Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter protesting a right-wing rally in Oregon earlier this month says he was viciously beaten by militant members of his own movement because he possessed a "fascist symbol" -- an American flag.

Quote:He said two people dressed in black and covering their faces approached him and demanded he give them the “fascist symbol” he was carrying. When he refused, the Antifa duo tried to rip the flag from his hands.

Another masked counter-protester then approached Welch and began striking him from behind with an unidentified weapon concealed in black fabric.

Welch, 38, was struck on the back of the head and collapsed to the ground.

Quote:Welch filed a police report and Sgt. Chris Burley, a Portland police spokesman, confirmed to The Oregonian/Oregon Live that authorities are investigating the incident.

Welch said he felt conflicted and disappointed because he had gone to the rally to show “a liberal, free Portland – or any major city, really – is much more American and much more numerous and strong than any of these interloping groups.”

“It strikes me as the worst sort of political theater,” Welch said of what happened to him. “It’s kind of like you’re playing into your opponent’s hand when you do that sort of thing. That’s not what I was there for.”

Quote:At least three people were hospitalized after clashes between right-wing demonstrators and Antifa protesters. Anger after the fact was largely directed at Portland police, who used “less-lethal” riot-control weapons.

I laugh at the Lefts stupidity. I guess Bernie didn't tell the guy that he was supposed to carry a Star and Sickle to the rally. Better luck next time and I hear they're selling those flags in California...oh, wait, that's the Mexican flags...sorry.

Just like most libs these days, those Antifa thugs hate America. The flag just triggered that hate. The lib that got beat up, will still support them in the end.

Wait, now the libs want more force? I'm confused.
