When left-wing extremists attack, part five billion and one …
A peaceful pro-police rally in Oregon this Wednesday was hijacked by Black Lives Matter-affiliates extremists, some of whom couldn’t help but act out violently, as usual.
Video footage from the rally captured by videographer Andrew Duncomb, aka the “Black Rebel,” showed one of these extremists — a short, plump manchild — attacking a rallygoer who was proudly wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Rallygoers didn’t seem surprised by the antics.
“When we want to peacefully protest and say what we want to say, we always have BLM follow us,” rallygoer Shelby Walman said to local station KATU.
The attack happened in the Oregon city of Gresham, where hundreds of people reportedly gathered for a “Back the Blue” rally to show support for beleaguered law enforcement agents and support for President Donald Trump.
The event began “with a call for a ‘flag-waving’ in support of police Wednesday evening,” according to The Oregonian. But while over 100 pro-police rallygoers reportedly “answered the call,” so did BLM extremists.
“One side chanted ‘All lives matter’ and waved signs and flags in support of police and President Donald Trump. Counter-protesters yelled ‘Black lives matter!'” the paper reported.
According to local station KPTV, the BLM extremists also “cursed” at the police.

The flag seen above may have played a role in the evening’s rally.
“Organizers of the flag-waving event didn’t like the idea of the city of Gresham flying the Black Lives Matter flag at City Hall, but the organizer … not give that as a reason for the protest,” KATU reported.
The flag’s been flying from Gresham City Hall for several months, though local leaders are now considering removing it.
“On Wednesday night, the Gresham City Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the protest and counter-protest taking place, as well as the possibility of removing the flag, scheduled to stay up till the end of the month, early over safety concerns,” Newsweek confirmed.
In a statement, the council said only that the flag “will continue to be flown, per Council’s original direction, through August 31.”
Additional video footage from the event suggests that many of the altercations were caused by the extremists, not the peaceful pro-police protesters.

The events in Gresham come as full-fledged anti-cop riots by BLM extremists have overtaken several cities, including Minneapolis yet again, and the Wisconsin town of Kenosha.
The Kenosha riots were particularly devastating and led to the destruction of numerous businesses, including a 40-year family-owned furniture store.
“It’s all gone, we didn’t do nothing to nobody. I don’t think it’s justifiable for anyone to destroy anybody else’s property,” business owner Linda Carpenter said to reporters.
Her son agreed.
“It’s basically theft. Whoever did this stole from us,” he said.
Listen:
The anti-cop riots in Kenosha were spurred by the non-fatal shooting of an armed black criminal suspect who has a history of “domestic abuse,” “sex crime” and assaulting police.
Jacob Blake, the man shot by police in Kenosha, Wisc., has a history of assaulting police. He also has past charges for domestic abuse & a sex crime. There’s a warrent for his arrest. BLM rioters are currently destroying the city to avenge the shooting. https://t.co/BErLeJdPwj pic.twitter.com/JhHcbis5kf

The anti-cop riots that have erupted in Minneapolis meanwhile were provoked by a man who’d allegedly killed another human being turning the gun on himself and committing suicide.
