Reports out of Portland this past weekend indicate that numerous clashes occurred between conservative leaning demonstrators and ANTIFA. And while some may claim that the “right” is violent, the following video shows that ANTIFA rioters were the ones initiating attacks on protesters exercising their First Amendment rights.
When one demonstrator was pushed to the ground and subsequently attacked by multiple assailants, a masked individual who appears to be wearing body armor and protection around his arms steps in to help.
In short: It was a smack down of epic proportions:

(7) White Sleeves actually grabbed the BATON in midair.
Unless his palms are armored, he has an incredibly high tolerance for pain. pic.twitter.com/ft7fjsJqfo

(8) And now I can see that he actually PULLED Antifa into the punch. pic.twitter.com/lw4C67GWw0

(9) After the punch, White Sleeves keeps swinging his arm all the way to the end of the arc. His arm cross his own chest.

(13) He instantly sees that she’s not a danger, so he looks back and see the police baton.
When he spies the weapon, his body snaps into a fighting stance. pic.twitter.com/C2uSbIs2XY

(14) I’ve never seen anyone react that way.
The movement was involuntary. It’s obvious that he has YEARS of training.
From the fighting stance, he leans forward to get the baton. pic.twitter.com/pHQrvf37Gm

(15) When he leans over, we see that he’s wearing Level Three or Four ballistic armor.

(16) Cigarette Girl clumsily kicks him, but he doesn’t do anything except say, “Get back” calmly. pic.twitter.com/gBvJzhSKqt

(17) The guy who used the baton is dragged away.
His thinking-machine will never be the same.

(18) You can see his forlorn sunglasses in the lower left. pic.twitter.com/KiUzVkkRN4

(19) I don’t buy that White Sleeves is just a Proud Boy who went to Portland to support his friends.
You don’t see knockouts like that even in Mixed Martial Arts contests.
Also, he grabbed a swinging police baton out of the air.
