These pictures and video come from the August 4, 2018 confrontation between anarchist "Antifa" militants and the attendees of the pro-Trump "Patriot Prayer" rally in Portland, OR. Source: @PDX Mike Bivins, a freelance journalist from Portland.
FOX News reports that doctors needed four staples to close a 3-inch gash on the back of Paul Welch’s head and he spent at least two days recovering from a concussion. Welch, an Oregon man who voted for Bernie Sanders during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, carried an American flag to protest in opposition to the pro-Trump rally, but he was targeted by Antifa for his excessive patriotism.
Man down. He’s dripping blood from his head. This is serious. He got in a struggle with some black clad dudes over a flag and one of them clubbed him. Video coming. #DefendPDX #Alloutpdx pic.twitter.com/2rWnAkAC2J

This morning I officially notified the City of Portland via email that I won’t be signing a sworn statement regarding tweets I sent while reporting during and after the June 4, 2017 Patriot Prayer rally. https://t.co/JQZpvAKdAY
