BLM mob beat white man unconscious after making him crash truck: video

Portland driver Adam Haner believes he was attacked because he is white
The driver kicked unconscious during a mob attack in Portland says he has previously marched in support of Black Lives Matter — and believes he was only targeted because he is white.
“I wasn’t trying to do anything but get a drink,” Adam Haner told KATU of the vicious attack that started outside a 7-Eleven and left him with head wounds, three broken ribs and two black eyes.
“I wasn’t the enemy, I’ll tell you that. I was just the guy standing there, and I was white, evidently,” he said of his brutal attack by BLM protesters.
While he was not part of the ongoing protests in Portland, Haner told KPTV that he had previously marched in BLM protests.
“I was for that. I’ve had cops beat me up before. I was for their cause,” he said.
The one-time firefighter — who is refusing to watch the viral video of his attack — said his natural instincts kicked in when he saw a trans woman who he did not know getting robbed and beaten.
“I just seen something going on there, and I tried to get in the middle of it — and it just directed the fire towards me,” he told the station. “Their whole chaos came right at me.”
He insisted that he said nothing offensive — but both he and his girlfriend, Tammie Martin, were immediately set upon by the mob who started calling them white supremacists for no reason.
“All I remember saying very vividly was, ‘This isn’t your enemy — this isn’t who we’re trying to fight,'” he insisted.
Martin — who was also attacked in the initial confrontation — said the videos prove Haner was trying to get out safely without hurting anyone.
“He was honking his horn and revving his engine to get people off his truck — he didn’t want to hurt nobody,” she told the station, saying she was also bruised after being wrestled to the ground and battered.
Haner said his power steering belt then came off as he drove away — forcing him to crash as he tried to make a turn.
“Before I even got my door open, somebody was yanking me out and I hit the ground,” he told KPTV.
“I remember vaguely being on the ground and trying to call her,” he said of his girlfriend.
“Then I don’t remember anything. And then two days later I wake up” covered in tubes in ICU, he said.
But he insisted he is not “seeking vengeance” against the suspect in his attack, named by police as 25-year-old former security guard Marquise Love.
“I’m sure Karma will take care of him in whatever way it needs to … I hope he learns something,” he said.
He also insisted he would once again step in to help a stranger in need “once I’m fully recovered.”
“That’s who I am. If I see something wrong I’m going to be the person to say something,” he said, adding that his instinct to “go in and help people” is what made him become a firefighter.
“Me helping people is just my nature,” he told KATU.
The attack — and ongoing riots and protests — has changed his opinion of the city he loves, however.
“Getting a drink at a 7-Eleven in Portland, Oregon is a different story than it was two months ago,” he told WKBN.

Accused Portland attacker Marquise Love has lengthy rap sheet
The attacker being sought by Portland authorities for allegedly knocking a man out cold during a chaotic demonstration over the weekend has a lengthy criminal record that includes arrests for domestic assault and criminal trespass.
Marquise Love, 25, has been arrested in Washington County, Ore., which borders Portland to the west, seven times since 2012, according to records provided to Fox News.
In 2017, he was arrested for domestic assault and domestic harassment. He wasn't prosecuted, The New York Post reported, but a judge signed a protective order against him.
His rap sheet also includes two separate arrests in 2016 for providing false information in connection with the transfer of a firearm, and domestic assault and criminal trespass. In 2015, Love was arrested for interfering with public transportation.
In 2014, a Washington County court established Love's paternity of a child in a domestic relations case and he also was charged with a probation violation in an unrelated case. In that case, he initially was stopped for doing tricks on a bicycle while blocking traffic. The bicycle didn't have brakes, according to an arrest report.
Love was arrested twice in 2012 -- once for second-degree theft, and again for interfering with public transportation and criminal trespass. He pleaded guilty to the public transportation charge, the newspaper reported. The criminal trespass charge was dismissed, according to records.
He was sentenced to 18 months probation and a $500 fine, of which $400 was later converted into community service. He still owes thousands in unpaid fines from various convictions.
Love also has arrests in other counties throughout the state. He was convicted in Clatsop County in 2016 for driving without a valid driver's license and without insurance.
In Multnomah County, home to Portland, he was convicted in August 2016 of causing unreasonable noise with a motor vehicle, driving with a suspended license and not having insurance, vehicle registration or proper license plates. He was most recently convicted there in February 2019 for failing to appear in court for driving with a suspended or revoked license.
Love, who goes by the name "Keese Love," is being sought by police after he was caught viciously attacking a man in the middle of the street Sunday night, authorities said. Footage of the beating shows someone appearing to be Love coming behind a man, identified as Adam Haner, as he is kneeling in the street and kicking him in the face.
The attack caused Haner to fall to the ground and lose consciousness. Several onlookers tended to him and he was taken to a hospital. The incident was widely circulated on social media, eliciting outrage.
Haner's girlfriend told local media that they were in his truck when he spotted a woman who needed help in the angry mob. The group soon set their attention on the couple and a confrontation escalated until Haner got back in the truck and drove away.
He crashed a short distance away and was dragged from the vehicle. Video of the attack appears to show the suspect identified as Love punching and kicking Haner. He then ran up behind him and kicked him in the face, police said.
The attacker was wearing a tactical vest with "Security" emblazoned across, leading to questions about his employment. Love was employed as an unarmed security guard earlier this year, the Star Protection Agency previously told Fox News
A company official said the vest worn by Love at the time of the attack was not issued by the firm.
