'Hit, stabbed, kicked': Assaulted driver speaks out (Portland)

https://www.koin.com/news/crime/hit-stabbed-kicked-assaulted-driver-speaks-out/



PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — On Friday, the victim who was brutally attacked near a protest in downtown Portland last week spoke out. Earlier the same day, the man accused in the attack turned himself in to police after the video of the incident went viral.

“My shoulder today is kind of hurting me a little bit because of the way my neck went when I got kicked,” said Adam Haner. Images of him lying unconscious in the street, with his face covered in blood, have been seen across social media in the days since the assault was captured on video on Sunday, August 16. An ambulance took him to the hospital that night.

This week, he is left with bruises, nearly two inches thick around each eye. “Brain swelling is what they were worried about in the beginning,” said Haner. “They’re worried right now that my retina is trying to lift off of my eye.”

He said he’s still having trouble seeing out of his left eye. Doctors are hoping he doesn’t have permanent vision damage.

I watched videos of the attack and had difficulty keeping my rage in check.

Fortunately, the SOB who is on video punting his head like a football, Marquise Lee Love, is in custody.

I couldn't understand why everyone so angry and aggressive. I do believe a BLM leader in Portland came out and said this obviously has nothing to do with BLM and they denounce any such violence.

He crashed his pickup into a sidewalk. If this is true...he's lucky he isn't dead.
