All those mostly peaceful protests in Portland are going to get someone killed:

More from the New York Post:
The victim was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries, police said. “The incident is under investigation and no arrests have been made,” the force said.
It was unclear what sparked the confrontation but “protesters were chasing the truck before it crashed, and they assaulted the driver after the crash,” the police statement said.
The mob was made up of Black Lives Matter and Antifa militants, according to Kalen D’Almeida the co-founder of Scriberr News, who shared one of the videos.
Andy Ngo shared multiple videos documenting the violent assault.
Warning: These are extremely graphic.

This is the moment immediately before. The mob assaults him and makes him sit in the ground while they search his belongings. When he stands up, they brutally beat him. #PortlandRiots #antifa #BlackLivesMatter Video by @livesmattershow pic.twitter.com/tEzpIz6V9U

Earlier: Rioters stand over the unconscious man’s body after they beat him. They pour water on him and shout in support of Black Lives Matter. Antifa street medics are examining him. He’s not responsive. #PortlandRiots #BlackLiveMatter Video @FromKalen. pic.twitter.com/aI5emSRATI

“He didn’t do nothing bro”
Video by @livesmattershow shows the altercations that happened in downtown Portland before the car crash. The BLM mob is beating a blonde woman and they tackle her to the ground. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/c0xbTr2Eon

Another angle of the violent BLM interrogation of the driver who is detained and forced to sit on the ground. The man who later kicks his head curses at him and starts punching his face, which was already bleeding. #PortlandRiots Video by @FromKalen pic.twitter.com/BZKJgv6Vy5

This absolutely sickens me! I hope the governor and mayor are held accountable for all the violence they have allowed and encouraged. Sending prayers for that couple.

What’s happening in Portland is sickening. Yet there are people out there who think BLM/Antifa’s cause is a just one. They think BLM/Antifa are the ones fighting fascism.

He's still looking for this…just like OJ is still looking for Nicole's killer.https://t.co/SLNTbkx83F

The fact that anyone — anyone — is still out there making excuses for and defending these monsters is just … it’s unfathomable. Indefensible.
The last left-wing moral panic gave us a violent Marxist domestic terrorist organization with a billion-dollar corporate-funded war chest. Can't wait to see what the Post Office panic saddles us with! https://t.co/jnXhcfHvMy
