Oregon Live: A 24-year-old man who hit another man over the head with a baton in June during dueling downtown Portland demonstrations was sentenced Friday to nearly six years in prison.

Gage Halupowski pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in connection with the June 29 attack on Adam Kelly outside The Nines Hotel along Southwest Morrison Street. Halupowski was identified as one of several masked, black-clothed demonstrators seen on video hitting and pepper-spraying Kelly after he appeared to come to the aid of another man who’d been attacked during the protests, authorities said.

Kelly, a right-wing protestor at the demonstrations, wrote on Facebook at the time that the blows to his head led to him suffering a concussion and needing 25 staples to close the wounds.

Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Melissa Marrero said Halupowski hitting Kelly in the back of the head with an expandable baton was “completely unexplainable, completely avoidable and didn’t need to happen.”

She said Kelly and Halupowski both were lucky that Kelly survived his injuries. read more

  1. I just love how the victim is a “right wing extremist” according to the news.
    The thug who struck a man trying to render assistance to another injured man is painted as the bad guy.
    Only in lefty loony land.

  2. Mr tuff guy ANTIFA thug is going to a prison that’s wall to wall mexican gang members.
    Within 24hrs he’ll be begging to be placed in protective custody to avoid another gang rape.
    During the violent sexual assault he’ll be wondering why explaining to the rapists that he landed in prison because he was fighting for their rights didn’t buy him any mercy.

  3. Anon – Eight years of the Øbamboozler surely didn’t help, but the Left has come to believe they are untouchable because the complicit, knee-pad Media along with their toadies in the democRAT party enable them! They wouldn’t be getting away with this shit if the Media just reported the News honestly and the Rat politicians weren’t taking sides and instructing the Police to coddle the Leftist radicals! Of course some of it goes back even further when you consider that many (including the Police) were educated by a leftist school system so we are also seeing the results of that indoctrination.
