When you were a kid, you were always taught to try to leave old people and the disabled the heck alone if you had an issue with them if it could be avoided because there was nothing to be gained with going after the elderly.
There’s an implied level of respect that comes with getting old just because of the fact that you have avoided the million and one things that could kill you in this world. Which is why when I have gotten wound up about something in my life when an elderly person was involved.
I can never imagine being at a point where I got so angry that I assaulted an old person. However, it seems the rioting BLM thugs are going to continue to do things that shock the senses.
Two older adults were attacked with paint as leftist activists targeted a police precinct Thursday night in another night of violence in Portland, Oregon, authorities told a Portland TV station.
KGW-TV reported that more than 200 demonstrators converged on the police department’s East Precinct, where many threw objects such as glass bottles, rocks, fireworks and paint at police officers.
Some also set fires, and 11 arrests were made, KGW reported.
Journalist Andy Ngo, who reports on the city’s nightly protests and riots, reported an older woman was assaulted by Antifa members with white paint as she attempted to defend the police department.
“An older woman tried to stop #antifa rioters from continuing their attack on the Portland Police east precinct tonight,” Ngo tweeted. “She stood in the front and they dumped some white liquid all over her & curse her out.”

In a video, younger men and women hurled insults at her. One woman off camera yelled to the victim repeatedly, “Put your mask on.”
The video shows the elderly woman’s face partially covered in white paint as a man screams in her face.
A crowd around the incident did nothing to intervene on the woman’s behalf.
The Portland Police Bureau commented on the reported assault on Twitter.
“This unknown woman using a walker was confronted by the group currently outside East Precinct and paint was strewn all over her,” the department wrote, sharing a picture of the woman.
In a separate post, police said, “There was a separate unknown woman using a walker outside of East Precinct who attempted to extinguish a fire set by the group.
