Small prayer group including children viciously assaulted in Portland by Antifa

A prayer and worship event planned for weeks in downtown Portland, Oregon, turned violent as Antifa radical militants assaulted the peaceful prayer gathering, including children.

“Where is your God now?” shouted one of the violent, black clad Antifa members. The event was also organized and attended by Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski.

Portland police did little or nothing to stop the assaults as they looked on while the peaceful Christians were assaulted by Antifa. They were sprayed with what appeared to be pepper spray, had ‘flash bombs’ thrown their way, and Antifa even threw the sound equipment being used by the prayer participants into the Willamette River.

A woman attending the prayer event depicted the group as “ruthless.”

“Antifa just rolled in like an angry mob, started throwing flash bombs at everybody, macing everybody … rotten eggs,” CBN News quoted her as saying. “They threw a flash bomb into a group of kids that were out there from 4 months old to like 10.” A pastor was also injured by one of the ‘flash bombs.’

Someone who was helping the pastor was heard saying, “I walked up to ask them to stop throwing things at the children. There are kids down there. I mean, they’re toddlers and they sprayed me too.”

“Welcome to Portland. You won’t like it here, pastor,” tweeted an Antifa member who identifies herself as Melissa Lewis on Twitter.

The Saturday prayer and worship event in Portland was announced over a month ago, which gave Antifa ample time to plan the attacks and assaults on the participants, including children as young as 4- months of age.

Antifa has also attacked various churches in Portland recently.
