Breaking: An investigation by the state found that @CiderRiot, the pub popular w/antifa militants, had knowingly allowed its patrons to use ‘illegal weapons’ against people on May Day. Report says the owner & a staff person tried to mislead investigators. oregonlive.com/news/2019/09/p…
The damning state investigative report recommends multiple charges against the owner, Abram Goldman-Armstrong & his @CiderRiot staff. In May, I was one of the people attacked by a masked patron from pub. An OSU student journalist was also left bloodied.
State report says owner & its staff provided false statements to them: @CiderRiot security Joseph LeVasseaur originally said he stood by door to check IDs. Video show him pepper spraying & fighting people. Owner said he instructed staff to call police. Report says that’s false.
State report also casts doubt on claims by antifa activists, sympathetic media & fundraiser that Heather Clark had her “neck broken.” Pub manager Breanne Gearheart says she isn’t aware of anyone calling for medical assistance that day. Video of Clark:
There have been no arrests of any antifa-affiliated people from the May Day riot at Cider Riot. 6 right-wing people, including Joey Gibson, were arrested & charged for their alleged roles in the brawl. Ian Kramer has been jailed for allegedly hitting Heather Clark w/a baton.
The investigation by state regulators into @CiderRiot, the pub popular with antifa militants in Portland, shows a charge of destroying or concealing evidence, but the details are redacted. Earlier this week, the owner put the pub on sale for $875k.
