Brussels, Belgium: Black bloc rioters smash up buildings and attack police near the European Parliament today.
Scenes of violence in Brussels, Belgium today as black bloc rioters destroyed the front of the European Union’s diplomatic service office.
Rioters fight police in #Brussels. Tens of thousands gathered nearby for a protest against new Covid related policies, such as the requirement that one needs a booster shot after five months in order to have a Covid pass.
Violent clashes broke out between police & black bloc rioters today close to the European Parliament in #Brussels. This happened in parallel to a large anti-Covid mandate protest. Police use water cannons to disperse rioters.
Part of a large protest against strict Covid mandates in #Brussels today devolved into violent rioting. Those involved include a group in black bloc. Police are attacked and pelted with projectiles.
Breaking: At the anti-Covid mandate riot in #Brussels today, officers separated from the rest of their team had to take refuge in a subway station after being beaten back. One officer is knocked down the stairs by a fence thrown on him from high above.
Brussels: Rioters attack an occupied police van & spray “ACAB” on the front. Police are forced to retreat because of the escalating violence. #Bruxelles#Brussels
Some of those on the ground in Brussels blame a faction of #Antifa black bloc for agitating the anti-Covid mandate protest & helping turn it into a violent riot (similar to BLM protests becoming riots in U.S. in 2020 with help of Antifa).
Earlier today: Rioters brazenly rush in to fight police in #Brussels, who retreat at times. One hits them with a stick.
More police are forced to flee in their vehicles in #Brussels as rioters overwhelm them.
Another angle: Emboldened rioters attack police vehicles in #Brussells, forcing them to flee.
With police having retreated, #Antifa and anti-Covid mandate rioters in #Brussels start fires on the street. The Belgian city has been marred by hours of rioting when part of a large anti-Covid march devolved into ultra violence.

Antifa member unmasked: @BikeSlutty is one of the Antifa members suggesting he will carry out violent criminal acts at the @DNC convention. He identifies as a "photo journalist."
He is Hart Ryan Noecker (b. March 7, 1980), of Chicago. Noecker was a notorious far-left extremist activist in Portland, Ore. but quietly relocated after being accused of serious s—x abuse. He was never charged over the accusations.
People alleged that as a male feminist, he earned the trust of female comrades whom he then allegedly abused. He was legitimized by the publication @BikePortland despite taking extreme positions. He was an organizer and leader of far-left direct actions.
After fleeing Portland, he went to Lansing, Mich. before moving most recently to Chicago. He adopted a new alias to escape his past. Under the alias, he continues to incite far-left extremism and political violence under the guise of being an "independent journalist."
Washington Post, Jezebel, Willamette Week and others wrote about the accusations against Noecker at the time.
Chicago Antifa member Hart Ryan Noecker (b. March 7, 1980) moved away from Portland, Ore. after being accused of s—x abuse in a scandal that was even covered by the Washington Post due to his notoriety in organizing leftist direct actions.
Under a new identity and alias as @BikeSlutty, the far-left extremist urges violence while identifying as an "independent journalist."
Portland Antifa ringleader Alissa Azar was just exposed at her trial last week for being a fake journalist who used that identity as an excuse to engage in felony criminal violence with Antifa. She was convicted by the jury.
Noecker, Azar and a long list of other extremists began identifying as "press" in 2020 amid the deadly BLM-Antifa riots. Doing so gave them access to gullible liberal press rights groups, as well as legitimacy in the mainstream media.archive.is/vFY0b
This is one of the alias accounts that Chicago Antifa member Hart Ryan Noecker uses.
He fled Portland, Ore., where he was extremely active in organizing far-left direct actions, when his comrades began publicly accusing him of s—x abuse.
BREAKING: Violent Portland Antifa activist John Hacker beat a man to the ground outside the courthouse after his Antifa comrade Alissa Azar was convicted. He has been arrested and charged with assault.
Breaking: Portland Antifa activist John Hacker, who is 6 feet and three inches tall and weighs nearly 300 lbs., was arrested and charged with assault. He was observed beating and bloodying a man to the ground in a fit of rage outside the courthouse after his friend and comrade, Alissa Azar, was convicted.
In 2019, I was personally victimized by Hacker when he attacked me at a gym and took my phone as revenge for my reporting. He admitted this at a criminal trial but a Portland judge acquitted him of robbery.
Update: Violent Antifa member John Colin Hacker remains in the Clackamas County jail after earlier beating and bloodying a man to the ground in a fit of rage outside the courthouse where his comrade Alissa Azar was just convicted. His arraignment is at 2 p.m. PT Aug. 15 via video link at the courthouse.
BREAKING: After a 5-day trial marred by security concerns, an Oregon jury has CONVICTED Portland Antifa leader Alissa Azar of a felony over a violent 2021 attack. Azar and her Antifa comrades burst into tears. READ exclusive report by @KatieDaviscourt & I: thepostmillennial.com/breaking-orego…
The five days of the trial of now-convicted felon @AlissaAzar have been incredibly challenging for my colleagues @KatieDaviscourt and @hunnybadgermom.
They faced violence and harassment from Antifa supporters of the defendant. I am so thankful to have been able to work with an incredible team for our day-by-day reporting.
And thank you to Clackamas commissioner @BenforOregon for bringing attention to this story in his county and being clear that media intimidation is not acceptable.
Portland Antifa leader Alissa Azar and her defense, led by Antifa activist attorney Lauren Regan, argued several points in a jury nullification strategy to present the victims as deserving of violence following Jan. 6:
•Azar is a peaceful journalist. However, the prosecution showed videos of her rioting, as well as her own social media posts inciting and celebrating political violence, and calling for the crushing of the civil rights of others.
•The woman Azar was recorded attacking was a "threat" because she stood next to an alleged Proud Boy. Police were subpoenaed to testify. They said the Antifa group Azar was with brought homemade explosives that had to be disfused by a bomb squad.
•The people who were attacked are "white supremacists" and deserved it because of Jan. 6. The prosecution pointed out that those on the right have also been charged for alleged crimes that day. (One right-wing man has a trial in the county in November.)
•The defense star expert Shane Burley argued Rose City Antifa is not an organization. The prosecution pulled up the group's website, including the section that answers queries about how to become a member. The defense pulled all their remaining witnesses after this.
The @KamalaHQ campaign & press celebrated Ana Rice for being the BIPOC design lead who rebranded Harris & her new campaign logo. But I looked into her background.
Rice has been urging extreme political violence & arson attacks for years. My investigation:nypost.com/2024/07/26/opi…
As American cities were besieged by political violence from rioters, now-@KamalaHQ lead designer Ana Cherée Rice urged for the arson attacks to continue. She even wanted to take part in looting.
The spokesperson for @KamalaHarris did not respond to a request for comment. Read: nypost.com/2024/07/26/opi…

Revealed: Violent Portland Antifa member Ashley Heather Clark was arrested at the riot on July 24 where Antifa tried to attack the north precinct as revenge for Sonya Massey's death in Illinois. Clark was charged with trespass and was quickly released without bail.
Last summer in my Ngo v. Rose City Antifa, et al. trial, Antifa brought Clark on as a character witness against me.
Clark has long been active in extremism in Oregon, going as far back as 2018 when she went viral for attacking the sound equipment of a PSU James Damore event when @HeatherEHeying talked about sex differences.
Far-left anarchist extremist Cassidy Kakin, 32, was arrested at the Antifa attack on the Portland Police north precinct on July 24. The trans nonbinary militant is from Oakland, Calif. and identifies as a music journalist. He was charged with trespass and was quickly released without bail. archive.is/77HeW
Convicted felon Darnell Andre Canfield, 40, was arrested at the Antifa attack on the Portland Police north precinct on July 24.
Canfield was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct in the second-degree.
Gerald "Jerry" Henry Mccorkle, 62, was also arrested. He was quickly released without bail. He works as an operations analyst for @bonnevillepower.
This viral video is being shared without context by engagement farmers so I did some research.
A migrant community in the Harehills neighborhood of Leeds, England attacked police as revenge for them responding to help child protective workers who came to a home with endangered children.
The police safely removed the children and social workers before coming under mass attack.
Many areas of immigrant England operate as parallel societies where police are encouraged not to intervene. This leaves children, women and other vulnerable people often at the mercy of those who use violence. For example, Islamic migrant communities in England operated rape and grooming gangs for years.
Speaking from experience, those who say something about the problems can be subject to violence and threats based on accusations of “racism.” One of the Antifa members in Portland who assaulted me said my writing was “Islamophobic.”
Here is another angle of the migrant riot today in Leeds, England. Rioters attacked police for helping child protective workers remove endangered children from a home. Many of the rioters are children who were encouraged to be violent by adults around them.
