A man who displayed a handgun in Oregon on Sunday was a victim of the extremists who had gathered outside the state Capitol, law enforcement clarified in a new statement.

Heavily armed members of the far-left, anarcho-communist Antifa network traveled to Salem and accosted drivers who were flying pro-Trump and pro-law enforcement flags. Video footage and photographs showed them pepper spraying a driver’s face and lobbing a rock directly at another.
