“I was stabbed for being a conservative journalist," Duncomb, who goes by 'Black Rebel' on Twitter, told the Oregonian newspaper.
Portland has seen 62 consecutive nights of protests and demonstrations stemming from the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. Duncomb told the paper that he was there to document the scene on the ground and prove that it was not “the feds creating the problems.”
He was there with some friends on Saturday at around 2 a.m. when he said he noticed that they were being followed. The paper posted a video that reportedly showed Duncomb approach the man from behind, put his arm on the person's shoulder and say, “Hey, buddy, why are you following us?”

I don't know. They didn't know each other. They never saw each other before. The reporter casually walks up puts his arm around the guy and begins talking to him. The video shows that. Just a strange event.
Stabbed for being a black journalist. Choked for being a black man. Meanwhile the Charleston shooter was brought in peacefully and bought a cheeseburger. See the differences?
When will a hit squad go to Portland and kill these people
43 year old blond haired, blue eyed convicted child porn offender in custody on $250,000 bond and 1st degree assault w/ weapon (7" knife) after being held by onlookers at the scene to wait for police. Evidently took a small beating before cops arrived. No doubt about his having done the stabbing, as cameras were on him from start to finish.
Glad he is in custody, hope they tag on "hate crime".
I agree. How would you react?? A stranger walks up put his arm around you and starts talking like your best buds. I mean he didn't deserve to be stabbed. But he sort of brought it on himself. Especially this day and age.
He was already on edge. The words, "Hey, buddy, why are you following us?" was something he didn't want to hear, because he didn't want to be identified.
His attorney will say that he feared for his life when he was touched, and was within his rights to defend himself.
