Another day, another “peaceful protester” in Portland charged with a federal crime. His name is Dakotah Ray Horton and he’s your typical Black Lives Matters/AntiFA “peaceful protester” who attacked a federal officer with a baseball bat. The little pajama boy looking punk looks like a rooster with his hair.

A Portland man faces a charge of assaulting a federal officer after authorities say he assaulted a U.S. Marshals Service deputy with a baseball bat.
U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams announced the charges against Dakotah Ray Horton, 24, stemming from an incident on July 27 at the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse.
The U.S. Attorney’s office said that as deputies approached a crowd of protesters on July 27, they attempted to arrest an individual for assaulting an officer. They say that as one of the deputies knelt on the ground to assist with the arrest, Horton approached from behind and struck the deputy on different parts of the body with a wooden baseball bat, which ultimately caused non-life-threatening injuries.
“Assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon is a serious violent crime,” said U.S. Attorney Williams. “I applaud the tenacity of the deputy U.S. Marshals who, for multiple weeks, worked tirelessly to identify this defendant.”
On July 27, a group of people marched downtown at around 9 p.m. and stopped and blocked Southwest 3rd Avenue between Southwest Madison Street and Southwest Salmon Street, where they delivered speeches for over an hour.
