'I WASN'T THE ENEMY'

Beaten Portlander: I marched for BLM

The driver kicked unconscious during a mob attack in Portland, Ore., says he has previously marched in support of Black Lives Matter and believes he was targeted because he is white.

“I wasn’t the enemy, I’ll tell you that,” Adam Haner told KATU-TV of the Sunday attack by protesters that started outside a 7-Eleven and left him with head wounds, three broken ribs and two black eyes.

“I was just the guy standing there, and I was white, evidently.”

While he was not part of the ongoing protests in Portland, Haner told KPTV that he had marched in demonstrations for BLM.

“I was for that. I’ve had cops beat me up before. I was for their cause,” he said on Wednesday.

The onetime firefighter said he had intervened on Sunday when he saw a trans woman getting robbed and beaten outside the convenience store.

“I tried to get in the middle of it, and it just directed the fire towards me,” he told KATU. “Their whole chaos came right at me.”

He insisted that he said nothing offensive, but said he and his girlfriend, Tammie Martin, were set upon by the mob, who called them white supremacists.

“All I remember saying very vividly was, ‘This isn’t your enemy. This isn’t who we’re trying to fight,’ ” Haner recalled.

Martin said videos of the incident prove Haner was trying leave safely when he jumped in his truck and tried to drive away.

“He was honking his horn and revving his engine to get people off his truck. He didn’t want to hurt nobody,” she told KATU, saying she was bruised after being wrestled to the ground and beaten.

Haner said his truck’s powersteering belt came off as he drove away, causing him to crash.

“Before I even got my door open, somebody was yanking me out and I hit the ground,” he told KPTV.

“Then I don’t remember anything. And then two days later, I wake up” in an ICU, Haner said.

He added that he is not “seeking vengeance” against the suspect in his attack, Marquise Love, 25.

“I’m sure karma will take care of him in whatever way it needs to . . . I hope he learns something,” he said.

Meanwhile, protests continued for the 84th straight night in Portland on Wednesday.

Protesters spray-painted and broke windows at an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement building and lobbed glass bottles and rocks at police, cops said.

Three dozen federal officers poured out of the building at around 10 p.m. and rushed the protesters, The Oregonian reported.

It was the first night federal officers were seen in the city after Gov. Kate Brown and acting federal Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf announced last month a deal to begin withdrawing feds there, The Oregonian reported.

Declaring an “unlawful assembly,” police used crowd-control munitions, including tear gas and stun grenades to break up the crowd around midnight.
