Footage pulled from my IG live from last night. I’m positioned in front of PBs with antifascists behind me. When PBs moved in is when my phone got thrown. Looks like someone picked it up to catch bike cops coming through. Explains why I found it on the curb!
You might also notice police weren’t around until after the melee had been going for a bit.
From this clip by @blackhousenew, you see PBs run up to the antifascists and meet in the intersection. I’m off to the left and out of frame in this: https://twitter.com/blackhousenew/status/1327790515329396737?s=21

Well I found footage of me getting hit. Guy in black hat and beige coat walked right up to me and punched me.
Longer video shows the Proud Boy/MAGA group “finding” the antifascists and running up to them to brawl. They also bear spray.
Guy walked up to a 5 foot tall reporter covered in PRESS labels to suckerpunch her and she stayed standing.
Seems like a cool guy https://twitter.com/def_not_emmi/status/1328017268794601474
Based on footage it now looks like I have to walk back my “I wasn’t targeted” and reaffirm my “I was hit, not stabbed.” Thank you for tagging along on this ride we call Correcting And Clarifying As Information Becomes Available. https://twitter.com/itsa_talia/status/1327970185215668224
