The MSM and Democrats call the “protests” raging in Minnesota “peaceful.” But it wasn’t peaceful when the crowd surrounded a truck with Indie journalists Nick Sortor and Cam Higby, throwing frozen water bottles through the windows. Antifa goons were part of the crowd – including “Antifa journalist” Andrew Mercado.

Police were called on Nick and Cam, claiming they had a “gun” and assaulted a woman. They did not.

The “peaceful protestors” are at it again.

Surrounding my vehicle. Breaking my windows. Spray painting the car.

Telling @camhigby and I over and over that they’re going to kiII us.

We are safe.

But police have *US* detained because rioters called 911 on *US*

? THIS is one of the weapons of choice leftist rioters tried to kiII @CamHigby and me with tonight

Frozen water bottles. Classic Antifa.

Which means SOMEBODY was freezing them beforehand and gave them to rioters to use as weapons

They’re rock solid

Two days ago I tried to shake Andrew Mercado’s hand and make peace with him.

He continued to lie and defame. Tonight he incited a mob against a vehicle I was, which resulted in rocks and frozen water bottles being thrown through our windows.

Just to he extremely clear about the altercation between Nick Sortor and the woman, he didn’t hit her.

His camera had a wrist strap and was attached to his arm. She tried to take it so his arm flies around.

She hit him, he demasked her so she can face legal consequences. pic.twitter.com/DWDRtm6iaR

Frozen water bottles and rocks are signature weapons for Antifa goons. They always “suddenly” show up at riots and those “peaceful protests,” bringing violence and anarchists to any city they can get to in time to incite that violence.

BREAKING – Antifa “journalist” Andrew Mercado has been identified as the leader of the attack on Nick Sortor and Cam Higby, during which leftists surrounded them and threw frozen water bottles through their windows at their heads.

?BREAKING: Terrorists outside Whipple ICE Building assault Cam Higby & Nick Sortor.

One slams megaphone into Cam’s ear. Another physically attacks Nick seconds later.

BREAKING: Radical left extremist Andrew Mercado threatens @nicksortor LIVE on stream:

“I am fcking him up. I am so fcking him up if he comes back in here.”

“He is so done. Nick Sortor better leave Minnesota tonight.”

This is open incitement to violence.

Where’s the DOJ? pic.twitter.com/stbArdoQli

Keep in mind that violent rhetoric by leadership and outsiders ALWAYS leads to danger for all. The left doesn’t care. Antifa goons always show up to make it worse. Fortunately, Nick and Cam made it through the screaming crowd with only vandalism to their truck. It could have been much, much worse.
