As of this afternoon the Portland police were still investigating. With video, there is a good chance the people who assaulted the driver will be identified and charged. I hope so.
There were 911 calls before the beating of a vehicle swerving around and coming very close to hitting protesters on the street. The news reports I read said that the police have not said if this truck was that vehicle or not. It is possible the driver was intoxicated rather than out to do harm.
We will know more in a few days.
There was a follow up video where some bystanders trying to help rolled that guy on his side. There is massive swelling to the back of his head, indicative of coup and contrecoup brain injury. I guarantee you he has a cracked skull, and if he didn't get treatment within an hour of the injury, he most likely died of brain swelling.
I hope the F-er that is in that video kicking him gets life in prison or capital punishment. I'm leaning towards the later because he's not worth the tax dollars that life in prison would cost the taxpayers.
As of this afternoon the driver was listed in serious condition, but alive in the hospital. There is a world class hospital (OHSU) right on the edge of downtown. (On the same street as the Portland Tesla Service Center.) I'm not sure he was taken to OHSU, but there are several very good hospitals in or near downtown.
As for what the assaulter is likely to face. Probably 1st degree assault. Possibly attempted 2nd degree murder.
