Justice for Joe Hall

On May 6th 2021, Joseph Hall was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was in North Portland finishing up one of his handyman jobs in that part of town, and heading on his way home. He had the misfortune of finding himself and his truck in the middle of a protest lead by local BLM activists and ANTIFA. He made an attempt to drive around the protesters, but was subsequently blocked in by a large group of activists both on foot and with their own personal vehicles. When he tried to make attempts to get them to clear the way, he had multiple guns drawn on him. He then had to try to reason with them but they were threatening violence to him. He then attempted to use his non-lethal gun that shoots rubber bullets to get them to disperse. They then started to push him around and he was then physically assaulted by numerous individuals. He suffered head trauma, broken ribs, cracked vertebrae, a collapsed lung and a broken collarbone. 

He is a disabled veteran that already has numerous health issues, such as uncontrolled diabetes, which makes him insulin dependent, and is unable to work a full time job. The income he earned subsidized his disability income. He is now unable to work due to the extensive injuries and trauma that he sustained at the hands of violent criminals who are being allowed to take over the streets of Portland. 

I am setting up this gofundme to help pay for medical costs, insurance deductibles, and legal fees that he will be incuring in the process of seeking justice and reparations from those who saw fit to harm another human being. 

Thank you for your support and for supporting Joe through his recovery which will be a difficult one
