Updated 2:03 PM It’s Hanukkah year-round at the Killingsworth Station food cart pod or, at least, a reasonable facsimile of the Lower East Side of New York. In any case, the pod is where Aaron Tomasko and Rachel Brashear of Sweet Lorraine’s Latkes & More are serving voluptuous potato pancakes, as well as knishes, kugel, kasha varnishkes and East Coast sweets. In other words, Jewish grandma cuisine. That’s literally what it is: The cart is named after Tomasko’s maternal grandmother, while also referencing the 1928 standard made most famous by Nat King Cole, which Tomasko’s grandfather Gerry used to sing to her.
Follow RT on Dramatic video of an armed standoff in Portland, Oregon has been shared widely on Twitter. It shows a group of protesters aiming their guns at a pistol-wielding motorist before tackling and disarming him at a blocked intersection.
In the 28-second clip, the armed group aims at the driver of a red truck and tells him to put his
“f king gun down!” The video then skips to a later moment in the confrontation in which the driver gets out of the vehicle and is surrounded.
Shouts of
“Get the weapon!” and
“Get him on the ground!” are heard as the driver is gang-tackled after pulling out an object that appears to be a weapon and points it at the group.
Antifa, BLM Activists Armed With Rifles Block Traffic, Assault Drivers in Portland
A large group of Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed with people this week during a march in Portland and at least one person was hospitalized for reasons that were not specified, police said.
The confrontations between protesters and citizens happened in broad daylight on Wednesday and involved multiple people and separate cases.
At least two of the incidents were captured on video, showing armed protesters getting into a conflict with two drivers who appear to attempt to drive through their march.
In one such incident, armed protesters surrounded a red Interstate Dodge Chrysler, slashed the tires of the vehicle, broke the rear window, and held the driver hostage after accusing him of “driving through their protest,” according to a video that was posted on video sharing platform BitChute.
