The 25-year-old suspect wanted by Oregon Police for brutally assaulting a man during downtown riots earlier this month took to social media this week; asking his friends for money as he continues to evade capture.
“Might go to jail for murder tonight for a racist when all I did was fight him,” Love purportedly wrote, according to an image obtained by The Sun. “Look it up on Twitter put money on my books and come see me.”
The victims girlfriend “said that they were in his truck when he spotted a woman being mugged and stopped to help. An angry mob set their attention on the couple. The victim got back in the truck and drove away but apparently crashed in a pursuit,” reports Fox News.
“According to records provided to Fox News, Love has a lengthy rap sheet dating back to at least 2012. Police said they have contacted Love, urging him to turn himself in but have not yet located him,” adds Fox.

PORTLAND SPIRALS: Far-Left Mayor Blames ‘FEDERAL TROOPS’ for Violence, Vandalism in His City
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler bizarrely blamed “Federal Troops” for the current violence sweeping his city; saying their “tactics” are “making the situation much more dangerous” for local residents.
“Before the Federal Troops got here, violence was way down, vandalism was way down… The energy was coming out of the demonstrations. What happened is the troops came in, they used their Unconstitutional tactics, they injured non-violent demonstrators, and the whole thing blew up again,” said Wheeler.
