Marquise Love

Marquise “Keese” Lee Love made headlines as a Black Lives Matter rioter amid the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020. He participated in an assault that took place at the intersection of Southwest Taylor Street and Broadway a couple blocks from the Multnomah County Justice Center in Portland, Oregon, United States at 10:27 p.m. on August 16, 2020.

Wearing a uniform of Star Protection Agency, a security firm with an office in Portland, Love was one of the rioters who were robbing a white man that night. They then robbed a transgender woman who tried to intervene and stop them.

A pickup truck driver named Adam Haner who was parked nearby tried to stop the rioters from attacking the transgender woman but he was attacked by Love and his fellow rioters. A white woman tried to help Haner but she ended up being punched and tackled to the ground by the rioters.

When Haner tried to flee by driving off, the rioters tried to open his door. The vehicle crashed into a tree and the rioters dragged him out of it and assaulted him while he was helpless on the ground.

“I ain’t trying to hurt no one,” Haner told the rioters who were surrounding him. Love asked him, “What the f**k is you talking about, n****r?”

Love hit Haner repeatedly on the face then the former backed off, quickly returned and kicked the latter on the forehead, which left the victim unconscious as shown in the videos taken by witnesses. Here are 13 more facts about him:
