A black veteran was filmed holding the American flag in Portland, Oregon, this weekend while telling protesters, “None of you guys represent black lives.”

Gabriel Johnson, who says he's an eight-year veteran of the Marines, sought to decorate a barrier surrounding the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse with the American flag because he’s tired of the violent protests in the city, according to local media outlets.

“I felt compelled to show my patriotism and to try to bring a different message to the courthouse,” Johnson said, according to FOX 12.

"If you stand for justice, come here and stand with me,” Johnson yelled at protesters Saturday night in a video posted to social media. “Stand with me because I’m here for justice. I’m not here to tear down this ****ing fence; I’m not here to spray paint. It’s going on every day. If you don’t want to get gassed, stop! If you don’t want to get gassed, stop! It has to stop! None of you guys represent black lives. Sit and protest. Sit and protest.”

Of course they do not represent nor care about black lives, if they did, they would be out protesting and confronting those who injure and kill a large number of blacks, as well as keep the cycle of poverty and criminal activity going in black communities; gangs.
