An Occupy Portland protester told a Conservative lady who stopped by to check out Occupy Portland that he hopes she gets hit in the head with a tear gas canister, and he'd laugh if she did.

DaylightDisenfectant's YouTube page explains the situation: After a polite interview, the Mom engages in a spirited debate with one of the Occupiers. The reporter hears something off camera and he asks an Occupier to repeat what he said. This time caught on tape, the Occupier repeats himself : "I said I hope she gets hit in the head with a tear gas canister. And I may laugh when that happens."
