Blake David Hampe, a member of Portland Antifa who had previously served time in prison for a child sex crime conviction, has pleaded guilty to stabbing a black conservative livestreamer during the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots.
Hampe, 46, pleaded guilty to felony second-degree attempted assault in a plea deal that will see him serve no prison time, but instead receive three years of probation. The original charge of felony second-degree assault was downgraded, and a felony charge of unlawful use of a weapon was dropped in the plea deal.
The incident occurred on July 25, 2020, during the height of the nightly far-left rioting in downtown Portland. Hampe was recorded on video stabbing Andrew Duncomb, who was hospitalized and narrowly survived being paralyzed as the blade pierced inches from his spinal cord. The case dragged on for nearly three years with multiple trial dates pushed back.
During this time, Antifa extremists in Portland intimidated Duncomb for his participation in the case by targeting him at his place of employment. In March this year, Antifa harassed him at a grocery store and successfully had him fired as security over false claims he is a white supremacist.
Despite Hampe failing to show up to several court dates, the Multnomah County District Attorneys Office under Mike Schmidt offered him the sweetheart resolution deal. Hampe was active in the Portland Antifa militant circles for several years and has been witnessed by reporters at multiple direct actions in 2019 and 2020 where he wears clothing featuring childrens cartoon characters. He had a particular hatred for the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. immigration and border officers. His past criminal history appears to shed light as to why.
In 2008, Hampe was federally convicted for possessing child sex abuse content after he was caught by U.S. Customs and Border Protection with the material on a computer upon re-entering from Nova Scotia, Canada. According to court records, officers grew suspicious of Hampes nervous behavior and seeing childrens toys and underwear in his car in September 2006.
In an account he operates on Reddit under the username br0k3nr0b0t, Hampe posted about his diaper fetish. In a 2019 post after a reporter was beaten by Antifa and hospitalized for a brain bleed, Hampe posted about being there and pointing the reporter out to the black bloc.
Stabbing victim Andrew Duncomb provided a victim statement to the court upon finding out about Hampes plea deal, saying, I spent almost 2 years after the stabbing dealing with PTSD issues and dealing with resentment I had towards Mr. Hampe. I have healed from a lot of the mental effects this incident has had on my life and I'm just ready to put it all behind me. I hope that Mr. Hampe will be able to contribute something positive towards society and wish nothing but the best moving forward."
