A 21-year-old protester who threw a milkshake at opposing protesters during a downtown Portland demonstration in June organized by the #HimToo movement was sentenced Tuesday to 50 hours of community service and one year of probation.

James Kirkpatrick Stocks pleaded no contest Tuesday to two counts of harassment in Multnomah County Circuit Court. But one of the counts is expected to be dismissed in six months if Stocks completes the ordered community service, abstains from participating in future protests and follows all the conditions of probation.

Stocks had come to downtown on June 29 as right-wing supporters of the Proud Boys, left-wing supporters of Rose City Antifa and others flooded the city’s core in favor or against the organizer’s cause. Although rival demonstrators were mostly peaceful, police ended up declaring a civil disturbance hours later and ordered people to leave because violence broke out.

Stocks, who at the time lived in Milwaukie, was standing across the street from the four people identified by police as victims: Kyle Tautfest, Tanner Peterson, Zachary Staggs and Dion Thompson, investigators said. Tautfest is a conservative blogger from the Tacoma-Seattle area and the other three were there as his associates, authorities said.

Police had separated the opposing groups on different sides of the street when they saw Stocks throw a milkshake, according to the prosecution.

Conservative writer Andy Ngo said he also was struck by a milkshake that day, as well kicked and punched. But Stocks wasn’t involved, according to the prosecution.

No one has been charged in Ngo’s case and the case is still open, said Brent Weisberg, a spokesman for the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office.

Police said at the time that some of the milkshakes thrown that day might have been mixed with "a substance similar to quick-drying cement.” But the District Attorney’s Office has no reason to believe that Stocks’ milkshake had cement in it, Weisberg said.

The antifascist group, Popular Mobilization, wrote on Facebook that it handed out more than 750 vegan milkshakes to demonstrators to drink as they spoke out against “the Proud Boys and alt-right provocateurs." The group contested the accusation that there was cement in them.

Stocks declined to comment to The Oregonian/OregonLive.

Police reported making two other arrests during the June demonstration: Gage Halupowski was arrested for allegedly striking two others with a baton and Maria Caitlin Dehart was arrested for allegedly throwing water at a man who was taking video of antifa demonstrators. Both Halupowski’s and Dehart’s cases are pending.
