Fatal shooting in Portland as Trump supporters confront BLM protesters

“Portland police officers heard sounds of gunfire from the area of Southeast 3rd Avenue and Southwest Alder Street,” Portland police said in a statement.

“They responded and located a victim with a gunshot wound to the chest. Medical responded and determined that the victim was deceased.”

I can't post it here, but there is video that shows him being shot right after someone says "Hey! We got a Trumper right here!" Then it appears that the gunman says "right here?" And then shoots the man. It's the headline at Dailywire.com, and the video is in that article.

BLM is celebrating.

Any sympathy I might've ever felt for that movement is gone now and my name is Legion for we are many. Public support for BLM has been on the decline for quite a while now. This will only accelerate the trend.

From what I understand, the victim was a member of patriot prayer. They are one of those groups that moved into my area that are bad news (though I'm not convinced these ones are white supremacist, just violent).

It's sad. The level of tribalism is getting out of hand. I remember when Portland used to be similar to Seattle, just a little more quirky and friendly. Now, it's like gangland between idiots like antifa and the proud boys. For the past few years violent protests have been breaking out between these factions there. Now, it seems they are going from beatings to killings.

Considering the people literally celebrating Kyle Rittenhouse killing protesters, I find it odd that people are claiming "BLM is celebrating" when you see none of that rhetoric here. To reference the last thread about protesters being murdered, this thread will not likely be locked due to people joking about the murder of this man.

There were news reports of counterprotesters driving around shooting people with paint ball guns and attacking protesters in Portland. We will need to see if this murder is related to that or if the shooting was unrelated.

You mean the guy who was being chased by terrorists and shot his gun in self-defense?

I said "BLM is celebrating". Because they did. I did not say that "Members of CF are celebrating". Because if any are, they've got the good sense to not be public about it.

Eh... I'd hold back and wait for more info on this one. There's more going on than what's come to light, yet. These folks there who claim to be BLM are the same folks who've been fighting in the streets there in the name of antifa.

What probably happened (from what I know of the area) is that they proably recognized the guy on the streets (similar to a blood recognizing a crip) and shot him down. That's what Portland has been turning into for a while now, IMO. This whole thing is stupid...

If anyone celebrates this, they are worse than a bad person; they're a mind slave. They're the same kind of people who celebrated when James Fields ran over people at Charlottesville; just wearing blue bandanas instead of red ones.

Keep on spinning if you wish.

Making claims like BLM is celebrating is completely ridiculous, but is par for course. If there were pages of social media posts claiming the protester "got bit" or news hosts saying the shooter was justified a la Tucker Carlson, then your words would have more weight. Instead we just have ridiculous hyperbole that attempts to take the actions of an individual and say the entire group is at fault... well, until it's a right-wing zealot pulling the trigger.

I've mentioned this before, but the trick of using a semantically-overloaded name to insulate oneself from criticism only works for so long before enough people catch on, or you burn enough bridges (figuratively and literally) and people get fed up with it.

The tactic works for a while... AntiFa can do whatever nonsense it is they do, and initially, people will be afraid to criticize them because they'll use the line "Oh, so you're opposing Anti-fascism, so that must mean you're pro-fascism!" It's basically a combination of word-play and gaslighting.

If BLM just meant "Black Lives Matter" and was exclusively about police reform, and AntiFa just meant "Anti-fascist", and didn't come bundled up with a bunch of other ideological baggage, public opinion of their groups would still probably be pretty high. ...and both of those groups keep expanding their additional ideological baggage instead of scaling it back.


Using a name that represents a noble-sounding, single-threaded purpose, but then sneaking a bunch of other baggage in there with it, then accusing people of being against that noble purpose when they criticize the group for the baggage isn't a new tactic.

PETA has been using that playbook for decades. In name only, PETA and the ASPCA sound like they're for all the same things, but anyone familiar with those two organizations knows that's not the case.

I stated in a previous thread, it's about time that the movements to promote police reforms, correct racial injustices, and oppose right-wing extremism need to have a reasonable "ASPCA" as a reasonable alternative to BLM's/Antifa's "PETA".

...so would a large group of people laughing and cheering when a BLM organizer grabbed a megaphone after the incident, and said "I just found out the person that got shot was a Patriot Prayer person...they were a ____ Nazi! I'm not sad that a _____ fascist died tonight", "we can take the trash out on our own", to and overwhelming applause and audible laughter from the rest of the protesters with her, not count as at least some of the group celebrating the killing?

But if people are doubting the existence of that video (and I see people in the thread are claiming "it's baseless without proof", I'd be more than happy to PM the links if they feel they need to see the videos for verification"

And the organizer saying the things I mentioned above afterwards...

Can't link them directly, as they both have language, and the first actually shows the murder up close.

It is impressive that the people, or even the whole world, do not have seen that the man rider red horse is already running and doing what he has to do in the earth-Revelation 6:v.4. By the way, the mysterious rider of the white horse is also running on the earth. If there is some Christian or believer that do not believe in this assertion, pray to the Lord JESUS and ask Him if this is true or not. I'm sure you will have an answer from Him.

In Christ JESUS, KING of kings(kings made by Him), and LORD of lords

No, the guy who was pointing his gun at unarmed bystanders, threatening to shoot them.

facebook.com/joey.koepp/posts/10157053537182191

Someone's Facebook page isn't exactly a credible source.

With everyone having camera phones, not a single person was able to record that part of the interaction that this Joey guy is claiming to have been a part of?

A quick look at this guy's facebook page would indicate that he's either an exaggerator, or "the most interesting man in history"

He claims to have been personally assaulted by multiple cops...every 4th post is a pic of the communists fist with "join the revolution", "I recorded the cops doing this illegal thing but they stole my phone" yada yada yada...

Let me guess, he was also in the CIA?

Not to mention, things like this:
upload_2020-8-30_21-3-29.png


He and his friends also have a low bar for "hero".

It's one thing to say that Kyle was an unstable kid who never should've been in that situation to begin with... I'd agree with that.

But two things can be true at once.

Getting shot by an unstable person doesn't make one a hero.

One was a child sex offender
One had a felony for 2 instances of carrying a firearm while intoxicated
One had a felony and two instances of domestic abuse.

A pedophile and wife-beater getting killed by an unstable guy doesn't automatically elevate them to "hero" status.

By that logic, if Jeffrey Epstein chased Kyle down the street and tried to hit him with a skateboard, he'd be a "hero"

Videos of Rosembaum "JoJo" from earlier in the night show what an obnoxious dude he was, the spousal abuser (who was charged with attempted strangulation) was the one trying to hit kyle with a skateboard, and Gaige was the one who (like kyle) wasn't legally allowed to be carrying a firearm either (but was) due to the fact that he had a felony for carrying one while intoxicated on two prior events.

If it's true why can't you "post it here"? It is baseless without proof.

Because it (the content) violates the following rule
