Yesterday the "100% Antifa" fellow who had previously been identified from video as the shooter of the "Patriot Prayer" anti-Antifa protester in Portland several days ago broadcast an interview claiming he shot the Patriot Prayer fellow in self-defense. Last night U.S. Marshals tried to arrest him and returned fire when he began shooting at them. Now he's dead, too.
It's hard to find any coverage of the event that doesn't identify the Patriot Prayer guy as a "far-right protester." Maybe "far right" is fair, but it sure looks as though he was walking quietly down the street, having incautiously found himself separated from his friends, and was shot in cold blood after someone called out "We got two right here." I guess we'll never know what the self-defense argument was going to look like once it got developed.
No U.S. Marshals were injured.
It's the best possible outcome for the left- this whole story now just disappears down the memory hole.
ReplyDeleteNo one will be talking about it now.
He was walking down he street with bear mace in one hand and an expandable baton in the other.
ReplyDeleteThat's the minimum in self-protection I'd have wanted to be out on those streets with.
