This should be interesting. I suspect that Portland antifa is going to have an issue with this since, as it appears, it was US Marshall service that took him out. It probably doesn't matter if this guy had a bomb strapped to his chest and an M2 rocking and rolling in the living room when the cops showed up. It's pretty much a given that the narrative will be "unnecessary force, he was innocent, he didn't do anything, you guys are nazis, it's Trump's fault" etc.

Meh. He was a lunatic who had one useful moment after a lifetime of drug abuse and poor raising of his kids.

Totally not blaming the cops for this. Even his own family says he was bug****.

Antifa should be designated a terrorist organization.

Or the feds involved will be accused of being white supremacists exacting revenge.

What a mess that article is. IMO, alot of bull****, from dead shooter and others.

NYT...not sure they researched a bit of that, it's awfully fast to publish something like that.

Damn...well, no one can accuse me of being partisan...if I smell BS, I call it out, no matter what the source.

IMO the NYT jumped in with mostly garbage at this point.


This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

Bingo. Something is off.

Friendly reminder that Kyle Rittenhouse called 911 to report the shooting he's been charged with, and voluntarily turned himself in to police. That's what an innocent person does. Innocent people don't attempt to kill even more people just because they got into some trouble.

This is not good. My conspiracy bells are ringing. Something is way off. Something more is afoot.

What do you mean? Do you think this is part of a larger scheme or plan?

I can't read the NYT article; however, $.30 of lead is much better than millions of dollars to house this douche in a state/federal prison. I notice the main stream media is referring to him as a "racial justic protester" as opposed to a cold-blooded murderer. Despicable.

I notice how any pro US or pro patriotism group is described as “far right” but no protests or activism are ever described as “far left.”

AP source: Suspect in Portland death killed by investigators

Reinoehl also was wanted on a warrant out of Baker County in Eastern Oregon, where court records show he skipped a hearing related to a June case in which he has been charged with driving under the influence of controlled substances, reckless driving, reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Police said he drove on an interstate at up to 111 mph, with his daughter in the car, while racing his 17-year-old son, who was in a different vehicle.

Seems he followed that up with at least two weapons related incidents in July.

I have been checking Twitter and am seeing close to ZERO support for this guy. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking for on Twitter but that just seems really weird and, frankly, a little bit ominous.

“Innocent”

:lol:

So if a criminal tries to turn themselves in after committing a crime, they are “innocent” now? Too funny :lol:

Well both Rittenhouse and Reinoehl claimed self defense but only acted like they really believed it.

Innocent people don’t murder people. The fact that he said “look what I did” to the police doesn’t absolve him.

You obviously haven’t been paying attention.

I thought it was, until the man ended up dead. Whatever plans there were are, shot now. No pun intended.

Because you don't know what words mean, and left organizations are the pro-US organizations, right-wing are the anti-US. Just because they're for PARTS of the US, like the rich and a lot of criminals like trump, doesn't make them pro-US.

My main comment right now is that I hope they got video of the incident, so we can determine whether the suspect was at fault or the police, and I think it's inexcusable if they did not.

Except that it isn't an 'organisation' and there is no entity called 'Antifa'. Good luck with that.

Oh yes there is. The man who was killed in this OP belonged to them, no matter how much your propaganda ministry pretends they dont exist.

If it was an organization, that might even be possible.

Oh they exist alright. The man in this OP is a prime example of who they are.

Ok, so who is the leader doing the organising? See the clue is in the word 'organisation'.
