The post Portland’s Antifa gunman appeared to target victim, police say appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>The avowed Antifa supporter who was a suspect in the killing of a Patriot Prayer member during a clash of opposing groups in Portland, Ore., last Saturday appeared to be targeting the victim prior to the shooting, according to court documents unsealed Friday.
Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, allegedly hid in a parking garage, waiting for Aaron “Jay” Danielson, 39, and another Patriot Prayer member, the documents say, according to OregonLive.com.
Reinoehl, who claimed online to be a “100 % ANTIFA” anti-fascist and said he worked security for Black Lives Matter protests, then allegedly shot at Danielson twice, hitting him once in the chest and killing him.

Then on Thursday, Reinoehl himself was fatally shot by a federal fugitive task force who tracked the suspect to Lacey, Wash., about 120 miles north of Portland, when he tried to elude arrest on second-degree murder charges, authorities have said. Reinoehl “produced a handgun” during the arrest but it was unclear if he fired at officers, police said.
District Attorney Mike Schmidt in Multnomah County, Ore., which includes Portland, said Friday that authorities “still do not have a full understanding” of the circumstances of Reinoehl’s death, according to the Seattle Times.
“The apprehension of a fugitive, in particular one under investigation for murder, is especially dangerous for law enforcement,” he said, adding he was, “thankful that no one else was injured or killed.”

The affidavit also said Reinoehl texted his son on Aug. 7.
“Sell me the gun for a quarter pound of weed and $100 I’m getting tired of this s— I need a piece now,” the message said, according to OregonLive.com.

The court documents are backed up by a sworn officer statement that says security footage from the parking garage shows Reinohel targeting Danielson.
The security footage allegedly shows Reinoehl go into the garage after spotting Danielson and the other man. After Danielson passes by, Reinoehl comes out and follows the pair.
Reinoehl “conceals himself, waits and watches” Homicide Detective Rico Beniga writes in the probable cause affidavit.
“The shooting occurs shortly thereafter and is not captured on the surveillance video,” Beniga writes, according to the Times. Danielson was pronounced dead at the scene.
After reviewing footage shot by a live streamer, Beniga said it appears Reinoehl shot a can of bear spray that Danielson was carrying, sending the substance spraying.
While searching Reinoehl’s home, investigators found ammunition that matched the caliber of the bullet that killed Danielson and the clothes he wore that night but no gun, according to OregonLive.com.

In a Thursday interview posted on the Vice website, Reinoehl had claimed he killed Danielson in self-defense.
“I had no choice,” he said, adding he and a friend were about to be stabbed by Danielson and the other Patriot Prayer member. “I mean, I, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn’t going to do that.”
The footage allegedly shows Reinoehl raise his right arm toward Danielson then he’s seen running away.

]]>The post Ted Wheeler: Portland’s left wing turns on mayor appeared first on Virus Reports.
]]>Left-wing groups in Oregon demanded Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler resign after the death of a right-wing protester over the weekend, saying Mr. Wheeler has allowed the city to spiral out of control.
Portland’s Democratic Socialists of America, Oregon’s chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Portland’s Resistance and other groups said they feel Mr. Wheeler has sided with the right wing folks over them.
They lamented the man killed Saturday — a member of the right-wing Patriot Prayer organization, according to fellow members — but said his death after a day of clashes between the right and left was Mr. Wheeler’s fault.
“What took place last night was inevitable given Mayor Wheeler’s repeated failures. He has not protected or supported Portlanders. We do not have confidence in his ability to course-correct. He must resign,” the groups said.
The city has seen three months of near-nightly violence, mostly at the hands of a couple hundred demonstrators who have been marching alongside a broader Black Lives Matter movement.
They’ve targeted government buildings, particularly those related to law enforcement, and have smashed windows, sprayed graffiti and lit small fires, while engaging in confrontations with police.
Over the last two weekend right-wing activists have conducted their own daytime protests, sparking clashes with left-wing demonstrators.
After a massive right-wing vehicle caravan Saturday, the Patriot Prayer member was killed.
The left-wing groups said Mr. Wheeler has allowed police to use harsh tactics on the BLM protesters, including tear gas.
“He has spent his entire tenure pretending he occupies the middle ground between the far left and the far-right when in reality, he and his police have sheltered and encouraged far-right violence,” the groups said. “He has exacerbated tensions in Portland, giving fuel to right-wing vigilante violence who, in answering the mayor’s call to ‘rise up,’ felt justified in their violent actions.”
Mr. Wheeler, in a press conference Sunday, said he defends the right to protest on all sides. But said that cannot be allowed to become violent. He blamed President Trump for stoking animosity.
Mr. Trump, meanwhile, blames Democratic mayors and governors, and says the pockets of unrest will spread if Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden wins in November. Mr. Biden counters that the current unrest is happening under Mr. Trump.
Mr. Wheeler is running for re-election this year. He failed to cross the 50% threshold in the city’s open primary this spring, and now faces a challenge from the far left in November.
Political observers say given that matchup Mr. Wheeler, a liberal Democrat, could end up benefitting from Republicans’ votes.

]]>The death of George Floyd triggered a wave of protests and violent mayhem across the country as demonstrators demanded justice and a reckoning against racial injustice and police brutality.
In Portland, Oregon’s largest city, those demonstrations have raged for six weeks straight, and local businesses have reported $23 million in losses due to looting and rioting that have gripped its downtown area since the end of May.
Demonstrators have been seen lighting mattresses on fire and setting off fireworks in the streets.
PORTLAND POLICE DECLARE A RIOT DURING ANOTHER NIGHT OF UNREST IN THE CITY
Just this weekend, a federal officer protecting a closed courthouse was struck in the head and shoulder with a hammer as protesters attempted to break down the court’s door. The courthouse suffered an estimated $50,000 in damages, according to KGW.

Jacob Michael Gaines, 23, of Texas, was arrested for the assault on the officer.
Amid the unrest, federal officers were called into the city to protect federal properties including the Mark. O Hatfield Federal Courthouse, Pioneer Courthouse, the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building and Terry Schrunk Plaza.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security deployed more than a half-dozen law enforcement agencies and departments, with officers from the U.S. Marshalls, the Federal Protective Service and U.S. Customs and Border Protection rotating protection services throughout the city.

However, the violence has no apparent end in sight, and it remains unclear who is responsible for helping organize and supply protesters as they continue to wreak havoc in the streets – most recently focusing on federal property.

Local officials have criticized federal law enforcement and even President Trump for the havoc. Meanwhile, one group of anti-capitalist, anti-fascist teens who call themselves the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front has used social media to organize throughout the city.
The Seattle Times reported the group uses social media to promote rallies, provide rioters with tactical advice and offer commentary on the gatherings that have led to clashes with police. Its goal is to upend the U.S. political system.

On an unverified Twitter page attributed to the group – which has amassed more than 21,000 flowers – shared a post on Monday that said: “The Feds and Portland Police are very quickly finding out that if they build a fortress and use literal siege tactics, the People will put their f—ing fortress under siege.”
Early Tuesday morning, the Portland Police Department – which is banned by a temporary federal court order from using tear gas unless they declare a riot – took to Twitter to declare the situation in the streets had once again devolved into a riot scenario outside the city’s police union headquarters. The city’s police bureau has declared a riot multiple times before federal officers showed up to assist.
The department warned those who refused to disperse would be subject to arrest, tear gas or impact weapons. It shared images of the objects thrown at officers – including paint, ball bearings, and glass bottles.
ANTI-FASCIST GROUP SEEN AS PLAYING BIG ROLE IN PORTLAND UNREST: REPORT
Last week, Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis said an “agitator corps” of violent protesters were responsible for the vandalism and chaos in the city – which has been ready to reopen for weeks after the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns.
Davis pledged support for the Black Lives Matter movement and its nonviolent protests, and condemned the separate group of dangerous and sophisticated vandals causing the “mayhem.”
“There’s a very big difference between protests and the kind of mayhem that we see every night,” he said. “You’re going to hear me make a lot of effort not to refer to what we’re talking about here as protests because protests and this are two different things.”
He said last week that more than 100 people – both city employees and the public – have sustained injuries throughout the demonstrations.
Among those injured was Donovan LaBella, 26, who collapsed to the ground unconscious and bleeding profusely from the head after he was hit by a less-lethal round outside the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse.

Video recorded by bystanders shows LaBella standing with both arms in the air holding a large speaker across the street from the courthouse when he was hit. His mother told Oregon Public Broadcasting that her son underwent surgery on Sunday after suffering facial and skull fractures.
“I want to make it very clear so that there’s no confusion,” Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said. “The serious injuries sustained by Donavan LaBella at the hands of a federal officer were unacceptable.”
The U.S. Marshals Service has launched an investigation into the incident.
Wheeler, a Democrat, accused President Trump on Monday of escalating the situation in his city with his “heavy-handed tactics” which “led to a serious injury and enflamed an already tense situation.”
The remarks came after Trump earlier in the day said federal officers “very much quelled” the violence seen in Portland over the weekend.
“We’ve done a great job in Portland. Portland was totally out of control. They went in and I guess they have many people right now in jail. We very much quelled it. If it starts again, we’ll quell it again, very easily. It’s not hard to do,” Trump said at a White House roundtable on law enforcement.
At a press conference later Monday, Wheeler said he wants the federal agents in his city to “deescalate the situation, not add to an already highly volatile situation. He said he had no problem with federal officers protecting their facilities.
“What I have a problem with is them leaving the facilities and going out onto the streets of this community and then escalating an already tense situation as they did the other night,” he said. “I would consider telling them to leave — and I have no authority to do so.”
Portland police Chief Chuck Lovell also addressed a recent uptick in shootings and homicides across the city – without claiming the violence was associated with the unrest in the city brought by riots. Portland witnessed a 380 percent increase in shootings over the past year. Five homicides occurred within a 24 hour period this weekend.
“Each of these numbers represents a human being, we must not lose sight of that,” Lovell said at the same press conference. “Five victims of homicide within 24 hours is staggering.”

Addressing rumors on social media, Portland Police said that one of those homicide victims, 28-year-old Dominique Marcel Dunn, who was gunned down on a city street corner Thursday, did not appear to be targeted because he was Black.
The agency said that “Detectives interviewed multiple witnesses to this crime and there is no information at this time to support race was a factor that played a role in this case.”
