July 19, 2022 at 12:08 pm PDT A Multnomah County circuit judge has dropped charges against Joey Gibson, the founder of Patriot Prayer, and Russell Schultz for their role in a 2019 street brawl outside a cider bar in Northeast Portland. A trial in the case of a third defendant, Mackenzie Lewis, will continue. Judge Benjamin Souede threw out the charges in court this morning, saying that prosecutors had failed to demonstrate that Gibson and Russell Schultz had engaged in “tumultuous and violent conduct,” one of the requirements for conviction on riot charges. “The state is trying to convict Mr....

If [Dolloff] was operating as a security guard, it was in violation of the law.

THE right-wing protester allegedly killed by a security guard during clashes with Antifa was shot dead in the head in front of his son.

30-year old Matthew Doloff was booked into the Denver jail system on charges of first-degree murder in the shooting of a Patriot Prayer demonstrator in the city’s Civic Center on Saturday. Doloff appears to have been in the service of a 9NEWS reporter as a private security guard when he shot and fired a conservative demonstrator. He had been involved in a minor scuffle with the thus unidentified victim before shooting him in the head, and the victim only used pepper spray against his assailant when Doloff pointed a gun at him. Doloff owns a farm and is affiliated with...

The United States has navigated its way through some tough obstacles, such as a civil war, a prolonged economic depression and two global conflicts. But how do we navigate around hate in the hearts of Americans who have no love for their fellow citizens? How does the country survive the mobs who hate the country itself? That’s the question that comes to mind following a callous and casual comment made by a woman in Portland, Oregon, about the murder of a conservative Christian during a riot in that city last month. Aaron “Jay” Danielson, with the pro-Trump group Patriot Prayer,...

The leader of the far-right group Patriot Prayer is suing the district attorney of the Portland, Oregon, region who is prosecuting them for rioting last year while refusing to charge left-leaning protesters who have been engaged in often violent demonstrations for months. Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson and Russell Schultz are due in court Oct. 26 for trials stemming from a May Day 2019 riot, The Oregonian reported. They were among six men accused of inciting a riot between the right-wing group and left-leaning Antifa outside a Northeast Portland pub. The other four pleaded guilty and were sentenced in January....

A Rhode Island professor with a history of incendiary comments against conservatives is under fire this week for appearing to suggest that the fatal shooting of a Patriot Prayer supporter during unrest in Portland last month was morally justified. The comment from Erik Loomis, a history professor at the University of Rhode Island, came in response to a comment on his blog post: “Why Was Michael Reinoehl Killed?” The post questioned whether police deliberately “murdered” 48-year-old Michael Reinoehl, the man who fatally shot Aaron “Jay” Danielson on Aug. 29, the night Trump supporters clashed with backers of Black Lives Matter...

Facebook Inc on Friday removed the pages of U.S. right-wing group Patriot Prayer and its founder Joey Gibson, a company spokesman told Reuters. Patriot Prayer has hosted dozens of pro-gun, pro-Trump rallies and attendees have repeatedly clashed with left-wing groups around Portland, Oregon, where one group supporter was killed this week. Facebook took down the pages as part of efforts to remove "violent social militias" from its social networks, spokesman Andy Stone said. The company updated its policies last month to ban groups that demonstrate significant risks to public safety. Its dangerous organizations policy now includes groups that celebrate violent...

Newly released stills from cctv show Michael Forest Reinoehl, with his hand on his weapon, lying in wait for Aaron Jay Danielson. Not quite self-defense as Reinoehl claimed in his Vice interview. Don’t forget the person who said “we got one right here.” There’s a clip of Reinoehl on the phone and he says “alright, I’m coming” shortly before the shooting. The chick in the dress with the stripes was standing around with Reinoehl just prior to the shooting. They were all in on it.

The New York Times appeared to downplay Portland suspect Michael Forest Reinoehl's ties to Antifa in its report about his fatal altercation with police. The Times was the first outlet to break the news that Reinoehl, 48, was shot dead by police after he had been accused of murdering a pro-Trump counterprotester last week, something he seemed to have acknowledged during an interview with Vice News. "Michael Forest Reinoehl, an antifa supporter, died when law enforcement went to arrest him, four officials said. He was being investigated in the fatal shooting of a member of a far-right group," the Times...

MSNBC host Joy Reid gave a full-throated defense of Black Lives Matter, insisting demonstrators pushing for racial justice don't riot and blaming President Trump for the violence she said is being fueled by "white nationalist mobs." Reid on Saturday shared a local Seattle report from June, suggesting that Black Lives Matter isn't responsible for the unrest because of the 81 arrests that were made at the time and included race in court documents, 32 were White and only eight of them were Black; in addition, more than 70 percent of those arrests were from outside the Seattle area. "Let me...

An ex-military man who calls himself “100% ANTIFA” and ready for “war” is being investigated over the deadly shooting of a President Trump supporter in Portland, according to a report. Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, is being investigated over the death of Aaron Danielson, a “supporter” of the right-wing Patriot Prayer group who was part of a caravan of Trump supporters who flooded the city Saturday, police sources told The Oregonian. He was identified in part to a distinctive tattoo on his neck of a “black power” fist — as well as a call from his estranged sister who recognized him...

One person was killed Saturday in Portland, Ore., amid unrest that rocked the city after police said a caravan of Trump supporters took to the streets and clashed with violent protesters. Police said they opened a homicide investigation after finding a man who had been shot in the chest and killed around 9 p.m. local time. A Getty images photo published Sunday showed the man wearing a hat from the far-right Patriot Prayer Group. The group’s leader, Joey Gibson, told The Wall Street Journal last month that he began holding rallies in Portland and other cities in 2016 because he...
