A 60 year-old Antifa activist was shot dead by a far-right furry while blocking traffic at a Black Lives Matter rally in Portland, it was claimed.
June Knight was shot in the head at point-blank range on Saturday at Normandale Park when the suspect, named as Benjamin Jeffrey Smith, 43, walked up to her and a group of protesters and shot her in the head at close range.
Smith is a machinist who is said to have posted regularly on far-right forums, backed Kyle Rittenhouse and moaned about crime in Portland also shot four other women, it is claimed. He is also said to be a member of the furry community, who dress up in cartoonish animal outfits and attend gatherings together.
After Smith allegedly shot and killed Knight, he was himself shot by another marcher who was armed. That marcher was arrested, but has since been freed by police, and has not been identified.
Smith remains critically-ill in hospital. The group who were marching did so to commemorate Patrick Kimmons, a black man shot and killed by Portland Police in 2018.
Knight's wife Katherine Knapp said her late spouse would have reasoned with Smith and tried to de-escalate the situation.
'She would have been the one talking to him, to deescalate things,' she told the Oregonian. 'She was really good at that and trying to be human with him and trying to understand.'
Knightly, who was also known as T-Rex, was a mother to a grown-up son who was a longtime LGBT rights activist. She had survived from two rounds of cancer, her wife Katherine Knapp told the Oregonian, and was using a cane to get around while she waited on a knee replacement. She was also partially retired and operated a vape store is southeast Portland.

The Nazis were notorious homosexuals.
I got in an argument with one here on FR.
It was weird.
Why would an Antifa person shoot another lefty?
Sounds like he got real tired of the riots and threats in P-Town. The place is a dumpster fire and he snapped.
Best guess is she stopped him on his way home from work and he went off. Nobody wants to live in that part of town especially during riot season.
The person who shot the “furry” was released and not identified. And an “atta boy” from the DA I’m sure.
“Far-right Furry”
LOL!
🤔
Have I been away that long?
I don’t even UNDERSTSAND this thread!!
Lead poisoning?
The “far-right” shooter was furrious.
You're right about that, these Marxist agitators are knowingly Decoys and they operate to distract situational awareness so the armed and armored Antifa Thugs can blindside from ambush.
Truly Cowards, in every sense of the word.
All information as to what allegedly happened comes from Antifa. Be skeptical.
We have or had at least one here on FR. He happily chatted about it. It was on some thread about it but I’ve forgotten which now. It’s what the smh acronym was invented for.
no we’re just as bewildered
“This is what happens when people no longer have to work to keep from starving.”
Truth.
Because they were not from one of the currently approved factions.
Leftists kill each other when they run out of "right-wing" opponents.
