Portland Police say a prominent anti-fascist activist was killed early Saturday outside Cider Riot, a Northeast Portland club and a popular gathering spot for left-wing protestors.

Sean D. Kealiher, 23, was hit by an SUV a little after midnight. He had been at the club earlier in the evening. Friends drove him to the hospital, where he died.

Someone fired shots at the SUV after it hit Kealiher, and the vehicle crashed into the headquarters of the Oregon Democratic Party.

The hit and run is being investigated as a possible homicide

Antfia are terrorists...not gangs...terrorists who are defying the law and getting away with it. Who is in charge for Pete’s sake!

It’s possible the vehicle was stolen for this act.

".... That means when that picture was taken he was 19 or 20...."

What picture are you referring to? I didn't see one in the article.

“That is a lot of irony in one sentence.”

also, the article stated “that’s a lot of leftism in a small space”

"Dem HQ is just 500 FEET down the street from Cider Riot"

What a strange coincidence.

What do you mean 'descending into'? They've been there for the past 4 or 5 years with their level of violence only increasing proportionately.

At least as likely, is the possibility of internecine warfare amongst the Antifas themselves.

My first thought as well on reading the snippet.
Power and control and in their jealousy somebody, who has neither,
wants that for themselves or their friends and expects to be rewarded.

Same as it ever was.

The MSM lets the smearvof the right-wing hanG out there, and if we find it was another radical lefties, or a drunk illegal alien, the impression will still remain.

I think her case for faction fighting is much more compelling, but that’s only based on what we know about the behavior of both criminal and left-wing groups.

Probably. If it were PB or PP that ran him over, they'd have been caught and arrested by now. The cops likely determined quickly that it was infighting and stepped back.

ANTIFA = Rote Front

Same gang, same MO

Communist street thugs. In the current version, not as scary as German working class street fighters, but still a problem.

Yes, sometimes what doesn’t happen is more significant than what happens.

Infighting on the left is always good news.

Very similar to who trained the Red Army Faction.
They were trained by PLO terrorists working in Jordan.

Your thought is a good one.

Through history all militant groups like this have evolved into factions that vie for power based on their factional ideas of how to bring about the change or revolution.

Like the Bolsheviks, Fascists, and National Socialists in the 1920s through 1940s, they are all socialists. The just disagree on whose concept of socialism is the right one and how socialism should be implemented.

Antifa is spawned from those past factions, in particular the fascists. They are the domestic enemies along with their upfront supporters, the Democrat Party.
