A Portland antifascist activist was killed in the early hours of Saturday in an apparent hit-and-run near Cider Riot, a cidery and taproom popular with the city’s anarchist left that has been the scene of conflict with rightwing groups.

According to the Portland Police Bureau, the car involved was fired upon and crashed into a nearby building. Its occupants fled the scene.

Police said in a statement that the 23-year-old victim, Sean D Kealiher, was taken to a local hospital by associates.

The Multnomah county medical examiner determined the cause of death to be homicide, caused by blunt force trauma. Police said homicide squad detectives would investigate and called on witnesses to come forward.

Kealiher was a prominent participant in antifascist and anti-Trump protests in Portland, speaking and marching in opposition to events held by rightwing groups. His activities occasionally attracted the attention of rightwing bloggers and social media personalities.

Wonder how much it would cost to send black roses?

[a fool in paradise]

Anarchists for law and order?

[Zathras]

Knowing Portland, I wonder if he rode a bicycle into on coming traffic.

I’m really tempted to say I wish all these Antifa scumballs would die like this, but I won’t.

[a fool in paradise]

Homicide or vehicular manslaughter as a result of an accident?

More protesters playing in the streets?

[EvilCapitalist]

I won’t cheer his death, but I certainly won’t shed a tear for him either.

Was he wearing his black antifa goon outfit and standing in the middle of the road?

[a fool in paradise]

Are police investigating which members of the Communist bloc FIRED SHOTS at the car?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Ummm, no.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Horst Wessel all over again.

Antifa is armed? And this sounds more and more like a gang. Maybe a leadership battle? Well, good news, one less terrorist to worry about.

[a fool in paradise]

The corrupt mayors and police in these Democrats controlled towns resemble the days when the Democrats shielded the KKK and lynch mobs from prosecution.

Anything to intimidate Republican voters (then and now).

[a fool in paradise]

Did the shooter bring a firearm into a bar/brewery (Cider Riot)?

Or was it left locked up in the glove box on a bicycle outside?

[I-ambush]

Are you expected to remain at the scene of the accident if you are being fired on? Don’t know if this is a “hit and run.”

[jagusafr]

Cue the hero/martyr crap...

[Carriage Hill]

Scoop-up some dog crap from the park, Ziploc it, and mail it to the funeral home.

[CondorFlight]

Don’t they have the license of the car?

Who fired a gun?

Was the victim targeted, or just random? Or was it an accident?

Lots of questions the police are not answering.

[a fool in paradise]

They abandoned the car but unless it was stolen the driver and passenger will soon be identified. ‘

Was this a DWI situation (since they crashed), injured by bullets, stroke?

[jonascord]

I’ve got a filling bladder. Where are they gong to bury him? Need to know, soon...

One down and so many to go and so little time.
