txnativegop suggests that this is infighting within the leftist group. It does look that way, especially as all his friends have been told not to speak to the media and to erase messages.
But the low-key police response is also surprising. Why no progress in the investigation, and a description of the suspects? Was that car they were driving their own car? If so, who are they? Or, if it was stolen, from where?
Is this a case of police agents within Antifa? Was the dead man, himself, an agent? Anything is possible.
an undercover would make himself sound like the most extreme person just to gain entry. Sheesh it might like the radical groups in ‘60’s where almost the entire were FBI agents or their snitches. LOL
IT'S PORTLAND! Red Ted Wheeler, the mayor/police commissioner, cut a deal with Antifa, three years ago. Antifa doesn't start fires, break windows, trash cars. In return, the Portland PD goes blind to any felonies when Antifa "bashes the fash" This is just a another felony that the Portland Pigs choose to ignore.
By now, the Portland PD is so far in the hole to Leftist terrorists, they CAN'T investigate. They are already 100+ understaffed, because all the honest LEOs quit. Danielle Outlaw, the former Police Chief, quit in an effort to pretend that "she knows nothing!" (She moved to Philly, noted for it's honest administration.)
After Red Ted loses the next election, it will be interesting to see if his Socialist successor gets a case of the "I'm shockeds!" and tries to clean things up.
This scumbag actively advocated for the killing of police. I doubt they lose much sleep over his demise.
