Competing rallies between supporters of Black lives and pro-police, pro-Trump crowds raised tensions across Oregon Saturday. A person was shot in downtown Portland during a pro-Trump caravan through the city Saturday night, according to multiple reports from journalists on social media.

Videos of the scene from Southwest 3rd Avenue and Alder Street show medics attending to a victim on the ground. No further details were immediately available.

Any American that casts his or her vote for any Democrat Party Traitor/Turncoat is either stoned high on reefer or just simply insane!!! Case Closed!!!

Hard to believe the victim was walking around Portland, basically what appeared to be alone, with a blue line supporter patch and patriot prayer hat on. I wouldn’t do that unless I had some real muscle with me.

[dragnet2]

If that’s accurate, no surprise. These people obviously want a shooting war or to escalate it. Begging for it.

Would you shoot a Biden/BLM/Antifa supporter just because of the clothes he/she wore?

If not, why not?

/you have your answer

I’m not sure what that has to do with my comment, but no I wouldn’t unless I was being attacked. Why do you ask?

Because decent, sane, moral humans do not arbitrarily kill others just because they disagree with their political position.

My point is, wholly and solely, that these people are rabid maniacs.

It’s pointless to attempt to assign logic to anything they do.

The antfay was looking to kill someone from the other side and he did.

[Salamander]

I have NO idea why this is even up for discussion anymore.

It was a HIT on a conservative.

The end.

[dragnet2]

If that’s accurate, it looks like a hit, or flat out murder unless they find the victim was armed as he walked towards the shooter. The video is not good enough to determine that. Did they find a weapon where the victim fell, I have no idea. If not, it’s flat out murder.

[grey_whiskers]

Because there’s a troll on the thread desperately trying to make every attempt possible to blame the victim.

[dragnet2]

Btw, I’m not trying to find logic in any of this. Read my comments. I’m only relaying what I observed after reviewing the enlarged video, frame by frame. For me, it’s all about the available evidence.

[dragnet2]

If you’re referring to me, say so. Don’t play games.

Video slowed down and zoomed in

There ya, pretty clear what happened.

[grey_whiskers]

You said the Prayer Patriot advanced threateningly.
You also said he shot first.

You’re the one playing games, troll.

[dragnet2]

Btw, you’re the one who was convinced the shooter was the guy on the skateboard. No?

[dragnet2]

You also said he shot first.

I'm a troll huh? Lets see ya quote me with a post # where I stated the victim shot first. Put up or shut up slick.

[Salamander]

I can’t imagine his people having to watch him murdered, over and over and over again.

I can’t watch it again, myself.

[grey_whiskers]

I think your wires are shorting out. Several of us have watched it close up, frame by frame, the shooter appears to stop in the street and shoot the victim, who's about 15' from the shooter, walking right towards the shooter in what appeared to be possibly a threatening manner. The victim took a round nearly point blank in the chest, within about 10-15'. The victim turns away from the shooter, takes about 6 steps, and collapses. The shooter runs off to the right side of the frames and out of sight. Btw, my first thought was the shooter looked like a hood rat. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

This post -- or so I thought; I misread the line after

who's about 15' from the shooter, walking right towards the shooter in what appeared to be possibly a threatening manner.

I saw the threatening and conflated that with the "turns away from the shooter."

...I also actually read a couple of your other posts just now.

Troll accusation *rescinded*.

WTF? How did it get to be 3:30 AM? That settles it, I'm off to sleep. (If I can, I'm busy worrying about the Dems finally getting the general melee they've been trying for.)
