On August 29, Aaron Danielson, a member of Patriot Prayer and a Trump-supporter, joined a caravan of Trump-supporters that headed into Portland. When Antifa- and Black Lives Mattersupporters violently attacked the caravan, Danielson and his friends were among those who tried to protect the caravan.
A video showed rioters chasing and trapping the Patriot Prayer members. Then, out of nowhere, Michael Reinoehl shot Danielson, killing him. Even though he was identified, Reinoehl remained free, even going so far as to give a self-exculpatory interview to Vice News on Thursday night. And then, just a few hours later, the news broke that Reinoehl had died in a shootout with marshals who had come to arrest him. It's worth walking back in time to understand the events that led to Reinoehl's death.
Immediately after Reinoehl shot Danielson on the 29th, the media worked to portray the pro-Trump parade participants and the Patriot Prayer group as violent white supremacists. That was anything but true. The afternoon started with ordinary Trump-supporters driving in a parade of cars up to and into Portland. A retired police officer and Trump-supporter explained to Victoria Taft that it was a happy, upbeat event until the cars entered downtown Portland:
"It was great until we hit downtown Portland and the Antifa/BLM crowd realized what was happening. I was towards the front, but the lines of vehicles went for miles. Once BLM/Antifa realized what was happening, they gathered their numbers and the latter half was attacked with rocks, their car windows were broken, even with children in the car. And then the violence really started, ending with the shooting and killing of a patriot that was wearing a thin blue line flag on a pouch."
That patriot who was killed was Aaron "Jay" Danielson.

Payback like this needs to be ten fold.

the mayor MET with the perp and the perp’s daughter
the night before the slaughter.
why is the mayor free?
Good riddance to a murdering psychopath....
It quickly became known that Michael Reinoehl had killed Danielson. Although white, Reinoehl was so invested in BLM that he had the BLM fist tattooed on his neck. He also despised Donald Trump and the police. For some reason, the Portland police made no effort to arrest him.
On Thursday night, Reinoehl let Vice News interview him. In the interview, he claimed that he was defending a black friend from Danielson, an allegedly crazed racist with a knife:
The problem is that Danielson wasn't a crazed racist. He was a non-racist patriot:

Because the murder was in Portland, there was no telling how the über-liberal Multnomah County D.A., Mike Schmidt, would have handled the case if the local police had arrested Reinoehl. He might not have pressed charges, and even if he did press charges, a Portland jury might have felt that killing a Trump-supporter was justified.
However, events took away that concern. As of this writing, Andy Ngo, who knows these things, tweeted out that Reinoehl died in a shootout with the U.S. Marshalls who had come to arrest him:
Michael Forest Reinoehl, who killed Portland Trump supporter Aaron Danielson, died in Lacey, Wash. My sources are telling me U.S. Marshalls went to arrest him.— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) September 4, 2020
Antifa accounts in their secret group chatrooms are calling the killing of antifa shooter Michael Reinoehl a police "execution."
AARON DANIELSON
Michael Reinoehl, Portland shooter and murderer
I hope he died in agonizing pain.

WTF???
If so, this guy was likely fairly high up in the BLM/Antifa hierarchy, and the Mayor knows who a lot of these people are.
100% pantyfa, 100% DOA!
yes but what of those in power in tax payer funded offices and court benches who clearly allowed this man back on the streets in order to continue his “social justice” on their bahalf.
What of these demons?
oh another thing HOW DARE the media especially FNC keep calling the peaceful ,law abiding, DECENT man who was killed a “FAR RIGHT WINGER” as if he was some storm trooping Nazi out trying to kill and cause mayhem when he was just a normal CONSERVATIVE man.
He shouldn’t have fired 40 to 50 rounds at the marshals.
If so, this guy was likely fairly high up in the BLM/Antifa hierarchy, and the Mayor knows who a lot of these people are.

Something has to be done with these loons IDGAF if they’re loved by their voters. THEY ARE WILLINGLY PROMOTING murder and terrorism to push a political ideology and silence another. THIS is NOT legit form of protest or opposing ideas.
In a city where law still operates they would try to arrest the rest of the hit squad that tracked Mr. Donaldson down and killed him.
This appears to be Portland in a nutshell. Rabid leftist democrats supported by their rabid leftist government.
I have no pity for the businesses that wallowed in the communist utopia of Portland, voted for their Democrat overlords, and now are standing in front of their burned out stores. They will STILL vote for the Democrats or Antifa politicians who will continue the escalating horror of socialism and its war against working citizens.
Let it burn, but any of the poison that escapes the smoldering ruins should be wiped up before it kills another community.
It was a Mostly Peaceful Arrest of an Antifa goon....now a completely peaceful corpse.

No, this was not a good outcome.
1. Antifa and BLM have had great success at “waving the bloody shirt” and making martyrs out of wildly inappropriate people. Just look at George Floyd, a thug that died of a Fentanyl overdose, and Jacob Blake, a rapist who was threatening his victim. Reinoehl is, fortunately, white, but he has the potential for being yet another martyr.
2. The Feds killing this scumbag will be spun as “tit for tat.” Kyle Rittenhouse killed two Antifas, Reinoehl “100% Antifa” killed a patriot in retaliation, and now Feds killed the Reinoehl. Look for some jackass to try to kill Federal officers or more patriots.
3. We miss out on the discovery phase of Reinoehl’s trial. There are a lot of important things that need to made public about Antifa - leadership, financing, etc. No trial, no discovery.
I understand that there was no choice - it sounds like the jerkwad sprayed an entire magazine at the Marshals before they were able to shoot him, but this was not a good thing, just a necessary one.
In truth, I think the current problems are only going to be solved by violence, but, when the violence comes, it must be overwhelming and there must be no doubt as to whom the good guys are.
VICE should be charged with something. They got to this guy before the authorities. And they protected him.
It's a start.
