President Donald Trump appeared to support law enforcement officers who take criminal justice into their own hands after U.S. marshals killed a man suspected in a fatal shooting in Oregon last month. “There has to be retribution when you have a crime like that,” Trump said.
Trump’s apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killing came after members of a fugitive task force shot and killed Michael Forest Reinoehl, 39, a self-described anti-fascist, on Sept. 3. Reinoehl was wanted on suspicion of fatally shooting a member of a far-right group in Portland, Oregon, on Aug. 29.
“This guy was a violent criminal, and the U.S. marshals killed him, and I will tell you something, that’s the way it has to be,” Trump told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro, a former New York state judge, in an interview that aired Saturday.
Trump also appeared to suggest that law enforcement officers take similar action against demonstrators suspected of committing violent acts. He made his comments as protesters across the country demonstrate against racism and police brutality amid the police killings of Black Americans.
“You can’t throw bricks at guys with shields on them,” he said.
Reinoehl’s shooting death came the same day that Trump took to Twitter to call for Reinoehl’s arrest, calling him a “cold blooded killer.”
Authorities said that Reinoehl was armed and resisted arrest at the time he was shot to death. An investigation into the shooting continues.
One witness told The Washington Post that he never saw Reinoehl pull out a gun. Nate Dinguss said he saw officers pull up to Reinoehl in two unmarked police vehicles, get out without identifying themselves and immediately start firing their weapons at him.
But two other witnesses told The Olympian that they saw Reinoehl fire what they thought was an assault rifle at the unmarked SUVs after the vehicles pulled up to him.
A Thurston County Sheriff’s Office investigation has not yet determined whether Reinoehl fired, brandished or displayed a semiautomatic handgun that was reportedly found with him.
If Reinoehl threatened officers or posed a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to them, they would not need a reason to warn him before opening fire.

Such bullsht1 revisionist propaganda.
The HuffPoo endorses Democrats assassinating Republicans in cold blood because the Democrat claims to be “anti”-Fascist and not really a Fascist himself.
Oh, pizz on Nina Golgowski and the Huffington-Puffington Post. On the contrary, we need a few good Paul Kerseys on the streets, dealing out a little extrajudicial justice that the courts can’t seem to deliver. The headlines are ripe with stories of illegals and convicted felons who get kicked loose by the system, and they go out and murder someone else while they’re awaiting a court date for a previous violent crime. These are ferals who do not belong to the human species, as an existential matter.
Let’s start with that POS going after Flynn.

Oh, I misread that...
What about the other 9 people allegedly involved in the hit?
Just declare them to be ‘enemies of the state’. Nancy says it is OK then.
The gossiping hens of the Harridan Post strike again. I can’t imagine anyone but the usual baboon suspects seeing anything more than excruciating boredom in that site.

“One witness told The Washington Post that he never saw Reinoehl pull out a gun....”
I seem to recall reading that he had two semi automatic rifles and he fired over 100 rounds at federal officers.
So shooting and killing someone who is shooting at you, is now considered to be retribution by the left?
examples need to be made
100% certain most of this is AntiFa arson
I don’t care what the IBF says .Who & why they are covering up , God only knows .
Militia patrols , to the fore . Do what you got to do and be on your way .Nobody seen nothing....
““One witness told The Washington Post that he never saw Reinoehl pull out a gun....””
Was this the same witness who saw Mike Brown say “Hands up don’t shoot?”
I read that the reprobate initiated the fire fight. If you shoot at law enforcement officers there is a very good chance they will shoot you.
When you are a known killer and pull a gun on the cops who come after you and end up dead????
Saved society a ton of money and my ears the pain of listening to his rationalizations and excuses.
Attacks on sworn peace officers, local, state, or federal should be federal crime.
I bet their comment section is full of people wishing for the President to be killed, if it’s anything like “Polticalwire.com”.
Nina. You sound like a fool. Retribution is another word for “justice”, unless you are a fairy princess living in a well-guarded/moated castle in your mind.
In the vernacular, “retribution” is also known as “payback”. The left is promoting it right under your nose and you are to stupid to see it.
