One dead and five wounded in Portland shooting as protest takes place in park (Antifa rally)
The Guardian ^ | 02/20/22

One person was killed and five were wounded in a shooting at a park in Portland, authorities said.

The Portland police bureau said officers responded to a report of shots fired at Normandale Park on Saturday at about 8pm.

Officers found one woman dead and two men and three other women were taken to hospital, police said. Their conditions were not immediately known. Police did not immediately name anyone involved in the shooting.

Social media flyers showed there was a planned march for Amir Locke, a Black man who was fatally shot by police in Minneapolis, the same time the shooting took place, KOIN-TV reported.

The Oregon medical examiner was expected to identify the woman killed and determine the cause of death. An investigation was continuing.

Not much reporting here except that according to multiple threads on Twitter it appears someone opened fire on Antifa members. Damn shame.

Freedom Toons: Guns, Less Important Than Ever Before

“You said guns would protect our freedoms. And yet guns have stripped us of our freedom to burn down your store, our freedom to invade your suburb, and most sacred of all our freedom to beat you until you stop moving!”

It seems the Antifa Rally didn't go as planned.

We'll have to wait and see.

Oddly enough, a black male was booked into jail shortly after the shootings on murder and assault charges. Not certain yet if he was the shooter here.

Can you imagine the uproar if during Trumps term when the domestic terrorists blm and antifa were going mentaand literally deatroying townms and assaulting people, if Trump had declared emergency powers act like Justin did? The msm woild,have gone more out of,their minds than they already are, and immediate investigations woild have been launched for abuse of,power.

BUT if Biden were to do,what Justine did, the media would be talking about how necessary it was because “white supremacists were antagonizing blm and antifa and creating a dangerous atmosphere” or some such asinine nonsense

I have never understood why Antifa or BLM stage protests in cities where the alleged outrage did not occur. They should hie their asses to Minnesota to protest.

Who schedules a protest rally to start after dark in the dead of winter?

Criminals intent on looting. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a turf dispute over who gets to loot stores.

Did the rally even happen after the shooting, or did everyone go home because the cover crowd wasn’t big enough to support their planned riot.

“...someone opened fire on Antifa members.”

Would like to say this makes me sad, but I honestly don’t care. Antifa is comprised of Marxists, Anarchists, and leftists. They are the DNC’s foot soldiers with a significant portion of them being wealthy trust-fund types or middle-class white college kids.

It’s long past time for them to learn some of life’s hard truths. One of which is bad things will happen to you when you hang out with leftist/Marxist thugs, black racists/gangbangers and Anarchists. And the odds are pretty good that you may get shot or stabbed at their gatherings, or even worse for females, gang-raped. And although not often reported, all of those were common during the “mostly peaceful” BLM/Antifa riots.

But idiots gotta be idiots.

Thanks for the post. OregonLive buried their article. You have to do a search to find it.

I remember people like Andy Ngo doing video exposes back during the then-Trump Administration nightly Portland riots and protests by Antifa and BLM. He tracked them to a secluded encampment, fence-protected enclave down by the river in Portland.

It was bus-convenient to any place in Portland at which they wanted to ‘demonstrate.’ A ‘home’ away where they could rest, recuperate, rearm and stage the next attacks. Secure, Police-protected and convenience..... that’s what Portland offered. Probably still does.

And Portland used to be such a beautiful city…the speed at which they let it go to seed is breath-taking. No way I‘ll go near the place anymore…and I resent that it has to be this way. The Left ruins every thing it touches…no exceptions noted.

An event like this seems like a great opportunity to “drop a dime” on one gang against another gang. Tell both gangs that the other gang is going to make a big drug payoff to someone in the Antifa crowd.

All they need to do is figure out who has the cash, and then it’s like a no-rules football game to get it. The other side will be heavily armed and once “play begins” it’s open season.
