Weapons Are Drawn at 'Free Palestine' Rally in Oregon
Epoch Times ^ | 10/23/23 | Scottie Barnes

With tensions growing around the Israeli-Hamas war, police arrested a man who fired a “splatter ball gun” into a crowd marching in support of Palestinians in Eugene, Oregon, on Oct. 21.

Protesters drew weapons in response and the Eugene Police Department (EPD) stepped in to disarm and de-escalate the tense situation.

According to EPD, approximately 200 protesters gathered near the Federal Courthouse on Oct. 21 for a “Free Palestine Rally.”

Participants carried signs with messages that called for a “ceasefire now” and urged President Joe Biden to stop “funding genocide.”

At about 3:15 p.m., the group began to march.

The incident began when the driver of a pickup stopped at an intersection, reportedly blocking the protesters. The driver, later identified as 51-year-old Jonathan James Wisbey, engaged the crowd and a verbal altercation ensued.

As police closed in on the intersection, protesters surrounded Mr. Wisbey’s pickup and slashed one of his tires.

Mr. Wisbey then exited his vehicle and shot a splatter ball into the crowd.

Do not bring a paintball gun to a gunfight.

I’m probably ok with that fight having gotten serious.

I live in Eugene.

AntiFa and the Anti-Israel scum pretty much have free rein to run wild in the city, courtesy of the Eugene Police acting as the enforcement arm of the thug liberal politicians here; but, conservatives and patriots are harassed and given no such leeway as the freaks are given.

My policy is and shall remain: if I ever see an EPD officer being beaten or killed, I will dial 9-11 and walk away. My concealed carry weapon will remain concealed.

The local sheriff and deputies, I would defend to my fullest ability.

With the woman I love being a cop (nowhere near Eugene), it hurts to hear that. But, she and her Texas suburb department are honorable and probably even more disgusted than us by these corrupt departments.
