Video captures deadly shooting of man in Patriot Prayer cap during Portland protests
New York Post ^ | August 30, 2020 | Elizabeth Rosner and Lee Brown

Shocking video captured the moment a man in a right-wing Patriot Prayer cap was shot dead in Portland after a day of violent clashes between President Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters.

Videographer Justin Dunlap was filming live late Saturday, casually noting new artwork on buildings as most of the day’s violence appeared to have ended when he suddenly turned toward shouting.

Two gunshots then rang out, a cloud of smoke appearing to show the gunman standing just a few feet in front of his target.

As a group of about a half-dozen shouted and fled, one of the other men started walking away — collapsing on the ground after a few steps, a panicked driver skidding to a halt just feet in front of him.

Several people rushed to help, and officers in riot gear — who say they heard the shots while policing the demonstrations — were there within minutes.

An Associated Press freelance photographer who heard three gunshots saw police medics working on the body of the victim, who appeared to be a white man. The freelancer said the man was wearing a hat bearing the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group whose members have frequently clashed with protesters in Portland in the past.

Police said the man was shot in the chest and was declared dead at the scene. He was not immediately identified.

It was not immediately clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as a caravan of about 600 vehicles with pro-Trump supporters was confronted by counter-demonstrators in the city’s downtown.

Dunlap said that the victim had earlier maced people, and someone could be heard on his video shouting that the victim was a “motherf—er who has been pushing people and jumping people the entire time.”

I wonder if the accusations against the victim are true. Even if they are, he does not seem to have been a threat at the time he was shot.

And yet not one peep from the mayor or the governor of Oregon condemning the shooting let alone the violence.

“I wonder if the accusations against the victim are true. Even if they are, he does not seem to have been a threat at the time he was shot.”

You go to a riot, there’s a strong likelihood things may not turn out well for you. Unless you decide it’s more fun watching the riots at home on a live stream; you don’t have to attend the insanity in person.

" Two gunshots then rang out, a cloud of smoke appearing to show the gunman standing just a few feet in front of his target." Smoke? Shots rang out? Poets' license much? 🤔

I am really hoping this does not become a tit for tat. This would be an opening for the liberal media and Democrats to try and blame some of this violence on Trump supporters and give them the narrative that they want.

Yep. Just sit home and let them have the entire stage and never push back.

Don't you dare do anything or you deserve to die.

Nice set of values you have there.

CNN have a garage sale?

“what I want to know is if the murderer was caught”
********************************************
Hell, I want to know if he’s even being sought. After all, they need to give him time to get rid of that Glock and thoroughly scrub the gunpowder residue from his body and clothes. /sadly, not sarcasm

This so-called videographer Dunlap who was supposedly just filming artwork needs to be interrogated and his cell phone seized. The feds need to subpeona the phone records of everyone who was in contact with the shooter. Antifa are coordinated and use various phone apps to communicate the locations of their next targets. You can hear people saying “we’ve got another one” right before the shots. This was an ambush.

“Dunlap said that the victim had earlier maced people, and someone could be heard on his video shouting that the victim was a “motherf—er who has been pushing people and jumping people the entire time.”

There is no evidence that the situation occurred in that manner.

Media fabrication.

Something about rioting and raising Hell always brings out the best people! I wonder what sort of criminal record the shooter has.

The 3 people the 17 year old shot in self-defense in Kenosha were busy rioting and adding to their past criminal convictions when they got themselves shot by Kyle. Really bad boys.

And now we have a bunch of happy murderers for socialism! Apparently, black lives don’t matter unless you first eff stuff up and kill someone who disagrees with you? Like a gang initiation for Satan’s crew?

But, I remember Kent State and I know that sooner or later history finds a way to reteach its lessons ... as many times as it takes.

God’s Judgment, on the other hand, is final and raising Hell and killing people for socialism is not a good long or short term plan.

He’s been identified. They also need to find the guy with him on the skateboard, he was involved too.
