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 days 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 citys downtown.
Dunlap said that the victim had earlier maced people, and someone could be heard on his video shouting that the victim was a motherfer who has been pushing people and jumping people the entire time.

More like the Robert LaVoy Finicum Ambush.
Back when Oregon Governor was buddy buddy with the FBI Hostage Negotiating Team. Shooting white guys to death in a snowy ditch was acceptable government behavior a year or so ago.
When someone attacks another, you are allowed to help in their defense.
I think it was probably mace or bear spray, which he sprayed when he saw the guy coming for him. Somebody yelled out, theres one, theres a Trumper, and he turned around and saw them coming for him.
The Trump group was leaving and had to fight their way out of town while the Antifa orcs were throwing newspaper boxes, signs and everything else they could tear up in front of the Trump vehicles. The Trump folks seem to have had only paintball guns and spray (mace? Bear spray?) to keep the Antifa orcs back.
The one who shot this man, btw, was a 48 yr old Portland resident....not an excitable kid. He had been arrested before for violence at a demonstration.
So if you are a Patriot, you are far right? What does that tell you, America.
OK, the https://twitter.com/17AmericanTruth/status/1299955482648604672 seems to have had some work done on it.
It is still unclear to me if it was the “labeled shooter” or the guy riding the skateboard or one wheel that fired a gun but the labeled shooter does now appear to be more suspect.
The rider seems to be unconcerned about what happened just a few feet away, did he know what was going to happen?
The labeled shooter and the rider appear to be wearing those tall white socks or the rider is wearing short pants.
The whole thing smells like it was planned.

Shudder the thought. I have been saying for a year that this rioting needs to be put down as the 1863 draft riots were put down: The Draft riots from "The Gangs of New York"
The media and even the authorities are playing this off as
if the Trump folks came to cause the trouble. Yep they
were out there, so there were arguments.
I have news for them both, law abiding citizens have a right
to be on the streets, and when confronted they have a right
to confront back. Who knew?
Rioters, looters, killers, and rapists, or law abiding
citizens... who should be at home?
Did the Trump supporters kill an unarmed anarchist?
I’d say they’ll figure it out in time, but we know they
won’t.
Mace
Thats the Bundy shootout
Yes, Oregon is lawless flyover and drive past quickly, territory.
I think the shooter scrapes his feet in a puddle, then comes toward the camera, hiding his face with arm and skateboard.
Initial impression it was unprovoked.
Black powder pistol?
Lovely....not.
These people are not protesters, they’re not just rioters, they are fifth columnists.
The Left is SO intent on finding evidence that the violent protestors are being put upon by Far Right-Wing Extremists, American Nazis, Klanners, Fascists, Authoritarians, Dictators and Despots that even a guy wearing a hat that says "Patriot Prayer" is grist for their evil mill.
They are so desperate to find far right-wing zealots anywhere they can that they're clutching at any straw, i.e., the words "Patriot" and "Prayer" on a cap become venomous words in their lexicon.
Another example of the Left's "Culture-Cancelling" again.

To avoid future confusion some numbers need to be discussed before the right wingers step on to this playing field.
Are they authorized to eliminate 4 or 5 liberal rioters for each right wing counter protester killed by those inhuman maggots?
How are those in charge of leveling the playing field supposed to keep track of and verify the numbers?
Will there be a penalty for those who get over zealous and harvest too many animals?
Many things need to be discussed before the right wingers enter the game.

I tried to explain this to several individuals last night, who were convinced the victim was shot in the back...But the reality is the victim was walking right towards the shooter and took a round front and center to the chest.
Bet the rent they are. If the suspect isn’t yet apprehended, he likely will be by sundown today or within days. They have real good images of the suspect. He’s done IMO.
...and given a medal?
