As RedState reported earlier, a man was shot and killed in Portland, OR during the ongoing rioting in the city. The person shot was apparently a Trump supporter participating in a counter-protest which started as a drive through by various vehicles.
Later in the evening, the victim in question was murdered in what appears to be cold-blood. It also appears he was targeted. The man was reportedly a member of “Patriot Prayer,” which is a group that is constantly labeled as a dangerous “far-right” entity by the media when no evidence really exists to back that claim up. Unlike the “Proud Boys,” which actively look for fights, this group doesn’t seem to be on that level.
The shooter has been possibly identified due to the very distinct vest he was wearing.

Now, another video of the shooting has emerged and it’s what you hear, not what you see, that provides more evidence this was a targeted shooting.
It sounds like someone is shouting, “We got a Trumper right here” just before the shots are fired and the man is killed. pic.twitter.com/MMCnp5iwtj

The man who is shot does not look to be posing any threat to the shooter. He’s not even walking in the same direction at the time he’s shot. Unlike the Kyle Rittenhouse case in Kenosha, where video evidence clearly shows it was self-defense, this looks like a straight up murder.
Antifa and BLM are celebrating.
After finding out that it was a “blue lives matter” supporter who was killed, antifa in Portland are very happy. They’re dancing and chanting now. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/PeqyVUXfNE

While some will desperately try to claim this is the same thing as the Rittenhouse shooting, it’s simply not. The man who shoots was not being rushed, hit, or threatened. The media are going to do their best to obfuscate from that fact though, and while they were very interested in the Rittenhouse incident, I don’t expect them to talk much about this one except to try to describe the victim as “far-right.” We’ve already seen some headlines focusing on what group he supposedly belonged to instead of the fact that some left-winger gunned him down.
We’ll keep you updated as this story unfolds.
