Leftist host tries to get Oregon governor to condemn 'death squad-style assassination' of Antifa thug who gunned down pro-cop activist in 2020. Nope.



A host for far-left news show Democracy Now! did her darnedest to get Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, a staunch Democrat, to condemn the "death squad-style assassination by U.S. marshals" of Michael Reinoehl — a self-proclaimed "100% Antifa" militant who gunned down a pro-cop activist last summer after a Portland rally in support of then-President Donald Trump.

But for some reason Brown didn't take Amy Goodman's bait.

What are the details?

As part of a larger interview Friday, Goodman asked Brown to talk about Portland's "hundred-day protest ... against ... racism and police brutality that culminated in a death squad-style assassination by U.S. marshals of the anti-fascist activist Michael Reinoehl."

Brown was happy to talk about a number of things: how much she despised the Trump administration's actions, her support of peaceful protests, her efforts to get rid of racism — just not about what happened to Reinoehl.

"The actions of the Trump administration were abysmal and absolutely abhorrent in this state," the governor responded. "And we worked with our local law enforcement to eradicate these forces from our state. We want to make sure that Oregonians can continue to peacefully protest, to uphold those voices that ask for change. And we will continue to support those efforts to eradicate racism from our institutions, from our structures and from our systems."

Goodman — perhaps expecting a direct, supportive reply from Brown — pressed the governor.

"And do you condemn that death squad-style assassination of this man?" Goodman asked. "And have you called for an investigation?"

But Brown didn't give her what she wanted.

"Look, what happened last summer was abhorrent," the governor answered, again stopping short of addressing Reinoehl. "We are continuing to work to hold federal officials accountable. I expect you will see changes in leadership of local federal officials here in the state of Oregon. That is appropriate. And we are glad to be rid of Donald Trump's corruption, chaos, and, frankly, incompetent governance."

What's the background?

Reinoehl — a self-proclaimed "100% Antifa" militant — fatally shot pro-police activist and Patriot Prayer supporter Aaron "Jay" Danielson in an apparent ambush Aug. 29 after a Portland pro-Trump rally that attracted a heavy Antifa presence.

While the likes of then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden floated the possibility that Danielson was killed because his fellow Trump supporters were "inciting responses," the Multnomah County district attorney's office released unsealed court documents suggesting Reinoehl targeted Danielson before shots were fired.

Reinoehl said he believed he killed Danielson in self-defense because he and his friend were about to be attacked.

Law enforcement agents fatally shot Reinoehl on Sept. 3 after they said he pulled a gun when they came to arrest him in Washington state.

She added, "If ya'll are not angry, you're not paying attention. If ya'll are not angry, you're not with me! Everybody needs to realize what's going on in the community. Our community can hold its own without the police. We can take out the trash on our own. I am not sad that a f***ing fascist died tonight!"

Anarchists call for 'vengeance' over death of '100% Antifa' militant who fatally shot pro-cop activist in apparent ambush in Portland



Anarchists are calling for "vengeance" and a "week of action" over the death of "100% Antifa" militant Michael Reinoehl who fatally shot a pro-police activist in Portland over the summer in an apparent ambush:

The group's campaign declares, "'Rest in Power Michael Reinoehl. Every revolution needs people who are willing and ready to fight." It also claims Reinoehl was "murdered by the state" at the behest of President Donald Trump — for which the group wants "vengeance."

A "week of action" is planned to commence Thursday all over America in order to "avenge" Reinoehl. Here's more from the press release from the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement:

This is a call to action and a commemoration for Michael. An injury to one of us is an injury to all. We are calling for people to take actions in their cities, towns, neighborhoods, or homes. Whether banner drops, postering, demonstrations, direct actions, lighting fireworks, commemorations, or whatever creative ideas people come up with; we want the world to know that this will neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

When the State begins targeted assassinations, rule through terror becomes consolidated. Anarchists, antifascists, and all revolutionaries must stand in solidarity against these attacks and against the capitalist, imperialist state— particularly when in the fear of collapse it bares its teeth. We will not be intimidated. We will fight.

Antifa member appeared to target victim in fatal Portland shooting, new unsealed court documents show



The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office in Oregon released unsealed court documents on Friday that appear to tell a much different story of last weekend's fatal shooting in Portland than the alleged shooter provided during an interview this week. The unsealed documents suggest that Michael Forest Reinoehl targeted Aaron "Jay" Danielson before firing gunshots at the Patriot Prayer member.

Reinoehl, who describes himself as "100% ANTIFA" on social media, is seen on surveillance video from the night of Aug. 29. Security footage from Moda Tower catches Reinoehl seemingly hiding in a parking garage just before 8:45 p.m., then spots Danielson and his friend and fellow Patriot Prayer member, Chandler Pappas. Reinoehl then follows the two men down Third Avenue. Both Danielson and Pappas were wearing Patriot Prayer hats at the time.

Portland Police homicide detective Rico Beniga wrote in the probable cause affidavit that Reinoehl "conceals himself, waits and watches" as Danielson and Pappas pass him.

At that moment, Danielson "appeared to be holding a can in his right hand and what appears to be an expandable baton in his left hand," according to Beniga's statement. Reinoehl emerged from the garage and followed the two men as they crossed the street. Reinoehl was seen "reaching toward the pocket or pouch on his waistband."

"The shooting occurs shortly thereafter and is not captured on the surveillance video," the Portland Police Bureau detective wrote.

Two shots were fired, one of which appears to have hit the bear spray that Danielson was holding, which caused an explosion of "what appears to be a gaseous substance." The can of bear spray was recovered by police near Danielson's body and "exhibited damage consistent with being struck by a bullet," Beniga said.

Police recovered a loaded Glock 17 from Danielson's waistband that had 19 rounds in the magazine, prompting investigators to not believe the gun was fired during the deadly encounter since the magazine holds 19 rounds. Danielson also had "3 fully loaded 9mm magazines from the cargo pockets" of his shorts.

The other bullet struck Danielson in the chest, and then he stumbled three steps before collapsing in the street.

Danielson, 39, was pronounced dead at 8:55 p.m., approximately 10 minutes after the shooting. An autopsy found that Danielson was shot in the front, the bullet traveled from right to left, and was lodged in his back. The medical examiner determined that Danielson died of a gunshot to the chest. His death was ruled a homicide.

Reinoehl is then seen on video running north, the statement says.

"I believe it was just a random assassination attempt. I think it was planned," Pappas said. "I think they were looking for somebody to hurt. I think they're looking for somebody just like us who was down there unprotected, who didn't go and bring guns because we're not, we didn't have any intention to kill people."

On Wednesday, the Portland Police Bureau obtained a warrant from a Multnomah County court for Reinoehl's arrest. The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office charged Reinoehl with murder in the second degree with a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm.

A day later, Reinoehl, 49, was killed amid a hail of gunfire after a fugitive task force fatally shot him near Lacey, Washington.

Police searched Reinoehl's home and recovered clothing that matched what Reinoehl was wearing at the time of the shooting. Police also found Winchester .380-caliber ammunition, which matched the shell casing they found at the crime scene.

Court documents released appear to suggest Reinoehl obtained the gun he used to shoot Danielson from his son in exchange for marijuana.

"Portland detectives also obtained data from the phone of Reinoehl's son, who was recently investigated for an unrelated crime in Clackamas County," The Seattle Times reported. "Among the texts to the son was one on Aug. 7 from a contact labeled 'Dad.' According to Beniga's statement, it said: 'Sell me the gun for a quarter pound of weed and $100 I'm getting tired of this (expletive) I need a piece now.'"

The affidavit also states that Reinoehl was arrested by the Portland Police during protests on July 5. He was arrested and charged with possession of a loaded firearm in public, resisting arrest, and interfering with a public safety officer.

On Friday, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt gave a statement on the death of Reinoehl.

"The events of Thursday night are still being investigated by multiple law enforcement agencies," Schmidt said, reported by KING-TV. "We still do not have a full understanding of what led to the death of Michael Forest Reinoehl. The loss of life is tragic. It has a profound impact on families, friends and community members. The apprehension of a fugitive, in particular one under investigation for murder, is especially dangerous for law enforcement. I am thankful that no one else was injured or killed during last night's incident in Lacey, Washington, and I appreciate the coordination between law enforcement agencies throughout this investigation."

Before he died, Reinoehl gave an interview to Vice News, which aired on Thursday. Reinoehl admitted to shooting and killing Danielson, but he said he did so in self-defense, which is not supported by the unsealed court documents, or by video taken at the scene.

"You know, lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn't even be saying anything, but I feel it's important that the world at least gets a little bit of what's really going on," Reinoehl said. "I had no choice. I mean, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn't going to do that."

A livestream video also puts doubt into Reinoehl's account of the fatal shooting.

Video of Aaron Danielson shooting shows moments that led to his murder by Antifa member



Video of the moments before Patriot Prayer's Aaron Danielson was shot and killed in Portland casts some doubt on the narrative that the alleged shooter, Michael Reinoehl, was defending himself or a friend against Trump supporters who were instigating violence.

Danielson was shot in the chest on Aug. 29 during on the same night some right-wing demonstrators were driving through the city and, at times, clashing with left-wing protesters.

A man named Justin Dunlap, who throughout his video expresses support for Black Lives Matter protesters, was livestreaming on Facebook and captured the shooting.

The first nearly 13 minutes or so of the video are relatively uneventful, with Dunlap walking around downtown Portland, Oregon, interacting at times with other protesters, and wondering where the pro-Trump caravan he was expecting was.

At the 13:45 mark, Dunlap comes across a white pickup truck, which he identifies as a truck he saw earlier from which someone shot paintballs.

The man who later shoots Danielson is seen standing with some others by the truck, apparently having words with whoever is inside. Dunlap gets the truck's license plate number as it drives off.

After a few more minutes of congregating in this spot, the protester with the megaphone announces to Black Lives Matter supporters in the vicinity that they're heading to the Justice Center, which is back in the direction that Dunlap was at earlier in the video.

The protesters, including the shooter, walk by Dunlap to go toward the Justice Center. Dunlap pauses for a moment before following directly behind the shooter as they walk down the sidewalk. It's unclear whether Dunlap knew or was affiliated with the protesters, or whether he was just observing and attempting to follow potential action in the protests. As he walks, he stops a few times to comment on graffiti that has been painted on some businesses.

At 17:45 in the video, Dunlap stops at an intersection. He has the camera pointed away from the shooter and the other protesters at this point. A black SUV passes in front of him toward where the shooting is about to occur, and he follows that vehicle with the camera for a few seconds, saying "oh, good" and commenting that he hears the sound of engines revving and it makes him nervous.

A few seconds later, shouting is heard off camera. Dunlap turns the camera toward the commotion, and the shooter and several others are seen in an apparent confrontation with Danielson and others down the street. The black SUV stops near the altercation. The video is not totally clear because of the distance, but there is a hissing sound as it appears Danielson approaches the shooter and sprays what may be mace toward the shooter.

A split second after the spraying begins, the shooter fires twice. Danielson stumbles away for a few steps before falling to the ground. The shooter runs away in the other direction, unimpeded. Another person with a skateboard walks by and appears to pick some objects off the ground, possibly shell casings, then walks away off camera with his skateboard held in front of his face as police arrive.

Here is a shorter clip showing the shooting:

Chandler Pappas, a friend of Danielson's who was at the scene when Danielson was killed, said he believed they were hunted.

"They hunted him down — they hunted us down," Pappas said, according to the New York Post. "It didn't even register that someone was pointing a gun at us until the shots went off and he took off running. ... I think it was planned. I think they were looking for someone to hurt."

Reinoehl, the suspected shooter, talked to Vice News about what happened shortly before he was killed Thursday night by police who tracked him down in Washington state to arrest him for the murder. He indicated that he thought Danielson was threatening harm.

"I had no choice. I mean, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn't going to do that," Reinoehl said.
