As is custom, before any part of any investigation has even begun, the mainstream media is already condemning conservatives for the shooting.
“A person was shot and killed in downtown Portland during a pro-Trump caravan through the city Saturday night.”
This, because reportedly around 2,500 Trump supporters gathered to start a caravan from Clackamas Town Center in Happy Valley up to downtown Portland waving American flags for what was called the Trump 2020 Cruise Rally.
KOIN6 reported that a witness told their reporter that “groups of pro-Trump protesters and counterprotesters were getting heated with each other just before the shooting.”
However, a person who claimed he was out to witness the Trump rally and see the police “mace” the “counterprotesters,” “just like last Saturday,” got the incident on livestreamed video.
And he was nowhere near any sign of a Trump supporter.

As a matter of fact, he was hardly near anyone as the streets were relatively clear where he was.
He walks aimlessly for several minutes whining about not seeing any of the Trumpers in the area, save for a lone “white truck” that he points out and says they’re shooting paintball guns out of.

The incident occurred outside of a parking garage. It sounds like several words are exchanged before the suspect pulls out a gun, shoots twice, and then takes off running. As he runs away, you can hear someone else yelling:
“Go, go, go!”

The suspect on the video appears to have been black, and the victim appears to have been white.
The man who was livestreaming during the shooting is Justin Dunlap, and he was so clearly high while making his little video that he didn’t even realize he captured what is possibly the only video evidence of the murder. While filming people rushing to help the victim, he says he has “mace” in his eyes.

Meanwhile, this gentleman, who was directly next to the suspect when he fired the gun, grabs up his longboard (which is equipped with a go-pro on the end and likely has valuable evidence on it- I know because I’ve seen this guy at the riots before) and casually walks away from the scene of a murder, covering his face in hopes that no one would identify him.

Meanwhile, Dunlap posted another video saying:
“There’s no need for peaceful protests to turn into gun-carrying, gun-waving, shooting out the window as you’re driving through crowds, none of that shit.”
As a reminder, Dunlap was recording the murder and saw the actual incident himself.
He continues in that video to say:
“The [deceased] individual on the ground was wearing thin blue line, Trump, right-wing gear. That I can confirm.”
Dunlap said there was bear mace in the air during the incident.
He then goes on to say:
“A Proud Boy rally was driving around, and there was the Patriot Prayer kids…rolling around, and at least one car that I had on film was driving around shooting paintballs out the window, just indiscriminately into the street.
“I was the only one on the block and they were…pop, pop, pop! Pop, pop, pop! And they’ve been going around macing people out of the windows of cars, and all that dumb shit…”
He gets interrupted by an officer asking him a question, and then continues:
“So, the one [Proud Boy or Patriot Prayer member] who’s still here sprayed a bunch of bear mace into the air and somebody else returned fire with, evidently, deadly force.”
“This is the perfect reason…for all you….I can’t even right now, because an hour before this, I was in Troutdale, in a perfectly peaceful rally…There was some gun-toting dudes out there, and they just had them. They didn’t have them out, one guy was wearing it on his shoulder.
“But they were cool. They were like, ‘Yeah, black lives matter, we’re just Second Amendment people.’ They were fully willing to admit that black lives matter.
“Fucking 22 miles away…”
He gets interrupted again by a man yelling obscenities, and Dunlap says it’s the friend of the deceased yelling.
Dunlap said that the deceased man laid “a whole cloud of bear mace” in the air towards the suspect and another man with him.
Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter rioters downtown have begun chanting and celebrating on the loss of a “Trump voter’s” life.

Find him: Woman wearing Trump hat violently assaulted by man at Back the Blue rally
GRESHAM CITY, OR –Members of Black Lives Matter crashed a Back the Blue rally in Oregon recently – and quickly launched their attacks.
During the event, a woman wearing a Make America Great Again Hat (MAGA) was attacked by a white man who apparently did not like the hat.

A video was captured of most of the event which shows a short, overweight white man (who needs to be identified) attacking a woman who was wearing the iconic hat.
The man strikes the woman multiple times, but the woman is having none of it and fights back. She is able to successfully land a few blows in self-defense.
Another member of the crowd, seeing what is occurring, sprays the man’s face full of an orange liquid which is said to have been mace.
People begin shouting, ‘stop fighting,’ and the two are eventually pulled apart.
One man in the crowd yells, “you punched a girl!” The man slinks away with his tail between his legs as the woman and the mace beat him.
The person shooting the video walks up to get the man’s face on video. People from the Black Lives Matter group do everything they can to block the view is the person is receiving medical aid.
One white woman in particular keeps chanting “Black Lives Matter” over and over again as she tries to block the camera view by a protest sign. However, the diligent cameraman is finally able to get the man’s face on video.
The event, which was held at the Gresham City Hall, was supposed to be a flag waving event in support of law enforcement, known as Back the Blue.
This was done at this location because of the city’s decision to fly the Black Lives Matter flag on city property.
Shelby Walman, a member of the Back the Blue event, told KATU:
“When we want to peacefully protest and say what we want to say, we always have BLM follow us.”
It is unclear if any arrests were made. Law Enforcement Today reached out to Gresham Police Department and did not receive a response before this article was published.
The night prior to the event, members of the Gresham City Council had an emergency meeting to discuss the Back the Blue and Black Lives Matter counter protest. They discussed removing the flag, but they decided to leave it in place until the end of the month, citing safety concerns.
The city released a statement saying:
“The Council had a thoughtful and heartfelt discussion centered around keeping our residents and our police officers safe, and how best to accomplish that goal. The Council is united and unwavering in their support for the right of individuals to express their First Amendment rights and peacefully protest.
“As well, Gresham City Council strongly denounces violence, destruction of property and hate speech; individuals perpetrating these acts are not welcome in Gresham.
The Black Lives Matter flag will continue to be flown, per Council’s original direction, through August 31st.
However, the work of continuing to foster equity and inclusion within Gresham will continue, as City Council is committed to furthering racial justice within our community.”
The Gresham Police Department released a blanket statement on the incident, saying:
“We support everybody’s first amendment right to protest. We ask that you remain peaceful and thank you for your cooperation.”

Gresham neighbors with Portland, the site of continual riots since the death of George Floyd in police custody.
Every night, members of Antifa and Black Lives Matter storm areas of the city and start fires to building and work hard at injuring police. Currently, there appears to be no end to the violence in sight.
