Right after Portland’s mayor once again refused federal help to deal with the ongoing riots, a Trump supporter was executed walking down the street. Leftists cheered.
After nearly 100 days of riots and looting, Portland has had another violent incident. A man apparently wearing a thin blue line patch and a Patriot Prayer hat was shot for no apparent reason.
The man was walking down the street with a friend, and is not seen antagonizing protesters or provoking the attack in any way.
Andy Ngo, editor of the Post Millennial, has been following the riots closely, and has shared the video of the attack on Twitter:
It sounds like someone is shouting, “We got a Trumper right here” just before the shots are fired and the man is killed. https://t.co/MMCnp5iwtj

Many outlets are reporting hearing the shooter yell “We got a Trumper right here,” although that has not been confirmed.
The mainstream media is, as usual, spinning the story to smear the victim as ‘far-right’ or ‘alt-right’, with CNN’s newest headline being: “Man Killed in Portland Shooting Mourned By Far-Right Group”.
Andy Ngo also shared a video of a mob of leftists reacting to the killing (warning, graphic language):
“He was a f—ing Nazi! Our community held its own.”

This incident occurred after Mayor Ted Wheeler sent a rather disrespectful letter to President Trump stating that Portland does not need federal help with the ongoing riots. In the letter, Wheeler stated: “We know you’ve reached the conclusion that images of violence or vandalism are your only ticket to reelection.”
This statement is in direct contrast to President Trump’s offer of assistance. If Wheeler’s statement was correct, why would Trump want to help stop the violence?
In referring to the rioters, Wheeler stated: “They are part of the proud progressive tradition of Portlanders fighting for justice – from racial justice to economic justice to environmental justice.”
It seems that the Democrats do not want these lawless nights to stop. Portland Police have their hands full in dealing with almost 100 nights of criminal activity. Will they be able to find time to catch a murderer?
Police Chief Chuck Lovell commented on the incident, stating “It is still early in this investigation, and I ask everyone to give the detectives time to do their important work before drawing conclusions about what took place. If anyone can provide information about this case, I ask them to please reach out to our detectives. This violence is completely unacceptable and we are working diligently to find and apprehend the individual or individuals responsible.”
