Yesterday, a band of Portland-area supporters of President Donald Trump organized a car/truck caravan to drive through the area to express their support for the President.
Antifa and BLM counter-protesters harassed the group, and one of the Trump supporters was shot and killed in the resulting conflict.
Officers responded to fights, disturbances and collisions throughout downtown and made some arrests Saturday night, police said. By about 8:30 p.m. local time, the caravan of vehicles, part of a Trump rally held at Clackamas earlier in the day, had left downtown. The shooting took place about 15 minutes later.Photos from the scene showed the victim wearing a Patriot Prayer hat. The right-wing group has involved in several demonstrations in the city. Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson told The Oregonian he had seen the photo but did not say whether he knew the person.“I have to figure out what the hell is going on,” Gibson told the newspaper.Trump urged local leaders to call in the National Guard. Residents of Portland and other cities led by Democrats are disgusted with their leadership and with top Democrats in Washington, Trump said.
Of course, you would have to dig deeply if you relied on the elite news media to determine that the victim was a conservative activist. The headlines run by the American press are less than transparent about the incident.
However, news of the death has spread quickly through social media. Given the Democratic Party’s penchant for instructing followers to challenge Republicans and “get in their faces” and the support presidential candidate Joe Biden and his VP pick have previously given the “protesters,” the continuing mayhem and crime spree has now been tagged #BidenRiots.
As the American press obfuscates the incident with hazy headlines, conservatives are forced to share details with proper context provided . . . paired with a powerful new hashtag to get the message across.
