Fatal shooting in Portland, probably self defense

[Cuddles]

Well let that be a lesson for you. If he had a viable case he should have turned himself in. If he could not see that as his best chance for survival he was even more stupid than first appears.. But it looks like he was as much of a liar as Marquise Lose who claimed he was fighting to protect someone when video clearly showed otherwise (kicking a defenseless man from blind-side). If not a liar then clearly delusional to the point of being an ongoing danger to society so yah, looks like the police weren't playing games when they went to arrest him. The DA won't be letting him off again.

what lesson's that? That cops don't take protesters in alive when they've shot someone that aligns w/them in self defense?

Looks like he was shot as he attempted self-defense on trigger happy cops:

"Initial reports indicate the suspect produced a firearm, threatening the lives of law enforcement officers. Task force members responded to the threat and struck the suspect who was pronounced dead at the scene," the statement said.
None of the task force members were injured.


contrast this with Rittenhouse who cops allowed to flee a homicide scene being the prime suspect.

Suspect in Fatal Portland Shooting Is Killed by Officers During Arrest
Michael Forest Reinoehl, an antifa supporter, died when law enforcement went to arrest him, four officials said. He was being investigated in the fatal shooting of a member of a far-right group.

Man Linked to Killing at a Portland Protest Says He Acted in Self-Defense
"I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn't going to do that."


Ever since a member of the right-wing “Patriot Prayer” group was shot and killed during a violent rally in downtown Portland August 29, the police investigation has reportedly focused on 48-year-old Michael Forest Reinoehl, an Army veteran and father of two who has provided what he called “security” at Black Lives Matter protests.

Reinoehl has not been charged or arrested, and Portland police declined to say if he is the target of its investigation. However, The Wall Steet Journal reported that Reinoehl is a person of interest in the killing of Aaron “Jay” Danielson, who was taking part in a massive pro-Trump caravan that began in Clackamas earlier in the day.


In a conversation with freelance journalist Donovan Farley shared with VICE News, Reinoehl said he believed he and a friend were about to be stabbed, and that he acted in self defense. VICE News has not been able to independently verify details of his story.

“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, 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.”

Portland has been a flashpoint for protests since the 2016 election, but after the death of George Floyd in May, protests have gotten messier and increasingly dangerous. In August, a right-wing protester was arrested for firing into a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters. Proud Boy Alan Swinney brandished a gun and pointed it at protesters, and a group of reportedly left-aligned protesters were seen on video dragging a truck driver out of his vehicle and beating him up.

The killing of Danielson is the first linked to an antifacist protester in recent years. It happened one week after 17-year-old pro-Trump protester Kyle Rittenhouse allegedly shot three protesters at a march in Kenosha, Wisconsin, killing two. Rittenhouse’s lawyer is claiming he acted in self defense.


Reinoehl has been a nightly presence at Black Lives Matter protests in Portland for months. In early July, he was arrested for carrying a loaded handgun at a protest and resisting arrest. The WSJ reports that the case remains open. Later that month, he was shot in the arm while attempting to wrestle a gun away from a right-wing protester during a skirmish.

Reinoehl said he became aware of the pro-Trump truck parade when he saw what he described as “hundreds of trucks with flags on them,” while driving around Portland earlier in the day with his teenage son.

“I notified my friends of what I had seen and finished what I was doing with my son, got home and then received a phone call that it might be a good idea to come down there,” he said. “Security may be needed not knowing what that would entail. I had no idea what I was getting into.”

“I’m seeing all these vehicles with hatred, people in the backs of the trucks yelling and screaming and swinging bats and sticks at protesters that are just standing there yelling at them,” he said.

At 8:45 p.m., Reinoehl said he went to the aid of a friend surrounded by trucks laden with armed pro-Trump protesters. “I saw someone that is a dear and close friend of mine in the movement by himself basically confronting all these vehicles,” Reinhoel told Farley. “And so I let him know that I'm here, parked my vehicle and joined up with him, found myself in the intersection in front of the food trucks surrounded by trucks and cars that had weapons.”


Reindoehl stressed that people participating in the pro-Trump caravan were heavily armed in those trucks, and that they carried “not just paintball guns,” as reported in the press.

He found himself in a confrontation with a man who he says threatened him and another protester with a knife. “Had I stepped forward, he would have maced or stabbed me,” Reinoehl said.

Bystander video from multiple angles show a man who resembles Reinoehl and appears to have the same neck tattoo fire two shots at Danielson and then walk away. “I was confident that I did not hit anyone innocent and I made my exit,” he said.

Since the shooting, Reinoehl said he’s gone into hiding, and moved his children to a safe place after shots were fired into his house just hours after the incident. “They're out hunting me,” he said. “There's nightly posts of the hunt and where they're going to be hunting. They made a post saying the deer are going to feel lucky this year because it's open season on Michael right now.”

He has not turned himself in, he said, because he believes right-wing protesters are collaborating with police, who will not protect him or his family.

He said at the time of the confrontation and the shooting, there were no police present to help. “There was definitely nobody in sight, no police officer, nobody at all that could intervene. It was a free-for-all. And the police were letting it happen,” he said.


Two weeks later, he said, he has no regrets about his actions. “If the life of anybody I care about is in danger, and there's something I can do to prevent it … I think that any good human being would do the same thing,” he said.

Reinoehl said he’s spoken to attorneys who say “I’ve got a viable case for self defense and protection because there’s a definite threat to my life.”

It should be noted that thanks to liberal politicians the local and state police did not lift a finger to apprehend this murderer. The Feds had to do it.

Nah, they moved in after his admission on vice. Prolly on Barr's/Donnie's insistence. Local DAs still have to collect evidence and shit

Yeah... here we have Oregon's governor blaming the right-wing for all the violence while not condemning all the ANTIFA/BLM rioters arrested by the Feds.

He is one BLM/anftifa maggot who won't be out on the streets of Portland this weekend.

We know you are going to miss him.

Something has happened to your brain. You make absolutely no sense any longer.

Apples and oranges. Ritten, knowing his innocence, threw his fate onto the justice system when asked. The felon who murdered a patriot in cold blood ran from the scene and from arrest. Let that be a lesson to you.

Actually Ritten went home despite cops being at crime scene & arrest warrant was issued. This dude went home as no cops were around & was shot when cops exercised their arrest warrant
