The dead one in Portland was a MAGA/Patriot-Prayer? Still, SHITLER tweets "Great patriots"

The point is the violence, separate from which side killed and was killed.

So the gushing "humanizing" of SHITLER at their convention that was obviously false to everybody of whichever "side" - sheesh, even to the ones spouting the lies - is over with, who-he-is never was erased: "Hours after the violence, he tweeted, 'Great patriots.' "

That's who he really is.

DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTERS MAGA Caravan Arrives In Portland ...VIOLENT CONFRONTATIONS, 1 DEAD

A man was shot and killed Saturday night in Portland as hundreds of Trump supporters caravaned into the city and clashed with Black Lives Matter protesters.

The MAGA procession drew around 600 vehicles as they drove in late Saturday ... some of them armed. It didn't take long before clashes between the 2 groups erupted.

You hear shots ring out in the video and police find a man on the street who was hit. He was pronounced dead. There are reports the man was wearing a hat that read "Patriot Prayer" ... the moniker of a far, right-wing group that has made its presence known before on the streets of Portland. It's unclear if police identified the person who fired the shots.

For his part, Donald Trump could not have been happier a caravan of his supporters were rolling into Portland. Hours after the violence, he tweeted, "Great patriots."

In addition to the fatal shooting, some MAGA supporters were shooting pepper spray and paintballs at BLM protesters.
And, this is frightening ... organizers described the event as "concealed carry." Nevertheless, some of the MAGA supporters were openly displaying weapons.

If this is any way foreshadows what's to come as the election draws near ... well, we're all in trouble.

4. Am I correct in understanding that the PP terrorist acted like he was about to draw a weapon?

Or actually did draw one, but the other guy was faster? Still trying to get a straight answer on that one.

Or worse. That will make some of these armed "heroes" have second thoughts about traveling to BLM protests. Most bullies are cowards anyway.

Every Saturday for the past month these jerks drive into Portland with paintguns, pepper spray and violence.

They fire at demonstrators with their paintguns, drive at them with cars and pick fights.

Now one of the fascist patriot prayer members die.

An asshole attacking strangers is killed.

Trump is using the same tactics used by Hitler and Mussolini. He is goading the violent fringe among his followers into provoking confrontations.

Every Sat. Night for a month they drove into Portland shooting paintball guns at protesters. Spraying them with bear spray and picking fights.

Trumpers more worried about this human garbage than the 180,000+ covid dead.
