Portland roundup: Mayor @tedwheeler blames violence and homicide on Pres Trump, so does Gov Kate Brown

PJ Media adds:
Jay Bishop, whose real name was Aaron Danielson, was a member of Patriot Prayer, a conservative protest group. The group’s Facebook page says that they’re “about fighting corruption, big government, and tyranny using God for strength and the power of love.”

The media generally refer to Patriot Prayer as “a far-right” organization.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown Blames Trump for Violence After Trump Supporter Killed in Portland.
[Breitbart] Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) issued a statement on Sunday blaming President Donald Trump for the violence seen across American cities, particularly in Portland, after a Trump supporter was shot and killed.

Brown’s comments came after months of inaction by local authorities to wrangle violent protests across the city of Portland under Mayor Ted Wheeler.

“For the last several years, and escalating in recent months, President Trump has encouraged division and stoked violence,” Brown said. “It happened in Charlottesville. It happened in Kenosha. And now, unfortunately, it is happening in Portland, Oregon.”

“But despite the President’s jeers and tweets, this is a matter of life and death,” Brown added. “Whether it’s his completely incompetent response to the pandemic, where nearly 200,000 have died, or his outright encouragement of violence in our streets: it should be clear to everyone by now that no one is truly safe with Donald Trump as President.”

Brown continued, noting that she has “supported” peaceful protests in the state.

“Throughout this pandemic, whether it was demonstrations protesting my COVID-19 executive orders, or large crowds marching for the cause of Black Lives Matter to call for police reform, I have supported the rights of all Oregonians to peacefully protest.”

“For months this summer, we have seen powerful images of Oregonians uniting for the cause of racial justice, calling for justice for black men and women who have been killed by police violence,” Brown stated. “We remember them, we say their names. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Ahmaud Arbery. Philando Castile. Alton Sterling. And far too many other Black lives taken by racist violence.”

“For weeks, we have also seen small groups of demonstrators from all ends of the political spectrum who are intent on committing acts of vandalism and violence,” Brown continued.

Brown concluded her anti-Trump message by claiming the state would find who was “responsible” for the murder and hold them “accountable.”

“Tragically, yesterday a life was lost in downtown Portland,” Brown added. “We do not yet know the full circumstances of this person’s death. Regardless, a life has been lost, and our hearts go out to this person’s family. We will find those who were responsible, and they will be held accountable.”

Since the death of George Floyd, Portland has become a hot spot for violent crime, including the burning and looting of buildings, the tearing down of statues and monuments, and various shootings.

Police in Portland have been left to fend for themselves with little to no backing from state or local officials.

Protests across Portland for the past few months have been mostly anti-police. One group took to the streets to burn the American flag and copies of the Bible. Another group set ablaze a severed pig’s head, donned with a cop hat sitting atop an American flag.

Just tell your daughter and her Portland friends to stay away from riots, regardless of her positions. One is asking for a stray bullet.

#12  The Dems have turned loose a bunch of mental cases on the population. Antifa and BLM have a bad case of hate Trump and hate America.

#9  ^The police officer Interviewed by Hugh was Patrick Lynch.
Lynch is head of the New York police union that just endorsed Trump during the RNC convention.
This is probably a Trump vs de Blasio angle.

#8  Hugh Hewitt, Salem Radio, just interviewed an Oakland police officer who said it is the city mayors who are in charge of the police are responsible for what they allow or don't allow to happen.
Trump wants to show that if he supersedes the local governors authority he can shut down the crime.

#6  Same party that looked the other way in the South for most of prior century while the Klan engaged in intimidation and destruction. Blame the outsiders for causing the problem.

#5  FFS, they don't encourage the violence, they openly support and provide the environment by which it succeeds. not pursuing this murder, Wheeler has put a death sentence on every Trump supporter who dares enter his little Antifastan and that's exactly his point. They think they can declare war on the populace and cow them. No fokkin way. Portland will be very busy until election day. They have made themselves Ground Zero and that will be their undoing.

#4  Looks like the killer is a really good family man from this DUI report:
Father and son charged after racing at 111 mph on I-84 while under the influence of alcohol and drugs

Hagedorn found “usable amounts of marijuana and unidentified prescription pills” in the Cadillac. He also found a loaded, concealed Glock pistol for which Reinoehl did not have a concealed handgun license.

Reinoehl’s 11-year-old daughter was riding in the Cadillac, which resulted in the recklessly endangering another person charge.
