In comparison to the Kyle Rittenhouse "evident self defence" matter (yet held without bail on murder charges), the cold blooded murder of Patriot Prayer supporter Aaron Danielson (aka "Jay" Bishop) is shocking to behold: Tipping Point? Man Shot-Dead in Portland for Backing Trump Mike Whitney • August 30, 2020 • 900 Words https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/tipping-point-man-shot-dead-in-portland-for-bac... .. [The MSM] cleared the path for a confrontation in which a self-righteous perpetrator felt entirely-justified in killing an unarmed man whose only crime was that he openly supported the president of the United States. There is no way to overstate the media’s culpability in this shocking incident. This was not a robbery, a mugging or a clash between gang members. It was a political “hit” executed by a remorseless assassin who believed he was fulfilling his moral obligation by exterminating someone he considered an enemy of humanity. .. It’s worth noting, that there is evidence that the killing was both intentional and premeditated. Just seconds before the gun was fired, an accomplice, who accompanied the killer said: “Hey! Hey, we got one right here! We got a Trumper right here!” (The accomplice’s comment was recorded on Twitter.) His pronouncement was followed immediately by two gunshots which slayed the victim and sent the killer fleeing into the night. ..

[photos of alleged perpetrator not attached] Hours after the murder of Patriot Prayer supporter Aaron Danielson (a.k.a. Jay) was captured on grainy film, users of the popular image board 4Chan used video footage and social media evidence to correctly identify the suspected shooter as Michael Forest Reinoehl, a former snowboard pro, construction worker and self-admitted member of Antifa, as reported on Sunday by Summit News and The Gateway Pundit. https://summit.news/2020/08/30/suspect-in-murder-of-trump-supporter-im-100-a... https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/4chan-users-appear-identified-portl... Reinoehl's sister confirmed it was him: Reinoehl’s 36-year-old sister said she was awakened just before 8 a.m. Sunday by a threatening phone call from someone who told her that “our whole family was in danger unless we turned him over.” “That’s how I found out,” that her brother was allegedly involved, she told The Oregonian/OregonLive. She called Sandy police to report the threat, she said. Once she looked online and saw screenshots of her brother’s photo, she said she called Portland detectives. “We reached out to police and confirmed that we recognized Michael in the screenshots,” she said. She asked that her name not be used because of the threats. Michael Reinoehl has been estranged from the family – including her, their parents and a younger brother – for at least three years, his sister said. -The Oregonian https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2020/08/man-under-investigation-in-fatal-sh... ..

A loaded Glock pistol, "unidentified prescription pills," and marijuana were found inside the car. A month later, he was busted again. Reinoehl’s posts indicate he attended many protests in Portland that began three months ago after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis under the knee of a police officer. On July 5 at one of the demonstrations, Reinoehl was cited at 2:10 a.m. in the 700 block of Southwest Main Street on allegations of possessing a loaded gun in a public place, resisting arrest and interfering with police He was given a date to appear in court later that month, but the allegations were dropped on July 30 with a “no complaint,” according to court records. The documents don’t indicate why prosecutors decided not to pursue the accusations. Reinoehl spent no time behind bars. -Oregon Live https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2020/08/man-under-investigation-in-fatal-sh...
