Disabled Portland Antifa protester, 60, who was shot dead at BLM riot 'by far-right FURRY, 43,' who was then shot and critically-injured by left-wing activist
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • June Knightly, 60, a disabled Antifa activist in Portland, was shot dead from a close-range gunshot wound on Saturday at a BLM protest

  • Benjamin Jeffrey Smith, 43, reportedly killed her after leaving his home across the street and walking up to her and shooting her

  • Knightly had been 'corking' - protecting protesters from dangerous situations

  • Smith has reportedly made anti-Semitic comments online and has often criticized the Black Lives Matter movement

  • He is also a member of the furry community who don cartoonish animal costumes
Naturally there is more to it, as explained by PJ Media:

Antifa lost.

At least one person ended up dead and five others were maimed in Portland Saturday night.

Portland Police are still sorting things out, but what we know is that police were called on Saturday night shortly after 8 p.m to a disturbance that quickly escalated into gunfire.

Portland Police said, "this incident started with a confrontation between an armed homeowner and armed protesters."

As Portland Police Public Information Officer Lt. Nathan Sheppard attempted to update the media on the shooting melee in Northeast Portland, two known Antifa forces of Evil took over the news conference, commandeered the microphones, and began blaming the police for failing to do their jobs to protect them.

According to Antifa protesters who took over the presser, identified by the Post Millennial as "Hailley Nolan and Dustin Ferreira," the previous night their comrades had gone to confront members of notorious Portland area biker gang the Gypsy Jokers.
One of the so-called 1% of motorcycle clubs openly steeped in criminality, the Gypsy Jokers were featured in Hunter Thompson’s book about the Hell’s Angels, which drove them out of San Francisco in the 1960s. Since relocating to Oregon in 1967, they’ve added 35 branches elsewhere in the US and in Germany, South Africa, Norway, and Australia, where they inspired targetted anti-bikie laws.
Police say at least one of the Antifa forces of Evil was armed (which they usually are).

Nolan, who appeared to have trouble breathing, said it was the Portland Police Bureau’s fault when a woman died in the shooting melee and five others were maimed.

"They are sending Gypsy Jokers to kidnap us," she breathlessly announced. She pointed to Lt. Sheppard and accused the police of encouraging the violence against Antifa, saying "they are sanctioning this violence against us. We are dying. We are trying to peacefully protest and they are killing us. And I want to know if any of you care. I want to know if Ted Wheeler
...Poindextrous lefty Dem mayor of Portland, Oregon. Allowed a year and a half of Antifa/BLM riots to destroy downtown sections of his city while playing catch and release with the perpetrators and hamstringing his police. He got reelected in the course of all that because the alternative was worse. He has yet to accomplish anything of substance, unless destroying a fairly pleasant city counts...
cares."

She indicated why they took over the news conference by admitting "we are not going to let them capture the narrative and lie," as she pointed to the police.

We can understand why. When you’re Antifa and you pick a fight with a biker gang, Antifa looks pretty dumb.

While the media watched, the Antifa goons chased the lieutenant back to his patrol car and attempted to surround it — their favorite trick.

I grew up in Portland. Ever since I was a kid I’d heard about the Gypsy Jokers. You. Don’t. Mess. With. The. Gypsy Jokers. Capice? The Portland Gypsy Jokers are reputedly among the most violent mostly peaceful, drug dealing, anti-social biker posses this side of the Hells Angels. They’re some bad dudes. Worse than Corn Pop.

Antifa and their BLM wingmen have done nothing but denigrate the Portland Police for the past two to three years, demanding they be defunded because "they are killing us," according to the white woman at the presser.

Let’s just step back for a second to observe the irony that Portland Antifa has been at the forefront of calling for defunding police. Portland’s police department has been decimated by the defunding after city commissioners and the mayor took these Antifa dunces’ word that there should be fewer cops. Forced vaccinations took another swath of cops off the job. Portland’s Antifa was part of Gov. Kate Brown’s mask and vaccine shock troop enforcement as well.

The violent mostly peaceful, childish Antifa came up against a notorious, violent mostly peaceful biker gang, which, unlike police, will fight back.

Antifa 0, Gypsy Jokers 1.

Here’s a look at the hijacked presser. LANGUAGE WARNING:

#2 Either way, murder is murder no matter who pulls the trigger, if it is not in self-defense.

Just finished reading the Heavy.com write-up.
Seems at 1st read, a guy that was fed up with all the protesting in Portland. But I see how quickly his anonymous Reddit handle account was outed.

I also notice how the BLM & etc.. staged a protest of the Portland Police News Conf.. Was it to stop the official press briefing, until they could get ahead of it with their own?

June Knightly, who is claimed to be disable. Other data and photos seem to challenge that statement, but I am still digging.


Summary
One has to wonder, how many more are gonna go over the edge, on both sides, after 3 years of these DNC/SOROS funded and planned RIOT - Protests?

#3 It makes sense if the DM piece is providing cover.

This line here:

Knightly had been 'corking' - protecting protesters from dangerous situations

Those are the human shields who get up in faces looking for their pallywood moment. Oh, disabled too, you can tell by the green helmut. Still, the article must concede she was actually in the home, and leaves out there was quite a crowd gathered outside the home. The cherry on top is calling the Furry community, usually exalted by the usual suspects as a fun kink, as cartoonish.

I'd guess....

Dude got picked up by antifa radar, was called-to in an online forum. Dude defended, talked back in a manner which prompted a house visit. Likely, this was not the first incident. Crowd gathers, and it is at least six so at least a squad. Likely another squad in support.

Dude comes to door. Big back and forth. "Corker" breaches door threshold in some manner. Between her and the actions of the besieging platoon of Antifa dude felt threatened enough to make defense and repel boarders.

This is DM, so you have to remember, "leaving the house" could mean she forced the door saying interesting things, perhaps throwing items inside as she was escorted out with zeal.

Remember, he is at his house, and at 43 may or may not have kids/grandkids/wife/guests at home, at least one squad, armed, brandishing the modern torch and pitchfork known as the megaphone who instigated the physical portion.

#4 So, Antifa vs Furry/Gypsy Joker, and both get shot; some evil part of me wants to eat popcorn while playing my femtoviolin.

#5 Its DM so it is a discredit slur, whether he does Furry for fetish, Furry for fun (most, like going clubbing), had on a costume like for a birthday party, or DM just made it up out of whole cloth.

The point is to other him and make Antifa look the goodly neighborhood patrol.

Not vouching for the guy, have no idea, just know how I would feel if a squad of organized people up to no good, probably armed, found a way to get into my home.

Recall the tactics: in that squad, in addition to the provocateurs, is the "medic" whose job is to video the interaction in order to capture the reaction for future evidence, as well as "media" whose job is to provide video overwatch for future action. They were all ordered to 86 their footage and, as such, destroy all memory devices to deny access.

#7 NN2N1’s Heavy.com link. It reads as one-sided propaganda, probably written from Antifa press releases.
