If you have evidence that the shooter's safety was threatened and his action was justifiable, contact the authorities. You see, police suspect the incident had nothing to do with politics.
Portland police said a pair of 18-year-olds who had no connection to the protesters were arrested in the shooting. Steffon Marquise Corothers and Shamar Xavier Hunter, both 18, were booked with attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon in the shooting. Police spokesman Peter Simpson confirmed that a TEC-9, a semiautomatic gun, was recovered from the suspects’ vehicle.The pair will be arraigned Monday in Multnomah County Court, police said. No additional details were released.
Simpson said the 2 are gang-affiliated but they don’t believe the shooting was gang motivated.
“We don’t believe the target in the shooting had any gang involvement at all it appears to be conflict between gang member criminals with guns and people in a protest,” Simpson said.
So you condone people shooting protesters? Talk about anarchist.
Not peaceful protesters, that is an honorable activity fully supported by our constitution. Violent rioters on the other hand?
Aren't you by your very activities as a violent rioter asking for the same reaction?
Why, as person committing violence on others person and property surprised when that action is met with an equally violent action?
To go even more basic, behave yourself and protest like a responsible law abiding person and odds are you will never be met with retaliatory violence.
