At the end of last year, Michael Reinoehl, who declared himself “100% Antifa,” allegedly stalked a Trump supporter, Jay Danielson, and shot him to death in the street.
Reinoehl was some days later cornered by the federal law enforcement and killed in a shootout, after he allegedly first opened fire on the agents.
But if you wonder why Antifa is still a problem in Portland, one need look no further than attitudes such as that displayed by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown.
Brown appeared on the far left “Democracy Now!” show with Amy Goodman. Goodman asked what Brown thought about the killing of Reinoehl by the federal agents, which Goodman termed “a death squad-style assassination by U.S. marshals of the anti-fascist activist Michael Reinoehl.”

Democrat Oregon Gov. Kate Brown plans to use local law enforcement to conduct political repressions against Republican voters.
“The actions of the Trump administration were abysmal and absolutely abhorrent in this state and we worked with our local enforcement to eradicate these forces from our state,” she stated.
In a recent interview, Brown pledged to wipe out Trump supporters from Oregon for their political views. She also appeared to defend Antifa militant Michael Reinoehl who stalked, attacked and killed a Trump supporter in Portland. Reinoehl was later killed in a shoot-out with federal agents.

BLM/Antifa groups rioted for months last year and they’re still rioting in some areas like Portland and Seattle where their local authorities have pretty much given them free rein.
But Democrats pretty much ignored the riots, pretended they were all peaceful protests or even in essence encouraging them by contributing to a bail fund to get out people arrested during the riots.
This despite the fact that the riots were a continuing assault on the state and the federal government, particularly in places like Portland where they tried to burn down the federal courthouse for months and injured dozens of cops.
