Civil War? AntiFa Shoots Man in Portland

Last night, AntiFa/BLM shot and killed what appears to be a member of the Patriot Prayer group. The whole incident was captured on video. Graphic content warning:

Listen closely. This was the instant of the murder in Portland.

A: "Hey! Hey, we got one right here! We got a Trumper right here!"
B: "Right here?"

It was a conservative who was killed. https://t.co/UVuDUWGMKR

Prior to the shooting, there were competing protests, AntiFa/BLM on one side and the Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer on the other. Both sides exchanged blows and projectiles, with Patriot Prayer using paintball guns and bear spray and AntiFa throwing rocks and bricks.

AntiFa tried to claim one of theirs was the victim.

The ID of the deceased man is not confirmed yet but he was wearing a thin blue line patch & a hat which had the Patriot Prayer logo, suggesting he was one of the conservatives. Antifa falsely said a fascist killed a black person tonight, which riled up their people to violence. https://t.co/pLdkczN7gV

I hate to even suggest this, but the killings we’ve seen the past few days may be the first shots fired in a new civil war.
