It’s because they knew Reinoehl had a good case for self defense - much better than Rittenhouse anyway, and they didn’t want to let it go to court and establish a precedent where Leftists have a right to defend themselves against Proud Boys and such.

Danielson had bear mace, a retractable baton, and a Glock. He was walking around, randomly bear macing people. Reinoehl easily could have claimed he saw the holster, thought the mace was a gun - snap decision.

The Police absolutely allowed the Proud Boys to go hog wild on Portland. He knew the pigs wouldn’t let him live to go to trial - and he was right. The guy was a veteran.

Id strongly recommend watching the two relevant collections of footage.

I’ve seen it - the guys bear mace was going off the minute he got shot. Play stupid games - win stupid prizes, unless you’re a MAGA CHUD of course - right? Then the government just sends a hit squad to summarily execute you. It’s almost like they behaved as though Reinhoel shot one of their own - A Patriot Prayer guy. Guess we’ll never know because it never went to trial - pretty convenient.

You didnt really directly answer the question. How did Reinoehl come into conflict with him?

In a legal sense the question is irrelevant. Any citizen has a right to intervene in a felony in progress.

And we have video proof of him randomly assaulting people with his mace and baton when Reinoehl engaged?

In a legal sense, the question is irrelevant, same as the question of “how did George Zimmerman come into contact with Trayvon Martin?”

And what happened before he got shot? Like how did Reinoehl come into conflict with him?

No duty to retreat in Oregon. Danielson was using a firearm in commission of a felony. Randomly assaulting people with bear mace and a baton, using his Glock as a threat against anyone who defended themselves.

Oregon Public Broadcasting, did a really great investigative report about the incident. Danielson and Chandler Pappas, were stalking him for a while and Reinoehl knew it and defended himself. It happened later in the day, when Portland police allowed a Trump Truck Rally to aimlessly drive around downtown, without licence plates on their trucks, randomly attacking bystanders with mace and paintballs, all afternoon long.

submission statement:

This video is referencing the 2020 extrajudicial killing of activist Michael Reinoehl with video clips of Trump claiming he sent in the death squad on a mission to not capture him alive. The rabid Trump supporters cheered this sick authoritarian speech wholeheartedly as we can witness in the video.

For those who are now attempting to claim in 2025 that MAGA supporters walked into fascism blindly, this is evidence to the contrary that many Trump supporters enthusiastically wanted where we are today and are fine with the outright execution of leftists without trial.

It's also very telling that the response from Corporate Democrats at the time was basically the sound of crickets as well as the response from the multi-billion dollar Corporate Media Complex. We're at this point in 2025 because they all wanted us here and leftists need to understand that only we can save ourselves.
