The title of the story says that he came armed for a massacre.

The same can be said of a hunter going out for feral hogs.

How many times did he fire his gun?

They are assuming he came for a massacre because he had 6 magazines of ammunition with him, all 6 magazines were extended illegal high capacity magazines.

Oregon has no magazine capacity laws.

Last updated August 27, 2015. Oregon has no law regulating large capacity ammunition magazines.

kptv.com

Commissioners said state law limits counties for legislating in others areas of gun control, such as banning assault rifle or limiting magazine sizes.

So how were his magazines illegal?

Because the ban on high capacity magazines is a federal law?

Wrong. There is no high capacity ban that is nation wide.

I have a drum mag that holds 100 rounds in Washington state and it isn't illegal. You can even get a dual drum for 200 rounds.

If you bothered to read the entire topic, we already established that several times, but I appreciate your insight.

I was just editing my post, but you beat me to it and saved me the trouble.

Just love how this devolved into a pointless argument about mag capacity laws.
Anything to deflect from yet another gun humping whackjob looking for a thrill & easy kill.

Any one carrying with six extra mags ain't out for a pleasant afternoon walk, no that nut was looking for blood.
Good thing the weak freak was stopped before he worked up the nerve.

There's a word for people like him, sociopaths with delusions of paranoia & persecution complex.

I'll bet my bottom dollar this guy roamed the net crying & whining about how the poor white man is so put upon by all the "thugs & gangsters" who comprise BLM & oh lordy lord he just needs to "protect" himself from all the scary blacks.

K~

Partially my fault for the drift. Not trying to deflect from this guy and his 6 magazines pulling his pistol on folks who appear to be peaceful. This guy does not need a CCW, he needs an intervention. If I was out with him and he did this, I would stay away from him for life, or until he showed me at least a certification of 10,000 hours of very serious psychotherapy. This little twit need to go home, sell his penis extension (pistol), help his mother around the house more, and eat his vegetables more often.

After ten years of good behavior maybe he can get a BB gun (and a pony ride) for his birthday.

So they will mention this guys political affiliation in the headline?
But crickets in regard to what political affiliation the Dallas and Orlando shooters have?
Hmmm... I do believe their agenda is showing.

Sure the guy was a crazy gun toting psychopath and deserves to be behind bars. Probably should have had a proper mental health evaluation before getting the gun too. But implying his political affiliation is somehow tied to his state of mind is utter nonsense. By them saying "Trump supporter who waved gun at BLM protesters convicted" they are creating a narrative that waving guns at minorities and supporting Trump is somehow connected...

No wonder the media has a 6% approval rating.

Of course they won't. Could you imagine if you painted this nutjob black and placed him at a trump rally? Oh my god the media would have a field day. He'd also have 105 bullet holes in him.

WOW ...that was macho stupid...THIS guy might actually HAVE the penile connection Progs speak of ,pathetic.
TAKING a human life for politics HAS to be a branch in hell I says.
WE elect they said and I did...wish I had the internet in 80s.
GRUNGE would have died and melodic metal would be able to perform OUTSIDE of the label.

Funny how his employer has such a different story.

I carry everywhere I go. The issue with him is pulling, pointing and not using. You can be afraid but if you are afraid enough to pull you should also be ready to fire.

Thug? You think this guy is a thug? Maybe he is part of JWA....Journalists with Attitudes...

Yes, his employer has a different story but every single camera that was on scene says otherwise. All those cameras and no footage of him being mobbed or assaulted. He came to the protest with 6 magazines and a gun, I think that says it all.

In that article that you linked, we see this....

The court set bond for Michael at $250,000.

But the OP says this.....

I'm surprised he was released without bail, unstable mental nut job that will surely end up hurting someone soon.

I wonder what the truth really is?

Seems he was re-arrested.

"Michael Strickland, the right-wing agitator and Trump supporter seen in this video brandishing a gun at a peaceful Black Lives Matter rally, has been charged with two class A felonies after being arrested and initially released Friday morning on his own recognizance without bail."

In videos of the incident, Strickland also appears to be far out of the range of any protesters when he menaced them with his gun. Some protesters can be seen facing Strickland with their hands up and urging him to put the gun away and to leave.


As reported first by The Raw Story, the police found a live round chambered in his gun. In its case, the state also said there was an undercover cop in the crowd threatened by Strickland. (A second man detained at the scene, Jessie Sponberg, who ran for Portland mayor in May receiving 1.6% of the vote, was not arrested as initially believed, but briefly detained and questioned before being released.)

That led a judge to slap Strickland with $250,000 in bail and he was returned to custody in the Multnomah County jail.

The truth is a reporter (no need to say white, etc) felt threatened and pulled a weapon in self defense. End of story. Does not matter who he worked for. What color he is. Sexual orientation. Activist. Why is "the right-wing agitator and Trump supporter ". How do you know this?

A reporter was attacked.

Did you also know he had his arm broken by a anti-gun activist last year during another rally? I would carry a firearm at all times also if that happened to me.

Any proof or video that he was attacked at this rally? Any proof at all?

He's lucky he's still alive.

Cough.

Oh, I don't know about that.
The OP says he was there to massacre people.

I think everyone else is lucky they are alive!

Looks like a scared nerd..

“unlawful use of a weapon”

What does this mean exactly? Is it illegal in itself to point a gun at someone? When is it ok to point a gun at someone?

I see Chris Tucker waving his gun around all the time in Rush Hour.

I watched the video. I saw people threatening him and telling him to leave. I heard the slurs. He was there as a journalist. Seems to me the BLM wants to silence the media.

How about you watch this video again from the rally he was at

Go to 37 seconds...do they sound peaceful...run them over...run up on them...you better take #ing action....this is just before this guy pulled his weapon. You can hear them in your video.

www.youtube.com...

then go to 2:00....Look at the big no shirt guy walking to him...I would haves shot him in a second...

but you see, as soon as these 'tough' protesters are challenged they call for cops....pussies.... the same people that they are telling need to leave.

Also, to all the non-black people 'protesting' with BLM...they will turn on you as soon as you are no longer needed.

You must of watched the video in reverse, he was told to leave after being a threatening thug waving a gun. Secondly, how can anyone take you seriously with the comment in the last line of your reply? You have just admitted you a problem creator. You aren't interested in spreading positive change, you are interested in protecting your false racist ideals.

a reply to: theySeeme

You did not watch it. You are afraid. You know you are wrong. Man, you have been trolling ATSNN with your racebait all day but I like closet racist people like you.

The last line I stated is true. WATCH the video. When the BLM supporter tells everyone to stop clapping. He says 'most of you all ain't involved' . He was talking to the white people in the crowd. You know that. Be a man and at least admit it.

Now, did he or did he not, the BLM organizer, tell his protesters that they should

run them over...run up on them...you better take #ing action...you pull your pistol out and bust em....he is moving in violence

You are in denial man....of your blindness to the BLMs racism.

a reply to: theySeeme

Most young people everywhere are idealistic, not sure what common sense has to with either BLM or the guy who pulled the pistol. The statistics don't support BLM's arguments that Blacks are unfairly targeted and their initial poster boy was killed while assaulting a policeman.

I'm not saying Blacks don't have anything worth protesting about, there's plenty but the issues they bring to the fore are a deflection from the real problems; namely drug laws, poor schools, lack of decent jobs available, illegal immigration, a welfare system designed to encourage single parent households along with rap/hip hop culture (and media too) that glorifies violence.

"Peaceful" BLM rally. Must have been the only peaceful one that ever happened.

It's their new thing to preface anything about BLM with "peaceful and unifying". It's propaganda.
