Brad Johnson on the shooting of an ANTIFA assassin by police during attempted arrest

“Live by the sword, die by the sword,” said by Jesus, describes what happened to ardent pro-Antifa Michael Reinoehl who murdered Jay Danielson during a Portland protest. A Federal fugitive task force coming to arrest Reinoehl shot him down when he allegedly resisted arrest. Portland police, says Brad Johnson, did nothing to pursue apprehension of Reinoehl. Danielson was associated with the Patriot Prayer group. What do you think?

this is september the 4th of 2020
00:03
and brad you were going to fill in some
00:06
desperately needed details
00:08
about the assad the antifa assassin
00:11
who uh who murdered a trump supporter in
00:15
portland and then
00:17
himself was uh taken out during arrest
00:19
by the
00:20
by the i guess the police what uh there
00:23
were some interesting things that
00:24
happened between those two
00:25
events so why don’t you fill us in
00:28
correct it is kind of
00:29
it is an interesting case and uh uh a
00:32
good example of a lot of the
00:34
problems that are out there so the guy
00:36
with the red hat that was the patriot
00:38
prayer group which is a supposed
00:41
by the by the mainstream media they’re
00:43
reporting it as some sort of right-wing
00:45
extremist group but
00:47
basically for the left if you have
00:50
anything to do with christianity
00:51
you’re a white right-wing racist
00:54
white supremacist type group and a hate
00:57
group and all that we’ve seen this over
00:59
and over and over and
01:00
and how they attack any group that that
01:02
promotes christianity in any way shape
01:04
or form
01:05
it’s a continuation of that attack on
01:07
christianity so at any rate these guys
01:09
were having that one of the caravan
01:11
things that they had done by boats and
01:13
different things where they’re waving
01:14
the flags in our pro trump and
01:15
he had the red hat that said patriot
01:17
prayer on it so
01:19
wearing a red hat now for the left is
01:22
just you know means that you
01:25
you can see that they’ve gotten to the
01:27
point where they have dehumanized
01:30
white trump supporters to the point
01:34
where for the most mild provocation
01:37
in their minds it’s justified to kill
01:40
them
01:41
and this is one of the things i’ve been
01:43
talking about for a long time it’s the
01:44
exact same thing that we saw the new
01:46
nazis do to jews for a long time
01:50
and where and that is what let them get
01:52
away with
01:53
and led up to the their attempted
01:55
extermination of jews
01:57
the holocaust and we’re seeing precisely
02:01
the same
02:02
technique unfold used by antifa
02:05
mainstream media
02:06
black lives matter the democrat party
02:08
they’re constantly trying to
02:10
dehumanize white trump supporters
02:14
and the what was interesting out of this
02:17
is two things
02:18
the one i have mentioned in a previous
02:19
interview but there are audio tapes of
02:22
the assassination and you can hear the
02:25
the actual
02:25
shooter who’s michael reinel i believe
02:28
is how you pronounce his name so
02:29
this michael guy is in the car with
02:31
these other three people they come up
02:33
and go
02:34
and the conversation is something to the
02:35
effect i’m paraphrasing pretty wildly
02:37
here but
02:38
it’s something the effect of yeah let’s
02:40
do this one here
02:41
yeah pull out you know pull it out so he
02:43
pulls out the gun and shoots the guy
02:44
he was clearly kind of randomly selected
02:48
but assassinated
02:49
on the spot which i think you know any
02:52
rational person is going to agree this
02:54
is a hate crime
02:55
and the michael reinel should have been
02:56
subject to uh capital murder and a death
02:59
penalty
02:59
for this type of crime so this guy
03:02
interestingly enough
03:04
then does a a an interview
03:08
and does it with a left-wing magazine
03:11
and uh it was recorded on video
03:14
and he’s talking about the situation and
03:16
he says well
03:18
so this unarmed guy in a red hat you
03:21
know
03:21
in a caravan waving flags uh
03:24
his reaction to that was that he felt in
03:27
such
03:28
imminent danger that he had to react
03:32
so just by somebody expressing
03:35
their first amendment rights to disagree
03:38
with him politically
03:39
was something he considered so dangerous
03:42
that it justified his assassination of
03:45
that individual
03:46
right on the spot now look how twisted
03:49
that has to become how far
03:51
into their own propaganda bubble they
03:54
have to be to conclude that
03:55
but that’s who these people are that is
03:58
who black lives matter
03:59
uh and antifa that’s who those people
04:02
are
04:03
and so uh and then when he was finally
04:06
caught by the police that at least
04:07
finally tracked him down interestingly
04:09
enough too
04:11
uh now i’m speculating here some but
04:14
he’d been all over the news
04:15
everybody knew who he was he was widely
04:17
being talked about he gave this
04:19
interview
04:20
and yet local police had nothing and did
04:23
nothing
04:24
portland police right so it looks to me
04:28
like that local law enforcement in
04:30
portland is completely in bed
04:33
with antifa to the point where
04:36
they won’t go arrest an assassin
04:39
a murderer even when in some videotape
04:43
with audio of him saying yeah okay i’m
04:45
gonna go kill this guy
04:47
they won’t arrest him because he’s
04:48
antifa they’re so in bed with the left
04:51
extremist groups on the left that they
04:53
won’t act when this man was actually
04:56
accosted it was a federal law
04:58
enforcement that caught up to him
05:00
and they tried to arrest him they
05:03
confronted him to arrest him
05:05
and uh he turned to run and pulled his
05:07
gun and they and they shot him and
05:08
killed him on the spot so
05:10
uh it saves the cost of a trial so i say
05:13
good riddance god bless
05:14
that uh certainly a clean kill the man
05:17
deserved it you know if you
05:18
get into the ball game it’s often
05:20
discussed you know the death penalty is
05:22
this great evil to the left
05:24
but the fact is the people that get the
05:26
death penalty have
05:27
self-selected in to the concept
05:30
this man got into the game of killing so
05:33
he understands
05:34
that his life is forfeit for getting
05:37
into doing those sorts of things
05:39
so i think it was completely justifiable
05:42
and
05:42
and in fact it was just us playing out
05:44
when this man got
05:46
got himself killed by not uh not
05:48
surrendering to the police and pulling a
05:49
gun on him so
05:51
uh it’s it’s it it’s the the scary part
05:55
out of all of this
05:56
is how far down that propaganda
05:59
rabbit hole these radical left-wing
06:02
insurgents
06:03
uh have gotten where you know this
06:05
everybody knew who he was and he was
06:07
left alone for a long time
06:09
and and and just felt it was so
06:11
completely justifiable he felt free to
06:13
talk about it
06:14
in an interview and uh
06:18
i i it’s it’s it’s dangerous and i
06:21
i the problem with this is and what’s
06:24
being discussed in the media a lot now
06:26
is how do you stop this from you know
06:29
getting
06:30
into killing and you just
06:33
i don’t think you can anymore at least
06:36
in the democratic controlled areas
06:38
because law enforcement like south
06:39
portland do refuse to act
06:42
and so you know you either have the
06:44
federal law enforcement come in and do
06:46
it as what happened in this case
06:48
well the locals have to fit themselves
06:50
to defend themselves so
06:51
it’s a real problem we need these
06:53
liberal law enforcement
06:55
controlled areas to follow the law
07:00
to act on these things or they create
07:02
pandemonium
07:03
and murder in the streets and that’s the
07:05
last thing we should all want
07:06
and i don’t care what your politics are
07:08
that should be the last thing you want
07:10
democrats and independents and
07:12
republicans alike should condemn
07:14
these antifa and black lives matter what
07:17
they do
07:19
so this this fella in his interview with
07:21
vice
07:22
magazine actually said
07:25
that he shot the guy because he was
07:28
defending
07:30
this is pretty much verbatim quote his
07:33
friend
07:33
of color so the the
07:37
the assassin’s claim with vice
07:40
is that that his target presented
07:43
an imminent threat to a
07:47
a black friend of this anti-assassins i
07:51
i mention it not because i think
07:53
there’s a grain of truth to it but
07:55
because i think he was so frightened and
07:57
desperate while he was on the land
07:59
that he was trying to come up with uh he
08:01
was trying to come up with some kind of
08:03
cover for what he did
08:04
and that’s why he went out to vice and
08:07
made up that excuse but
08:08
just saying that’s what he said i think
08:11
he actually
08:12
uh believed what he said and there may
08:14
have been some desperation knowing
08:16
he was gonna probably end up in trouble
08:19
over this thing but up to that point
08:20
he’d been left alone by
08:22
portland police local law enforcement
08:23
and they knew who he was all along
08:26
and so i i actually took that at face
08:29
value
08:30
and i think that again he’s he’s so far
08:33
down
08:34
that path of of this radical philosophy
08:37
and so deeply in this bubble of
08:40
information that he doesn’t
08:41
he doesn’t hear other perspectives that
08:44
for him
08:45
somebody supporting trump that by itself
08:49
represents a threat to his friend of
08:52
color
08:53
and so this is all imagined in his mind
08:56
and twisted to fit his propaganda
09:00
that this guy supporting trump
09:03
represents a threat the guy didn’t say
09:06
you know i’m going to shoot your black
09:08
friend or colored
09:09
colored person friend of yours or i’m
09:12
going to beat him to a pope or we’re
09:13
going to attack him or
09:14
nor did he acknowledge their you know
09:16
their existence other than that they
09:18
were
09:18
they were supporting trump and waving
09:20
the american flag and
09:22
showing patriotism so showing patriotism
09:27
with this philosophy that you see by
09:29
antifa
09:30
shooting patriotism showing support for
09:32
president trump by itself
09:34
represents a threat and this is
09:36
something that they often say
09:38
so i think he believed that that that
09:41
that by itself
09:42
represents a threat and they he
09:45
internally had so dehumanized
09:47
anyone that thinks that way that it
09:49
perfectly justified is killing him
09:51
and i think when he gave that interview
09:53
to this magazine whose name i don’t like
09:55
to mention because they’re left-wing
09:56
that that that that was actually him
10:00
stating his opinion and that that was my
10:02
interpretation of it and
10:04
i i wouldn’t uh disagree that there must
10:06
have been some element of
10:07
worry in the back of his mind and he and
10:09
he so he wanted to
10:10
put out his perspective on this whole
10:12
thing but i took that at face value
10:14
i believe that is the philosophy of
10:16
these anti-fun black lives matter people
10:19
just like that
10:20
so if you are not a supporter of theirs
10:24
uh you deserve to die if you support
10:27
trump you deserve to die
10:28
that by itself justification their minds
10:31
which again
10:33
deeply twisted sick respect yo that
10:36
sounds actually an awful lot like
10:37
communism thank you so much brad
11:05
you
