this is the vehicle driven by the suspect who murdered a demonstrator in Portland

IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CAR (WITH PROOF PLS) SEND IT TO US. @BLMProtestsBot

After further review of video evidence, the suspect possibly could be this individual as there was some visible smoke coming from their direction in the video. Regardless, it is important that we document every gunshot at demonstrations so that innocent folks do not get punished for something they are not involved in, and so we can collectively stand against an escalation to live rounds being used on civilian demonstrators.

Statement from one of the admins:

So far the news is coming that a protester has shot and killed someone on the far right.

I'm going to be honest with you all. I don't think any of us should support or celebrate this. We don't have the details yet, but as a leftist I don't believe in escalation in any case other than immediate self defense. I know sometimes it feels hard to not be happy that someone who truly hates us for asking for equality and justice has died. But we should go above and beyond that.

So I'm not going to celebrate a fascist being killed tonight if it wasn't done in immediate self defense. But I'm also not going to condemn people who do feel happy about this. We've not had the same life experiences and I really can't tell you how you should feel about it. Just sharing my own feelings.

We should work to strive to work for a society where we the people are not cogs in the machine for someone else's fantasy. Where there are no leaders telling us what to do.

This week has been a sad week. Please stay safe everyone. Love you all 🖤
