Antifa took to Twitter and to the streets of Portland last night to mourn the death of an alleged vicious murderer and abuser, Michael Forest Reinoehl, and celebrate him as their hero. In the hours before his death, Reinoehl conducted an interview with Vice News in which he admitted he killed Trump supporter Aaron Jay Danielson on the streets of Portland last week. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Reinoehl claimed he committed the killing in self-defense. Reinoehl committed suicide by cop last night after he allegedly pulled a semi-automatic rifle on police and engaged them in a protracted shootout.

According to his sister, Reinoehl has a history of being a debt-riddled loser who stole his dementia-ridden mother’s medication and verbally abused her when she did not give him money. More on that below.

Antifa took to Twitter and to the streets of Portland to celebrate the alleged murder, drug thief, and mother-abusing bully as their hero.

Here’s an extended Twitter thread capturing Antifa members celebrating Reinoehl as a hero.

Before his death, Reinoehl laughably claimed that he was merely trying to protect his friend, “a person of color,” from being assaulted by the Trump supporter who he executed.

The Olympian has more details on the police shooting.

The suspect in the fatal shooting of a right-wing supporter in Portland was shot and killed by a U.S. Marshals task force near Lacey Thursday evening.

The shooting occurred in the 7600 block of 3rd Way Southeast in Tanglewilde about 7 p.m.

Pierce County sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer confirmed the man who was killed is 48-year-old Michael Forest Reinoehl, the suspect in last weekend’s fatal shooting. The Portland Police Bureau had issued a warrant for Reinoehl’s arrest earlier Thursday and asked the U.S. Marshals to find and apprehend him, according to an emailed statement from USMS spokesperson Dave Oney.

Thurston County sheriff’s Lt. Ray Brady said the Pierce County sheriff’s fugitive apprehension team, working as part of the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force, was in the area looking for a wanted homicide suspect when they saw the suspect come out of an apartment, to a vehicle. They said he appeared to be armed.

“The suspect came out to the car,” Troyer said. “They attempted to put him into custody and shots were fired.”

There was “a confrontation” between the officers on scene and the man, Brady said. Officers fired shots into the vehicle and the suspect ran from the car, Brady confirmed, then officers fired more shots.

As of 10 p.m., Brady had not yet confirmed whether the suspect fired a weapon at law enforcement officers.

The Daily Mail has more on the antics of the Antifa “hero,” as reported by his estranged sister, 36-year old April Reinoehl.

The Antifa member under investigation for shooting dead a Trump supporter in Portland was abusive to his mother and stole from his family, his sister claimed to DailyMail.com.

April Reinoehl, 36, believes the man caught on camera in a shooting in the downtown area of the riot-torn Oregon city was her brother, Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48 – and even identified him to local police.

In an interview at her Oregon home, April told DailyMail.com her brother had been estranged from their family for three years after stealing medication from their mother who has dementia.

For years he would verbally abuse and bring their mother to tears, manipulating her into giving him what little spare money the single, retired teaching assistant had, April claimed.

…

The distraught sister of Reinoehl said in the past few years her brother had been in a ‘downward spiral’, racking up debts after leeching off her family for decades when he stopped making money from his professional snowboarding career.

‘He’s a lot older than me,’ she said. ‘He was this nebulous figure who popped in and out of our lives, usually demanding money from our mom, and if she didn’t have it he’d guilt her until she did – not that she had money to give.

‘We were a poor family growing up. But she always gave to him.’

The younger sister said that aged 12 she made the mistake of lending Michael her grandmother’s inheritance, only to see the money vanish.

‘I would describe him as a jerk, verbally cruel sometimes when he’s not getting his way,’ she said.

‘I eventually gave up trying because I saw this pattern that he only reaches out to us when he wants something from us – either “watch my kids for free”, “give me money”, or telling us he should inherit the family property.

‘He said “I’ll look after the property and take care of mom, you should leave.” This is the same guy who only ever talks to her when he wants something from her, makes her cry if she can’t give it to him by guilting her, shaming her. Every kind of bullying and abusive tactic he could think of, that’s what he would do with her.’

April told DailyMail.com that Michael still asked his mother for a slice of her modest pension even when he was enjoying a successful career as a professional snowboarder – and that he went into a downward spiral when that career ended.

‘For a while he succeeded, he was a pretty big name in the snowboarding world,’ she said. ‘I believe he became very depressed after that life went away.

‘And it didn’t matter how much money he was making, he always needed more from mom, who made almost nothing.

‘He got into huge debt. He used our address and phone number for the purposes of avoiding collectors. My husband had to explain to somebody on more than one occasion that he was not Michael and to not take his car.’

April said that soon after he went into debt, Michael’s marriage ended in a ‘gruesome’ divorce that upended his children’s lives.

‘His relationship with his wife took a swan dive. There was a massive, brutal custody battle between the two of them. Every kind of nastiness that could happen between both sides, did.’

Michael still shares custody of his children. In June he and his 17-year-old son were charged with DUIs after allegedly racing at 111mph on the highway.

April said she cut him out of her family’s life in 2017 when they found he had been stealing their mother’s medication.

‘The only reason I hadn’t written him off more than three years ago is because I knew it would break her heart to know her children were that estranged,’ she said.

‘His behavior became even more verbally violent when he found out he wasn’t getting any more from mom.’ [Daily Mail]

Not exactly a real winner. But it’s not surprising that Reinoehl would be defended and lionized by a group, Antifa, that is shot through with pedophiles, according to the Post Millennial.

Aaron “Jay” Danielson, rest in peace.

Chandler Pappas, a friend of Aaron “Jay” Danielson and a witness who was right there as Danielson was murdered, took to Tucker Carlson’s show last night to defend his friend.

Pappas recounted the events of that evening, noting that he had gone downtown unarmed. Pappas and Danielson heard shouting behind them, with people calling out “we got a couple right here, pull it out.”

Pappas said that they turned to face their would-be attackers, but did not have time to realize that someone was pointing a gun at them before shots were fired and Danielson crumbled. Pappas rushed to save his friend, but was unable to.

A video of the shooting shows a white cloud of smoke that goes up between Danielson, Pappas, and their assailant. Pappas confirmed that this was bear mace, and that Danielson had been shot through the can of mace that they had brought with them for protection that evening. [The Post Millennial]
