Alerts based on police intelligence, no matter how unspecific, are frequently distributed to law enforcement agencies according to investigators, especially when they involve threats to officers. The FBI's "Potential Activity Alert" is from "a contact whose reporting is limited and whose reliability cannot be determined." That could mean the information came from a police street source, a cooperating witness in an ongoing case, or from discussions overheard on a wiretap or other surveillance recording. -ABC7
They executed my partner. They hunted him down, they hunted us down. They recognized our Patriot Prayer hats. For anybody who doesn't know Joey Gibson, citizens advocating for men, we support him, Christian and conservative. Um, so they identified our hats: "We got a couple of 'em right here. We got a couple of 'em right here. Pull it out. Pull it out"...I turned around. I didn't even, it didn't even register that somebody was pointing a gun at us until the shots went off and took off running...the shooter took off running and uh, you know, you, it takes a second to process everything that happened. You know, did he just shoot at me? Okay? I'm okay, turn over and Jay's dead.
Because he believed something different. Jay's not a racist. He's not a xenophobe or whatever label. He's not an ist or an ism. He's an independent man. He's a good man. And he didn't do anything to earn a bullet in the chest.

The Nationalist Review wrote in their in-depth report, "the 48-year-old 'professional snowboarder' was previously featured on a Bloomberg promo for the riots where he described himself as part of the rioter's security apparatus. Reinoehl touted his military experience and described events that led up to him receiving a bullet grazing on his arm. In the video, a neck tattoo identical to the shooter's own tattoo is seen on his neck."
Watch the interview here:
The shooter appeared to have a bandage wrapped around one of his arms to his elbow, the same way that Reinoehl's arm was wrapped in the Bloomberg video.Rioters in the city cheered and celebrated the murder by one of their peers.
For several hours, rumors were circulating online that a rioter had been killed by a supporter of President Donald Trump, but there was a big celebration when they found out it was actually the other way around.
"Everybody, I just got word. The person who died was a Patriot Prayer person," the Black Lives Matter leader tells the excited crowd. "He was a f***ing Nazi. Our community held its own and took out the trash. I'm not going to shed any tears over a Nazi dying!"
Following the fatal shooting, rioters also surrounded and assaulted Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson. When Gibson retreated into a gas station, rioters broke the windows and threatened the owner.Video of the antifa mob smashing up a petrol station in downtown Portland and trying to break inside.

They subsequently identified another person involved in the attack.

Suspected Portland shooter called himself '100% Antifa,' was previously arrested, but released and never charged - report
31 Aug, 2020 15:33
The identity of the man under investigation for the shooting death of a Donald Trump supporter in Portland, Oregon has been revealed. He is reportedly an ex-military Black Lives Matter supporter who calls himself "100% Antifa."
Though he has not been formally named by police, the Oregonian is reporting that Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, is under investigation for the death of Aaron 'Jay' Donielson, a member of the right-wing Patriot Prayer group who was shot and killed during clashing protests in Portland on Saturday.
Reinoehl's sister was interviewed by the paper and confirmed that screenshots of the suspected shooter were of her brother, who has been estranged from most of his family.
The distinctive mark that confirmed his identity to family members is a tattoo on his neck of a raised fist.
"We reached out to police and confirmed that we recognized Michael in the screenshots," the sister, whom the paper did not identify by name, said.

Reinoehl's social media posts include him calling himself "100% Antifa" and talking about a coming "war" in America that will include "casualties."
"It will be a war and like all wars there will be casualties," he wrote. He called those protesting across the nation in cities like Portland and Kenosha his "brothers in arms."
Reinoehl has a criminal history, including charges stemming from a July 5 protest for carrying a loaded weapon, resisting arrest, and interfering with police. Reinoehl was supposed to appear in court on July 30 to face the charges, but he was released and the charges were never pursued. The Multnomah County District Attorney's office is currently reviewing the case.
The suspected shooter had also been charged for allegedly racing his 17-year-old son and driving 111mph (178kph), as well as carrying a loaded Glock pistol he did not have a concealed carry permit for, while transporting his 11-year-old daughter. He was charged with driving under the influence, recklessly endangering another, driving while suspended and uninsured, and unlawful possession of a gun for that incident, for which there is a warrant out for his arrest.
Reinoehl's social media posts have gotten particular attention as both Democrats and Republicans have attempted to pin the blame for the shooting and other violence at protests on one another, with both #BidenRiots and #TrumpRiots trending on Twitter following the incident in Portland, which stemmed from Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters clashing with a vehicle caravan of pro-Trump supporters.
