Yes they mention it but why is it not a front page headline story like the Kenosha shooting? I know why and really we all do. It doesn't fit the narrative of the mainstream media that Trump supporters are evil and deplorable.

Is it OK to murder a Trump supporter? I've yet to see any liberal politician denounce this killing but still see them talking about Kenosha.

Why is it OK for liberals to cheer about a murder?

Good job @herring_RN revealing the partisan nonsense behind these efforts.

Excuse me while I laugh at your faux outrage.

Are those serious questions? Really?

I mean, if Trump supporters don't want to be considered evil or deplorable they should probably stop supporting a deplorable man and engaging in deplorable behavior and dialog in his defense. Or maybe they just can't help themselves?

Nonsense? Cheering the death of a Trump supporter is nonsense? Are you that obtuse to realize how horrid it is to cheer the death of anybody?

Kenosha is still on CNN around the clock. I rarely see a mention on any of the big networks about this latest atrocity of BLM. I can not understand how any "nurse" can condone the cheering of the death of a person who supports an opposite political platform as theirs.

The liberals have really let us know how they feel and it's atrocious.

Oh mah gawd

What's weird is NONE of those other articles said anything about groups of people cheering over the death of someone.

I guess anything's possible when you make *** up.

Why is it OK for liberals to cheer when a Trump supporter is murdered? Is it now OK for Trump supporters to cheer when a BLM rioter is killed? Is that where our politics has devolved?

Exactly! They are main stream media controlled by liberals. You are spot on!

It's cute that you believe that you've proven that nurses have condoned the cheering of a death. Of course, credibility and critical thought haven't really been a focus of any of these threads offered for discussion.

Excuse me while I laugh at the idea that a Trump apologist would actually be able to correctly identify atrocious behavior.

One man was shot and killed during protests in Portland, Ore., overnight. The shooting happened while a pro-Trump caravan of cars was driving through the city.

In Portland, Ore., there have been nightly demonstrations since George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis police custody back in May. Last night, a caravan of cars, many flying flags in support of President Trump, was making its way through city streets when there was gunfire, and one man was killed. We have reporter Jonathan Levinson of Oregon Public Broadcasting on the line now from Portland.

LEVINSON: Yes. A few hundred vehicles paraded through downtown Portland yesterday as part of this Trump rally. Vehicles were waving Trump flags and, you know, Gadsden flags, thin blue line American flags. It's important - some context here is that last weekend, a pro-Trump rally in Portland devolved into - I mean, it was hours of violence on the street. Protesters and counterprotesters were shooting paintball guns at each other and spraying each other with mace. And a lot of the pro-Trump protesters were armed, and one of them actually pulled a handgun out on the crowd. So everyone was on edge yesterday from last week. In yesterday's event's facebook page, attendees were encouraged to concealed carry, so that added to it.

They drove through the city. Local law enforcement agencies along the way into the city were blocking intersections for them. The huge crowd of vehicles, you know, blocked traffic as they drove around downtown for a couple of hours. There were a few fights. Some of the pro-Trump demonstrators were spraying people with mace from the back of their pickup trucks. But compared to previous - the last weekend, it was actually considerably more peaceful until, around 8:45, a protester was shot downtown, and we soon learned that he didn't survive…

… ELLIOTT: Is there any indication of what happened that might have led up to the shooting or where the shot even came from?

LEVINSON: There's not a lot of information. There is a video online. A streamer happened to be broadcasting, and he caught the shooting in the background from about half a block away. You see a car in the street fire two shots at the person, who was standing on the sidewalk. But it's unclear why or what had precipitated the shooting.

ELLIOTT: Any official response from officials there in Portland, briefly?

LEVINSON: Well, it's still early here. You know, Portland has become the president's new favorite focal point, so he tweeted about clueless Democratic leadership, Portland's incompetent mayor. He said the state should send in the National Guard. Last night, in a text message to one of my colleagues, the mayor said that, you know, he's gathering information now, that he'll be transparent with the public and is asking for people to remain calm and not add to this tragedy.

ELLIOTT: Thank you. That's Jonathan Levinson of Oregon Public Broadcasting in Portland…
