The estate of Antifa terrorist Mike Reinoehl, gunned down in September 2020 by US marshals in a parking lot south of Seattle just days after he had canceled MAGA terrorist Aaron “Jay” Danielson during a melee in Downtown Portland, filed a federal lawsuit against various agencies involved in the pursuit and death of Reinoehl, alleging it was effectively a targeted hit and marshals had no plans to take the 48 year-old leftist hooligan alive, Oregon Public Broadcasting reports.
The whole thing was shady as hell. Of course law enforcement are going to be locked and loaded when they close in on an armed suspect wanted for murder and will be quick to blast him, which is why when the news of Reinoehl’s death first broke nobody questioned it. But then the next week the Washington Post reported a witness claimed Reinoehl wasn’t obviously armed and made no motion to pull out a gun as claimed by one deputy US marshal – contradicted by another deputy marshal who said Reinoehl had actually pulled out the gun and pointed it at them. The next month disgraced then-President Trump bragged at a rally that Reinoehl had been summarily executed on his orders which, uh, definitely raises some questions about whether this was on the level.
“We sent in the US Marshals, took 15 minutes and it was over,” Trump told his fans in North Carolina. “They knew who he was, they didn’t want to arrest him, and 15 minutes, that ended.”
