“The Facebook pages for the right-wing group Patriot Prayer and its leader Joey Gibson were removed from the social media platform on Friday. Gibson confirmed to KOIN 6 News that the social media giant removed the pages. ‘Antifa groups murdered my friend while he is walking home, and instead of the multibillion dollar company banning Portland antifa pages they ban Patriot Prayer and myself,’ Gibson said in a statement. The removal of the pages came hours after federal authorities shot and killed Michael Reinoehl, a man connected with the investigation into the deadly shooting of Aaron J. Danielson, Patriot Prayer supporter, near a pro-Trump caravan rally and counterprotest last Saturday. Facebook confirmed the pages were removed due to its ‘Dangerous Individuals and Organizations’ policy, which OPB’s Troy Brynelson first reported. ‘They were removed as part of our ongoing efforts to remove Violent Social Militias from our platforms,’ a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement, who pointed to the policy that was expanded last month. Joey Gibson was charged with felony riot for his alleged involvement in a 2019 May Day brawl at a Northeast Portland bar called Cider Riot” – KOIN.
