Witness Speaks Out After Homicide Victim In Portland Shooting Is Identified As Wearing A ‘Patriot Prayer’ Hat

A member of a conservative group called “Patriot Prayer” was shot in Portland. The group organized a peaceful rally in support of Donald Trump in the increasingly violent Portland, Oregon. According to Fox News, the “victim was identified as Aaron “Jay” Danielson of Portland. Photos taken of the body show he was wearing a Patriot Prayer hat. Danielson also went by the name Jay Bishop, according to a statement on Patriot Prayer’s Facebook page.”

*The victim’s legal name is Aaron Danielson, but he went by Jay Bishop. For the sake of continuity I will be identifying him as Jay Bishop for the remainder of the article.*

The video shows two men walking together on a street in Portland when someone yells:

“Hey! Hey, we got on right here! We got a Trumper right here!” 

The video cuts to black and all you hear are the two shots that killed Jay Bishop.

Now the other man in the video survived the shooting and is speaking out, telling his side of what happened the night he says he witnessed his friend’s murder.

The unidentified man said that what the world saw happen in Portland has been happening for decades.

He says that in the last 95 days, they have experienced an increase in attacks on conservatives for having different views. He claims that what happened this weekend in Portland was ” an escalation” of their previous behavior toward conservatives.

What he said next sent chills up my spine.

He said: “They executed my partner. They hunted him down. They hunted us down. They recognized our ‘patriot prayer’ hats.”

That’s when he hears the rioters say: “We’ve got a couple of them right here. We’ve got a couple of them right here. Pull it out. Pull it out.”

The two men turned around – before either man could register that their attackers had a gun, two shots went off, and the gunman ran away.

He said that it took a moment to process that someone shot a gun at them. He then checked himself to make sure the person who was shot wasn’t him. That is when he looked down and realized his buddy was lying dead on the ground.

He said that his friend isn’t a racist and that his friend died because he believed something different than his attacker.

Isn’t that a scary thought?

The freedom of speech and being able to have your own view on life is the bedrock of our country. Our country has been down a path that strips away our freedom of speech. In 2016, our nation became comfortable with the idea that it would be ok to punch a ‘MAGA’ person in the face. In fact, it was widely laughed at and encouraged by the media and pop culture to make fun of or physically assault anyone that supported Trump. It has become socially acceptable to be racist to white Americans.

They want us to pay for breaking their elitist line of succession. We have to stay silent, or the woke mob will cause us to lose our jobs, homes, friends, and family.

Now we must be silent about our beliefs, or we could die for them.

Democrats refuse to denounce the acts of violence committed against conservatives and often claim that our attacks are made up or conspiracy theories.

The person off-camera asks the man if there is anything he would ask President Trump to do in Portland to help stop the violence. He said, “Send troops. Arrest them. Portland is as corrupt as any place you’ve ever seen, any place you have ever heard about in the movies.”

I understand why Trump hasn’t sent in the national guard into Portland. I know that he wants to wait until the Governors or Mayors of the areas in turmoil ask him to come in. I know the legality behind why Trump is waiting to send in the troops. I also know that Trump has the legal authority under the Insurrection Act to stop the domestic terrorism that has captured many Democrat-run cities.

I know it all, and my opinion is to send in the freaking troops already.

Americans deserve to live in a peaceful country, and we pay taxes so that our government, local and federal, has the funds to keep us safe. The local government has failed to keep terrorism from controlling their city.

It is time for the federal government to act. I was fine allowing Portland to get a taste of what their lives would be if they keep voting the way they do, but its time it is stopped. President Trump has a responsibility to keep the United States free of terrorism. Terrorists control the city of Portland.

If we continue down this road, more Americans are going to lose their lives. It isn’t the terrorists going to jail for murder. They go to jail at night and are released the next morning, ready to cause chaos and destruction. American patriots, however, get beat up, shot at, and are arrested and charged with murder when it is clear it is self-defense.

Trump has shown Americans what their cities will look like under Joe Biden, and now it is time to show them how a strong leader can put insurrection down quickly.
