[Thread] Joey Gibson trial for felony riot starts with pretrial motions. One motion by defense tried to prevent testimony from woman who was knocked out by Nazi Ian Kramer, with a baton.
Judge denied motion to keep her from testifying, but agreed she couldn't talk about her broken vertebrae/concussion as she isn't a doctor. These are injuries Andy Ngo falsely tried to claim were faked. #CiderRiot

Motion granted to prevent Joey Gibson from being referred to as leader of the group, but not "perceived" leader of group.
He is leader of Patriot Prayer. These right wingers met at his rallies.
Another motion doesn't allow his beliefs to be referred to as "extremist beliefs" 3/
David Wenwei Chou that shot six (killing one) in a church in Cali this weekend is white supremacist & #MAGA activist, Jourdin Davis's roomate.
The shooting is being deemed a hate crime for targeting Taiwanese elders latimes.com/california/sto…
Here is Jourdin Davis talking about plans to shoot migrants from caravan, even if they are legal, calling it an invasion
Vadim Mozyrsky running for @JoAnnPDX position, paints himself as a "progressive", while using Right-wing outrage & copaganda to get votes. He went on far-right christian podcast, Slavic Vote, founded by homophobe Dmitry Sashchenko, who was just at #QAnon reawaken America
Thread🧵
Somehow Vadim feels like being endorsed by the Portland Business Alliance (PBA), multiple developers & Real Estate associations makes him look good. I guess it looks good for those that matter, the millionaires & billionaires. PBA will come back into play later 2/
Vadim was one of only a few people (including @save_pdx who leaked fake Joann hit & Run) to testify against re-allocating police funds to community. He regurgitates falsity that spike in gun violence is caused by budget cut, even though violent crime has spiked nationwide. 3/
@DanTilkinKOIN6 pulling the "DA backed by rich jew." Same Jew the far right hates based on antisemitic conspiracy theories. Thing is, Soros didn't even donate to @DeckerforDA, it was @DrugPolicyAct that donated to Decker. Soros has donated to @DrugPolicyAct. Reaching a bit. 1/3
@DanTilkinKOIN6 why not do a story on the guy that donated 10x that amount, the 11 out of state donors that donated to @KevinBarton4DA or @nikestore, Phil Knight donating $100k to Barton. Or that Decker has 2x as many small donors (under $250) as Barton, or..
2/3
...that @KevinBarton4DA uses advertising co. owned by Mark Parrish who is connected to Patriot Prayer members, Bundy affiliates and homophobic Christian fundamentalist groyp PRIE. Not to mention Barton's shitty track record and fear mongering. 3/3
Ted Wheeler press conference now about shooting on Saturday. @Rjaellis starts with question about Wheeler statement last year about making protesters "hurt a little" and if he feels responsible for political violence. Ofcourse he doesn't take responsibility
@ChiefCLovell claims he's not gonna speculate about political motive by shooter who yelled at protesters calling them terrorists and had tons of evidence showing he was vocal about wanting to kill BLM and Antifa
The Portland mass shooter has been identified as Ben Smith,44, who has a history of violence and has vocally talked about killing Antifa and BLM protesters in the past. He became more radicalized over the last 2 years and is a fan of Andy Ngo.
(This is older photo w/out beard) 1/
Ben Smith IS NOT A HOMEOWNER & the killing WAS politically motivated. He is a part of the #furry community which has a history of alt-right ties. Furrys fall all across the political spectrum though. Reports that he sells ghost guns & is a gun fanatic. 2/ rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
#PortlandMassShooter Ben Smith followed Andy Ngo on you tube. Sources say he was a big fan of Ngo. It is unclear if Ben Smith knew about JFPK March from Andy Ngo. Ngo demonized them as armed extremists that attack the public. Smith called victims terrorists before opening fire 3/
