According to Portland Police:
On Sunday, August 22, 2021 at 5:47p.m., Central Precinct officers responded to a report of shots heard in the area of Southwest 2nd Avenue and Southwest Yamhill Street. Officers learned of a suspect firing a gun, a description, and a direction of travel. Three minutes later they located the suspect at Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest Alder Street. He was arrested and a gun was seized as evidence (photo). Officers booked Dennis G. Anderson, 65, of Gresham, into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.
Apparently, the man was stalked by armed Antifa before the shooting started.
Before the shootout in downtown Portland yesterday, the man was followed & had pistols pointed at him. Don’t know what led up to this & what happened between this & shoot out. The older man was arrested & antifa stole the bullet casings from their side. pic.twitter.com/9MOCMtbmAf

You can see in this video that he was shot at (note the bullet impact on the wall behind him).

Around the 16 second mark, you can briefly see the at-large antifa shooter. This is part of the shootout that happened in downtown Portland on 22 Aug. Antifa say they went to save black children from a white man who talked about lynchings. https://t.co/4kB5v7zGiV

It also appears that another person = presumably associated with Antifa based on how he is dressed – was going to get involved in the shooting but decided not to. Probably due to seeing all the cameras pointed in his direction.

Antifa swooped in to pick up the brass and clean up the evidence from their side.
Portland Police claim to be looking for the Antifa shooter:
Investigators have confirmed that there was at least one more shooter during this incident, and they’re requesting help from witnesses to help locate those involved persons.
The Enhanced Community Safety Team (ECST) is investigating this shooting and has recovered evidence of at least one other gun being fired. They believe a group of people may have been pursuing Anderson shortly before the gunfire started. They’re working to determine if there were any potential victims and/or suspects in that group.
But given the totality of the situation – how Portland Police have dealt with Antia in the past and how systematic and organized Antifa is – I suspect that nothing will come of this side of the investigation.
Antifa can stalk people with guns.
If you shoot at Antifa in (presumably) self-defense, you will get nailed to the wall when they get off.
Antifa own the streets as long as the government is aligned with them.
And a ‘proud boy’ was just sentenced to 5 months in prison for burning a BLM flag and ‘attempting to acquire a large capacity magazine’.
This behavior might be a good idea in Portland. In other places, I see a way to lure them into an ambush. Get them to chase a guy away from their area and into a kill zone …
Use their own prey drive against them. I like it.
But … You need to be able to protect the stalking-horse, both during and afterwards.
And convince the cops to do what’s right, or be treated like pAntifa.
I watched that video like 10 times. It sure looks to me like the dude behind the trash can (or whatever that was) fired the first shot. The hit on the wall behind him was after and in response to his first shot.
Granted, the video doesn’t show what led up to that so maybe he legitimately was in fear of imminent death or great bodily harm, but that video doesn’t show it. It looks like he’s the aggressor there. Unless I’m just missing something.
I’m not saying he was wrong, I’m saying the video doesn’t prove his innocence.
Heck, the Kyle Rittenhouse video clearly shows him trying to flee his attackers before shooting them when he had no other choice and he was still charged, this one is MUCH less clear-cut that that one.
My working hypothesis is that antifa has, since Rittenhouse, learned to better edit the videos before releasing them.
@Sailorcurt: I thought similarly. It does look like hat guy fired first–in this clip, anyway.
Still, the idea that these LARPing schmucks are shooting at someone in broad daylight, with video running, doesn’t suggest that we have Rhodes scholars here.
Oy vey.
The video doesn’t show he is innocent but it also doesn’t show enough to prove he was the aggressor. I wonder if this goes to court would the fact that the people shooting at him ran away and did not surrender to the police be used in his defense. After all if they were just defending themselves why would they run from the police?
Of course, arrest the victim, not the perps.
Self defense has no place in Democrat controlled cities.
FREE KYLE!
At this point, I legitimately would not care if people (patriots OR Antifa) started dragging Portland Gestapo officers and their families out of their homes and necklacing them in the street.
Those subhuman monsters earned it.
