The New York Times certainly does love to try their best to spin an unspinnable story in favour of the Anti-fa guy.
It was self-defense, he was about to be maced. The Trump supporters planned on driving around Portland shooting everyone with paintballs and may have gone through areas where protests occur nightly (who knows if they planned on running them over?) The Trump supporter he killed was about to murder a black man because he was racist, according to the Anti-fa guy.
He was a trained de-escalator who was forced to act. He's a professional snowboarder. He thought the guy was pulling a gun.
Meanwhile, it's an indefensible story. A guy who brought his own daughter to a violent riot and who was out on bail for street racing while hammered, with a loaded gun in the car executed a Trump supporter who was walking home, not bothering anyone in a sneak attack just died in a shootout with the police.
The New York Times' fall from grace is disgusting. It used to be so credible.
