https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/09/pro-trump-supporter-who-shot-paintballs-into-downtown-portland-crowd-is-sued-for-250000.htmlA woman who says she was injured by a paintball fired by a pro-Trump supporter during a clash between right-wing and opposing demonstrators in downtown Portland last month has filed a $250,000 lawsuit against the man she says shot her.
In her lawsuit filed Monday, Meg McLain says she was observing the rally next to the Multnomah County Justice Center on Aug. 22 when Alan Swinney intentionally shot her, leaving a large red welt and circular injury to one of her breasts.
Swinney couldnt be reached for comment Tuesday.
About 300 people attended the rally to support President Trump and police or to counterprotest. Supporters of the conservative group Proud Boys as well as the left-leaning Black Lives Matter and antifa movements were all present.
More at link. I sure hope she wins!

theyre just paint....nothing wrong with just paint. Or something to that effect insinuating paint balls arent as bad as rubber or real bullets. He didnt say balls though.

And just so happened to find himself in Oregon to shoot people.
I certainly hope Meg wins her suit against this terrorist Alan Swinney.
