Donald Trump Supporter Pulls Out Gun At Black Lives Matter Rally, Pandemonium Ensues (DETAILS)

By Georgia Bristow -
Things got heated at a Black Lives Matter rally in Portland Thursday when a local conservative and known agitator named Michael Strickland pulled a Glock.
He was backing away from several people and grabbed near his waistband just moments before facing a crowd of people and pulling his Glock 27 from its holster. He widened is stance and pointed the gun around, shouting for everyone to back off.
The response was much as one would expect, people screaming, hiding, and dropping to the ground in an attempt to keep from being shot by the lunatic with the gun. While this was happening the majority of the people protesting police killings were unaware of what was going on.
Several protesters continued to approach Strickland, one of them was Ben Kerensa. He said:
We just wanted him to leave.
Michael Strickland is affiliated with the YouTube channel that shows up to liberal protests, films, and then posts the videos online. The name of that channel is Laughing at Liberals.
According to Kerensa:
Strickland takes pictures of women and minorities and puts them online with their names and addresses. He stalks and harasses them.
Kerensa says that Strickland reached for his gun before anyone even approached him......................

(15,810 posts)His claim of being afraid for his life isn't going to fly since one of the people he apparently threatened in the crowd was an undercover cop.
What an idiot.
