So if he didn't have a gun, or any way to defend himself, and this Antifa crowd maimed or killed him,
would those in the crowd been held accountable? I highly doubt it...
these antifa punks have been trying to lock people in a building and then burn the building down...
they needed to be rounded up and thrown in jail... and then burn the jail down...
It looks like they intentionally targeted Strickland the day he was accosted and pursued. He'd been reporting on the "Portland Protesting Crowd" for a long time, and doing a good job of showing how ridiculous they were. They'd always left him alone, until they didn't.
It also looks like his lawyers threw him under the bus, opting for a bench trial because they feared the jury pool wasn't promising. They thought it was open-and-shut self-defense, and that he would be cleared. They didn't bother to defend him much.
