– The leader of a Portland, Ore., group that backs President Trump is pleading with supporters not to retaliate for the fatal shooting of a 39-year-old man during a protest over the weekend. Joey Gibson of the Patriot Prayer says his friend, Aaron Danielson, was walking home Saturday night after a pro-Trump demonstration when he was shot, Reuters reports. “We are not going to commit any acts of revenge, we’re going to make sure justice is served,” Gibson says in a Facebook Live video calling for a memorial event for Danielson on Saturday. “I don’t understand where all this hatred is coming from.” Gibson, a Christian conservative, says Danielson was not a “Nazi” or a “fascist” or a “white supremacist.” “I don’t understand where all this hatred is coming from,” says Gibson, who espouses non-violence but is accused by anti-fascist groups of provoking confrontations. An online video showed left-wing protesters cheering in Portland on Saturday night when a woman announced the person killed was a Patriot Prayer supporter and a “Nazi.” “Our community held its own and took out the trash, I’m not going to shed any tears over a Nazi,” said the unidentified female speaker. Nobody has been charged in the case yet. (Trump has seized on civil unrest in Portland and other cities to criticize Democratic leaders and call for “law and order” ahead of the Nov. 3 presidential election.)
