Patriot Prayer has a history of provoking left-wing groups: 'This was just a matter of time'

A skirmish between alt-right and Black Lives Matters protesters ended Saturday night with the shooting death of Aaron "Jay" Danielson, a supporter of the far-right group Patriot Prayer, according to the Associated Press.

Patriot Prayer, a small group of conservative activists based in Washington state, is known for gathering progressive cities in the Pacific Northwest to host provocative events.

Danielson was wearing a Patriot Prayer hat at the time of his death. On Sunday, President Trump tweeted "rest in peace Jay," and retweeted a message claiming that Danielson had been "murdered in Portland by ANTIFA."

The group is led by Joey Gibson, a right-wing activist who has held pro-Trump rallies in Portland and other cities since 2016. Supporters are often armed, and the events have drawn counterprotesters from around the region.

"Their ideology is extremely vague. They're pretty much just pro-God, pro-second amendment. That's their whole thing," Tenold told Insider. "There is a lot of member overlap with Proud Boys."

1. I wanna know why he was using a fake name.

3. He wasn't supposed to have firearms in his possession.

We have to wait and see what type of video pops up to see whether he had a firearm at the time he was shot. The video that was posted yesterday make it seem like he stumbled a ways from where he was shot before falling to the ground.

2. Are officials sure that a boogaloo boi didn't kill the guy.

Anti-racist protesters aren’t known for carrying arms, but the boogaloos are, and the boogaloos have been hanging out at every BLM and anti-facist protest.
