Trump supporter hit with $250K lawsuit after he’s caught on video shooting paintballs at counter-protesters

Published 10 mins ago on September 2, 2020



A Trump supporter who allegedly shot a woman with a paintball gun during clashes between far-right and far-left groups in Downtown Portland is being sued for $250,000, according to The Oregonian.

In her lawsuit, Meg McLain said she was observing a pro-Trump rally when Alan Swinney intentionally shot her with a paintball gun, bruising her breast. During the rally, counter protesters arrived in the scene and unrest ensued.


Swinney was photographed pointing the paintball gun towards the counter protesters and firing. He also apparently pointed an actual firearm at the counter protesters but did not shoot. According to McLain’s attorney, police ignored Swinney when she told them what he had done.

1. Damn, he should have worn a mask

[Me.]

2. She Should Sue The Police Too

[KPN]

3. THIS

[Ferrets are Cool]

35. agreed

[Illumination]

42. Yes. What good are they? They're not doing their job. What happened to "Protect &

Serve"? Who are they protecting & serving? People that incite violence, damage property & kill? Portland PD needs major revamping A.S.A.P.! It would be interesting to see how Mr. Tough Guy Bully conducts himself in a courtroom & other instigators...

[2naSalit]

4. I hope other lawsuits are filed...

And that the plaintiffs win.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Good. Hit the a&&holes in their pocketbooks and also, other legal remedies, available to ...

good decent people, simply protesting. This is a perfect and legal remedy. I'm surprised that the guy didn't get arresting for assault, after all, he did possibly fire a projectile at someone, aka a gun (even thought it's just a paintball gun, it's still a gun, capable of harm).

[BComplex]

9. You can own the truck he rode in on!

Sue the snot out of that guy!

[CurtEastPoint]

11. omfg here he is with his woman and two BLACK dudes giving the WHITE POWER sign.

[Grasswire2]

14. what the hell is that about???

I never saw anything like that in my life.

[Grokenstein]

25. Proud to be stupid.

Weird Al needs to update his song.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

31. What in the actual fuck?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

6. RWNJ

Need to be videoed and doxxed,than busted and fined big fines and put in jail . That immunity cops have needs to be ended.

Doxx and expose the police that let this shit happen too. And Sue them.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. Here is the 'Proud Boy'

Boy, my ass. This is a grown up fucking man w/o a brain in his GD head.

[CrispyQ]

8. He looks stupid and ridiculous.

[iscooterliberally]

20. He forgot to wear his underwear on the outside too.

[tom_kelly]

13. Comicon contestant right there

[dchill]

21. Comicon reject, maybe.

[Greybnk48]

15. I'll bet he still spends most of his time playing video games. n/t

[iluvtennis]

17. SMDH

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. This.

❤️ Nicholas Cage

[Grasswire2]

18. what does that tag mean? VER MIN

We're men?

[Chellee]

27. Vermin?

🐀🐭🐛🐜🦗🕷

[SeattleVet]

40. I believe that is 'Vermin Supreme', street performance artist and political candidate.

Can be quite the agitator - he's the one that got a bunch of the tRumpies to start chanting "Suck tRump's cock" at a rally.

?t=150

[PatrickforO]

34. When I see a Trump supporter like this, two words come to mind:

DOMESTIC TERRORIST.

[hibbing]

37. He needs to step up his cosplay outfit

I mean have some fashion sense, that's a hot mess. I realize it was a serious assault, but mocking these idiots is fun.

Peace

[CTyankee]

46. As my mother would say "That boy's not right."

[Qutzupalotl]

50. Are his legs missing? I can't see his thighs.

Dude forgot to camo the rest of his ridiculous ass.

[lunasun]

51. I guess if that's all the Goodwill store had no choice but to work with it

[SledDriver]

10. So this is a civil suit then?

Why is this not a criminal... oh, right...

[FBaggins]

23. Criminal would make more sense

$250k sounds unlikely for "bruised my breast with a paintball" damages. But people have been charged with multiple offenses for randomly shooting people with a paintball gun.

Disorderly conduct... harassment... reckless endangerment.

[Yeehah]

47. Shooting someone with paint balls is assault and battery

So, I have the same question.

Pro-Trump supporter who shot paintballs into downtown Portland crowd is sued for $250,000

[Grasswire2]

16. he lives in TX and travels to protests as a proud boy??

Who is paying these people to do this?

[MyOwnPeace]

19. Soros? Oh, wait - he's OUR guy!

However, I'm STILL waiting for my last check................

[SaveOurDemocracy]

28. I'm still waiting for my FIRST check!!

[catrose]

29. I figure I have the wrong address, but I keep asking people, and no one knows the right one.

[dchill]

22. But the PRESIDENT said paint is a defensive!

What gives!?

[Bengus81]

45. MacaNINNY says "so what" to paint balls

Like they can't hurt anyone like a bullet can. Oh ok....stand still Blondie and let someone shoot you in the face with a paintball.

[Yeehah]

48. She is vile

Her soul is corrupt and she doesn't care.

[dchill]

49. MTE - My Thoughts Exactly.

[Ligyron]

24. I thought by now we'd hear someone got the licence plate # of many in that caravan.

Somebody must have gotten a shot of a few plates... although, come to think of it, "shot" may be the wrong word to use in this instance.

Pictures, video of the lawbreaking hooligans and their vehicles in action must exist and hopefully they are being identified and appropriate action, however unwilling and hesitant, is being forced upon the authorities responsible for protecting the public from these terrorists.

[MyOwnPeace]

36. It won't matter..............

It is painfully obvious that these nut-bags were "encouraged" to drive in and have their "peaceful protest" - knowing that SOMEONE would push it over the edge, either side. Just like Kenosha, we're now seeing that they are claiming that our 17-yr old "patriot" was defending himself from attack, someone perhaps even using a SKATEBOARD! (boy, I hope ISIS and Russia don't find out how lethal they are - we'll have swarms skating in from all over the world!).

If the "authorities" wouldn't take action when she complained, ain't no number of license plates that are gonna' make a difference to "the Man."

[George II]

26. It's time to start holding these idiots accountable - hurt them in their wallets and, if possible...

....hit them with criminal penalties.

That idiot wasn't "defending" himself, as trump said yesterday. That guy was out to cause trouble, and he's getting it!

[Lasher]

30. I have played paintball and might do so again

It's good to check yourself after the game is over. Chances are, you will look like a Jersey cow from all the bruises This is not a sport for the feint at heart.

[PatrickforO]

33. The troubling thing is when she told the cops about it they didn't do anything.

This shows that the Portland police have been infiltrated by white nationalists over the years. I've seen articles about this - and the Kenosha police - no question.

[MyOwnPeace]

38. Indeed!

Just as the one clip of the person I believe was the Chief of Police in Kenosha had said: "If 'those' people had been at home like they should have been because of the curfew - nobody would have been shot."

CAN YOU F**KING BELIEVE THAT!?!?!?!

Yes, and if those 2,977 people who died in the Twin Towers had called off instead of going to work...............

GAWD HELP US!!!!!!

GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

[Roland99]

39. This guy has really made a name for himself and he's been well-documented at various times

[Tiger8]

41. Go after the weakling driving the Toxic Masculinity Truck

Trucks and guns do not make a man. These are powerless, self-hating little twits, with guns, trump and big lifted trucks covering up their insecurities.

Lifted high rise trucks kill other people in cars, as do guns. It's time we stop sacrificing innocent lives so they feel better about their damaged masculinity.

[Mopar151]

52. It takes a short man, to drive a tall truck! N/t

[NCjack]

43. He lives at home with Mother.

[louzke9]

44. IF THIS HAPPENS.....

File a report with the police. In most states this is considered assault! Intentionally causing physical harm to someone. Here is a recent incident in Rochester, NY. https://www.rochesterfirst.com/crime/4-arrested-after-several-injuries-from-paintball-gun-throughout-the-city/

[Squidly]

53. gawd damn it pisses me off!!

when the orange one said "it's just paint" OBVIOUSLY he has never been hit by a paintball.

I used to be an avid paintball player and I can tell you, it hurts like hell when you get hit on unprotected areas. When playing, we always ran our markets (what the guns are called) through a chronograph to make sure they were under a certain feet per second threshold. Too high and they can actually break skin. Even at lower speeds they STILL cause welts and bruising.

Just paint my ass...tRump can go fk himself
