President Donald Trump in a Fox News interview Saturday described the fatal shooting of an antifa-linked murder suspect by US Marshals last week as an act of "retribution." ... The fatal shooting by the law enforcement officers has come under scrutiny, with one witness claiming that they did not try and arrest the suspect before opening fire.

Trump has seized on the August 29 killing of a far-right activist during protests in Portland to hammer home his attack on anti-racism protesters.

President Donald Trump described the killing of a left-wing activist and murder suspect shot dead by US Marshals as "retribution," in an interview with Fox News.

In the interview, Trump remarked: "This guy was a violent criminal, and the US Marshals killed him. And I'll tell you something -- that's the way it has to be. There has to be retribution."

@Popehat
Trump did not need William Barr to put the word "retribution" in his mouth

But
@TheJusticeDept
press release sure reads like a justification of retribution

4. Trump has basically given permission for many more of these killings...

He isn't even using dog whistles anymore.

Stay tuned for many more before/after the election.

5. Watch how this story becomes

a Political Ad against Trump. If not,I give up.

6. Listen close

Like Pence said about meat. I got your retribution right here fat boy. For you and your entire cult. Gubment trained, battlefield experience. So fuck all your threats while you intent to hide in a bunker.
Wanna brag about our weapons, we got this thing called bunker busters.
For fucks sake, an illegitimate traitorous criminal squatting in Our house, the house of the people, threatening 3/4 of the country. If our military is needed to remove him and his cast of thieves, I will re-enlist right now. No need for my training to go to waste. At least I will know why I am fighting this time, and who for.
Vote and end this hell, send them all back to their bunkers with 24/7 QAnon, Fox and pro “resslon”. Any red hat that pops up.....smash it with a mallet.
Whatta ya got to lose? Can we post a list that long?

7. And now the US Marshals are fascist. If Oregon has a shred of rule of law,

its legislature should eliminate qualified immunity until all LEO's EARN it with two years of clean records of public interaction.

Law enforcement provocations against public safety are what will trigger militias before this year is over.

8. No trial.

9. So, Barr's new title is Avenger General of the United States,...

head of the Department of Retribution?

Holy shit, if Trump somehow steals the election, I am so out of here. I don't want to be one of those Germans who didn't get out in 1933.

10. What's he getting out of this?

The appearance of being a tough guy? A threat against anyone who takes to the street to oppose him?

You can see what he has on his mind. He knows he'll most likely lose, so he's setting up for a fight. He's not going quietly. None of the GOP are thinking that way.

We are a nation of laws. We can't have a pRes who advocates the extra judicial murder of ANYONE--not you, not me, not the murder suspect who is fleeing arrest. Everyone is entitled to his day in court.

But, you guys know this. Who doesn't know this? And, we have a pRes who would like to impress his mob allies, his dictator buddies, and anyone who might be a threat to him that if he wants to kill you, he will. It's just less hidden, like a trial balloon. Who will object? Nobody? Okay, when I'm reelected, I'll eliminate anyone I want to--like Lil' Kim...and all those others...

I think this guy who got shot was just a convenient, useful tool for this Orange Monster. But, my Goodness, our judicial system is diminished by this. And now, we can see a crack...

Man, this really bothers me. And on a daily basis, we are watching this happen. None of us are safe.

VOTE. Put yer masks on, banditos, and head to the polls with your trusty weapon, YOUR VOTE, and kick these vermin to the curb.

Look, your masks can be as big as you want. Wear a hat, glasses, your mask, and none of the poll monitors will even know what you look like. Get it done!

11. This is NOT ok & this is NOT America, who we are & what we stand for!...

[dobleremolque]

12. Have we suddenly awakened

in El Salvador? or the Philippines? Trump et al are okay with right-wing death squads?

[mike_c]

13. exactly how is someone "linked" to a nonexistant organization...

...that originated in the fever dreams of paranoid white supremacists? Everyone who joined antifa please raise your hand. Now everyone who opposes fascism please raise your hand.
