In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement"...
As the Left — including at least most of the Democrat Party and its sock-puppet media — continue their incendiary and ever-more dangerous rhetoric against President Donald Trump, a psycho has been fatally shot by law enforcement in Portland, Oregon (who knew?), after the wanted man was connected to a shotgun loaded with shells inscribed with messages threatening the president.
As reported by KATU in Portland, police shot and killed the man while trying to take him into custody at an apartment building on Thursday morning.
The man, who has not been publicly identified as of this article, was accused of trying to shoot a security guard at a Safeway store in Northwest Portland a week prior. (Sounds like a *stable* dude, huh?)
Before we continue, raise your hand if you're shaking your head at the insanity that this obviously deranged man was (is) still on the streets. Also, raise your hand if you already know the answer. (Hint: radical left-wing "justice.")
Here more, via the outlet:
According to Portland police, the suspect allegedly approached security guards at the Safeway on Northwest Lovejoy Street at about 1 p.m. on Jan. 31, brandished a gun, and pulled the trigger. Police say the gun did not fire and a scuffle ensued.
Portland Police Sgt. Kevin Allen told KATU:
He left with the handgun but left the instrument case behind. So the officers found a shotgun inside the instrument case, and it was loaded with shells, shotgun shells, and on the shells were written messages that were threatening the president.
Game on.
After first searching for the man, but unable to find him, Portland police executed a warrant at an apartment complex in the 1600 block of Northwest 14th Avenue. After announcing themselves, police used explosives to breach the door and wall, then evacuated the 10th floor for safety. After the suspect didn't respond for roughly 30 minutes, officers deployed irritant gas, including OC vapor and CS gas, into the unit.
Then Things Got Worse
Allen told the outlet:
The suspect came out, there were shots fired, and the suspect is deceased at the scene. There is a handgun at the scene.
After paramedics confirmed the man was dead, Portland Police Chief Bob Day told the media:
"These events have a wide-ranging impact on our community, and we’re highly sensitive to that. I’m particularly grateful this morning that our officers are safe."
One — this one, anyway — wonders if Portland political figures are also "highly sensitive" to the reality we've too often seen: crazed Trump-haters incentivized by the dangerous rhetoric of TDS-riddled politicians; in this case, from the halls of Congress to Oregon state politicians to the lunatics in Portland.
As we've seen, the radical Left all but encourages unspeakable actions against not only the president of the United States, but also against other conservative influencers (see: Charlie Kirk).

“The organization is still feeling very fragile, Day said, adding that "the events of a couple of weeks ago, where a couple of our officers were shot, this is obviously a high intensity situation."
Day added that the incident and surrounding facts will be investigated transparently, and that the officers involved are on paid leave per standard protocol. The suspect’s name will be released once the medical examiner confirms the identity and the family is notified.
Not to nitpick, but while the investigation might very well be conducted "transparently," will the facts — assuming they exist — of what pushed this guy over the top also be "transparently" released?
Let's just say I have my doubts.
