Crazy People Are Dangerous

Shane Green, 58, lives in Portland, Oregon, which for the past eight weeks has been the scene of Antifa/#BlackLivesMatter riots. Do the radical protesters actually want to help black people? Or are they just a bunch of anarchist scum who hate cops? Shane Green needed help, and by “help” of course I mean, confinement in a psychiatric ward:

A man is facing a slew of charges after police say he attacked two people in a Portland laundromat with a handsaw — and it was caught on video.
On the afternoon of July 17, several 911 callers reported a man with a handsaw was assaulting people and breaking car windshields near the 2700 block of NE Weidler Street, the Portland Police Bureau said.
Two of the victims were inside a laundromat. Security video shows the suspect march straight up to a woman inside and swing the saw at her head.

 

Officers found the suspect near the 2100 block of NE Weidler Street. Police said they told him to stop and drop the saw but he refused and told officers he was going to make them shoot him.
The man walked into the middle of traffic, then started moving toward the officers while yelling at them while still holding the saw, police said. After several warnings, police used a less-lethal munition and the man dropped the saw. Officers started talking to him to try and calm him down but several bystanders interrupted by screaming and taunting the officers, the PPB said. This only made the suspect more upset, according to police.
Officers said they kept talking calmly and listening to the man and he was eventually taken safely into custody.
The suspect — 58-year-old Shane Vordelmicha Green — was charged with three counts of second-degree assault, six counts of unlawful use of a weapon, first-degree attempted assault, strangulation, four counts of menacing, two counts of second-degree attempted assault, harassment, second-degree disorderly conduct, interfering with a peace officer and four counts of reckless endangering. He was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center.

When we understand this as attempted suicide-by-cop, we see the connection between Shane Green’s violence and the violence of the lunatics engaged in “mostly peaceful” protests in Portland.

Antifa is not a political movement, it’s a mental-health crisis.

And, as you know, Crazy People Are Dangerous.
