1. Nobody should be surprised when, in the event of mysterious or unusual violence or death, every person with an axe to grind gets his axe ground a little bit by the inquiring cops. Especially unsurprised should be the people who have publicly exclaimed glee or a pre-event desire to see ill befall someone, and all the people who have seen that posted.
   If the investigation leads to a foot that fits the slipper, the grinding will redouble many times over.
   The OSP knows its stuff. I would NOT want them after me. The OSP, too, didn’t fail to already have this information at hand or to act upon it when it came to their attention.
   Well done OSP. I wish them the best in their endeavors.

   1. Let’s hope they get to the bottom of it and investigate Antifa.

2. OSP? I don’t trust them as long as Kate Brown reigns.

   If this wasn’t an accident, then the FBI needs to finally start treating Antifa as an actual terrorist organization.

   1. I should think so. Stay tuned for more on this angle.

   2. After all, OSP is responsible for the out right murder of Levoy Finicum. How much can they be trusted with an investigation?

   3. No one in govt thinks they are a threat? Whos world they living in?

3. I hope they take it seriously.

4. Anyone to the right of, say, Maduro is deemed a “Nazi”. Ironically, Asstifa was founded and funded by self-admitted Nazi collaborator George Soros. After reading the Tweets and seeing the signs they post (seek out and destroy “fascists” ad nauseum) it’s not a stretch to believe they might be behind Stratton’s death. Hopefully there will be a thourough investigation.

   1. I hope there is a thorough investigation.

5. Wouldn’t be one bit surprised, from what I’ve seen of this machine first hand. But chances are it goes past even Kate Brown’s superiors, so while the prospect of an honest investigation spark a glimmer of hope, like Pops always says; “Hope in one hand and shit in the other… See which fills up first.”

6. I don’t think this was anything other than an accident. I drove by it in the morning and saw what looked to be a fell asleep at the wheel situation. While I support the right it did not appear to me that this was anything other than an accident self induced unfortunately. It will be interesting to see what comes of this investigation.

   1. Well, it may be. As you may have read in the post, the OSP says “there’s no sign of foul play at this point.”It may have been an accident. In the interest of reducing the possibility of persistent conspiracy theories over time, it’s best that we should make sure that this terrorist group has not elevated its hatred and violence to snuffing out a life. Surely, we can agree that OSP should investigate in the interest of transparency.

      1. You people are fucking morons..

         [The editor has removed Antifa fever dreams about Stratton’s alleged “racism”]

         I’m not ANTIFA so don’t get your conservative panties all twisted up, but you wanna hang around with Nazis and pal around with them on Facebook, don’t be surprised if you get called a Nazi too. You spend all day online calling anyone left of fucking Pinochet “a libtard cuck” and then bitch and cry when reality comes at you in public. Keep threatening people over the internet, and then playing the victim when they take your MAGA hat and kick your teeth in. “Little Beirut” hahahaha what a fucking joke. Maybe if you live in fucking Mayberry and the big ol city scares little country mouse. Don’t like Portland? STAY THE FUCK OUT.

         1. 1. I’ve never called anyone a “libtard cuck.”
            2. It was Maduro and not Pinochet and, no, I didn’t say that, though I agree with the sentiment.
            3. Nobody’s “bitch[ing] and cry[ing].”
            4. The “reality” to which you refer left a man dead.
            5. I don’t have a MAGA hat. Maybe I’ll finally buy one. “Kick[ing] your teeth in” and similar activities is the reason why OSP takes seriously the possibility that your buddies could have killed Stratton.
            6. “STAY THE FUCK OUT” of Portland is a non starter for family which has spent generations here. I’ve got a great idea, you leave so my website or someone’s MAGA hat doesn’t trigger you. I’m sure there’s a safe space or rubber room for you work through your anger issues.
            7. Just because someone’s a conservative doesn’t make them a Nazi, but you knew that and you continue your violent activities.
            8. You are Antifa, so you lied.

         2. While I don’t care a “Fuck” as you so profoundly imply about you or your wannabe badasses. I personally don’t care if you and your comrades burn Portland to the ground. What I do care about however is you and yours constant incessant babble. You remind me of my children when they don’t get their way. You have absolutely no grasp of history and as such are doomed to have it kick you where your balls should be. I would do something about you but I just don’t have the time to devote. I am so busy these days but please feel free to stop by and take the room temperature challenge.

            1. This is how it’s done.

         3. This comment is for Fuck you Taft. First of all fuck you asswipe. You are a piece of shit who I would promply mop the floor with and Pinochet would have thrown your sorry ass out of a chopper and with good reason I might add. People can hang around whoever the hell they want. It’s called free association. Or at least it used to be. However, murdering someone for their beliefs is illegal jackwad and Leo was involved in documenting Antifuck look silly on video for the world to see. But we’re morons lol. Go straight back to Hell where you came from. Proud Boys have members of ALL RACES in their ranks you puny white guilt ridden louse. Grow a pair so I can kick you right in em sometime in the future. Oh and sorry for this one Victoria, you are truly great, but Portland sucks!!!!!

   2. How do you know he fell asleep?! Are you an accident expert? Maybe it was a medical issue that caused him to wreck. Maybe something else caused him to run off the road. YOU DONT KNOW. He was a professional driver for over 25 years and a very safe one. Just because you drive by an accident scene and saw a wreck does not deem it a “fell asleep at the wheel situation”.

   3. Semi trucks do not just burst into flames. Desiel fuel does not behave that way. It does not look as if he was carrying hazmat.

   4. He had been up for a little over an hour before he started driving.

7. So your story is that the cops say that it looks like an accident/operator error? Neat.

   1. So far after a cursory investigation it doesn’t look like sabotage, but the investigation is early and they share concern that more investigation is needed considering the nature of Antifa. That’s why they’re investigating it.

   2. The story doesn’t say that.

8. It sounds pretty likely, though, that this was still an accidental crash – at least the police are investigating. Wild speculation seems irresponsible.

   1. I thought wild speculation was not helpful either, that’s why I followed up with police.

   2. I’m glad you have total omniscience into what the investigation will ultimately turn out to be. I need some stock market tips too.

9. He was a great guy and his contributions to the first Amendment and showing people what really goes on will be missed greatly. I put nothing past Antifa, but I don’t think they could sabotage a rig or own a car big enough to ram something that size. Maybe a break check in front of him, but even then he would have recovered and hit the brakes. My friends and family are truckers too and it always hurts a bit more when we lose one of our own.

10. Antifa and their like minded groups need to be labeled a domestic terrorist organization and be investigated and charged with sedition, espionage and marched to justice ASAP

    1. I think that’s a possibility. Keep watching this space for more information on that.

11. Decided not to explain how, but any semi could be induced to ignite. If you’re driving, good luck getting out. Under normal circumstances a crashed semi seldom bursts into flames.

12. Antifa needs to be abolished and quickly, they are sounding more like US terriorists, gleefully cheering anyone’s death is reprehensible. I thought the left were supposed to be peace loving people! They have sure been showing their ugly side since Trump was voted in. Come on guys grow up!!!

    1. 1. They *ARE* terrorists
       2. They think anyone slightly to the right of anarchists are “Nazis.”
       3. Cheering someone’s death is typical of their behavior.
       4. They’ve been showing their “ugly” side for years.
       5. They won’t grow up because that would mean they’d have to get a job beyond that of a bike messenger.
       6. Their history has been so violent that police will investigate if they had anything to do with murder.
       7. I have no idea how you “abolish” a group like this, but I believe when more people recoil at their fascistic, stasi-like tactics they’ll go out of fashion.
       8. They’re so convinced they’re on the side of right that they’ll stomp out anyone else’s viewpoint – or literally that person.
       9. They can’t stand reportage outing them.
       10. They can’t handle being mocked.

13. Antifa needs to be abolished and quickly, they are sounding more like US terriorists, gleefully cheering anyone’s death is reprehensible. I thought the left were supposed to be peace loving people! They have sure been showing their ugly side since Trump was voted in. Come on guys grow up!!!

14. Antifa can’t go head to head with real Patriots…they are oxymoronic in that their name is directly in conflict with their actions …I guess it’s going to come down to us having to kick antifas ass real good!

15. I am completely disgusted by the hatred spewed by these mindless, spineless, hate mongering trolls regarding his death. Many of us have been friends with him for over 35 years and know the kind, god-fearing, wonderful man who leaves a Heart-broken wife whom he just celebrated 20 years of marriage with. We are devastated and have a huge hole in our lives. He was a true patriot. I pray he didn’t pay for it with his life.

16. This would be unprecedented as they’ve never shown the capacity for it, even after an antifa leader was gunned down in the 00’s and put in a wheelchair. He was ambushed outside a bar in Portland by a skinhead who was never captured. I can’t think of a single incident where anarchists have murdered someone in the USA in a long, long time.

    1. That’s some interesting historical revisionism. Antifa didn’t exist in Portland in the early 00’s. I remember the skinheads were doing their thing in the 90’s.

       1. It wont take long to kick these soft pussies ass they’ve never worked a day in their life only have courage in gangs their playin with fire come on pantifa I’ll oblige you!

17. Dear Antifa,

    Pro Tip: Your phony emails pretending you’re conservatives aren’t working.

18. Actually they have been labeled domestic terrorists…thank goodness.
