Vice News Interviews Army Veteran and BLM ‘Security’ Team Member Who Claims Self-Defense in Killing of Right-Wing Demonstrator in Portland: ‘I Had No Choice’

By News Here - 20:08


Vice News will air an interview with Michael Forest Reinoehl, a self-identified “security” member for Black Lives Matter, who admitted to shooting and killing a right-wing demonstrator this past weekend.

According to a preview of the Vice News interview posted online, Reinoehl claims he shot Aaron “Jay” Danielson, a member of the “Patriot Prayer” right-wing group, this past Saturday in Portland out of self-defense. Reinoehl has not been arrested or charged with a crime, and Portland Police have not publicly identified him as a target of their investigation.

The 48-year-old Reinoehl, an Army veteran, was interviewed by freelance journalist, Donovan Farley in an unknown outdoor location.

“I had no choice. I mean, I, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn’t going to do that,” Reinoehl said of the violent encounter in the preview clip. He then acknowledges the highly unorthodox nature of his giving interviews while walking around free after having confessing to shooting and killing another man.

“You know, lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn’t even be saying anything,” he said. “But I feel it’s important that the world at least gets a little bit of what’s really going on.”

Watch the full interview on Vice News Tonight on Thursday night, September 3rd, at 11:00 p.m.
