Strickland is an MRA (and thus white supremacist) with a long history of harassing women of color, trans people, and some pretty wacky conspiracy theories about "Jews" which are completely ignorant of the history of Jewish folks in Portland.

In short, he's a waste of space who's going to act out sooner or later. Aiming and menacing with a loaded weapon? Not okay. 

I will say this: Jesse Sponberg and the PPB alike, two entities I'd never thought I'd find myself praising in one sentence, handled this like champs and prevented potential violence.  I do not know the other brave souls who participated in de-escalating this white supremacist, er, I mean "white nationalist" (hint: means the same thing in reality) but kudos to them, too. Strickland is gonna at least do a bid over this, so let's focus on the positive: the good folks of Portland worked together to take a malicious MRA off the streets for some time.
