Independent journalist and activist based out of Portland, John the Lefty, joins DOOMED with Matt Binder to discuss the far right shooting in Portland at a justice for Amir Locke march that left one activist dead and many more injured. John breaks down what happened at the protest, how the shooter Ben Smith was identified by activists before Portland PD, how the furry community helped out the far right shooter and his anti-left, pro-fascist online history, how right wing provocateur Andy Ngo riled up his followers of which the shooter was one, how the police and media spread a bizarre narrative that the shooter was a "homeowner," and much more! Then on the patron half of the show: a caller from Tennessee discusses the difficulties of being a progressive in a red state, plus more calls, questions, comments and more!
