After Sean Kealiher was killed, his mother Laura was subjected to brutal harassment from conservative trolls at her home and online—and it was Sean’s antifascist friends who provided her security, not the Portland police. 

Meanwhile, we ask the former head of police detectives in Portland why there has been no progress in solving Sean’s homicide.

When Sean Kealiher and his friend Micah Fletcher began confronting racists in their community, neither one could have predicted the consequences. 

In 2017, Micah would nearly lose his life when he was attacked on a Portland train as he defended two teenage girls from a racist tirade. 

Now, he reflects on how he was lauded as a hero while his friend Sean was treated as a thug for doing the same things.

Oregon’s long history of racism was what brought Sean Kealiher and so many protesters like him to the streets. 

The fights between anti-racist skinheads and neo-Nazis in the 80s and 90s set the stage for Portland to found America’s first official Antifa chapter.  

And Laura Kealiher says the way police are intertwined with those past fights makes her skeptical they will ever solve Sean’s homicide.

Portland, Oregon, had been a hotbed for political clashes between the far left and the far right for years before 2020. 

Sean Kealiher was among the people who regularly took to the streets to fight — sometimes physically — with people who opposed Black Lives Matter and other social justice movements.
