You keep attributing "alt-right racism" and "white supremacy" (which exists, but to a numerically very small group) to Trump's entire base. Not so. But keep it up, you'll just get more people ticked off and willing to vote for Trump. Just for the record, that "cache of guns" was 3 unloaded rifles, one disassembled, which belonged to people with concealed carry permits. "The men told police they planned to stay at the garage and "act as a quick extraction team'' in case someone from their group was injured during the demonstration." Sounds like a self-defense plan to me. Cache of guns? Police clarify 3 rifles in cases found atop downtown garage before protest Updated Oct 16; Posted Oct 16 By Maxine Bernstein mbernstein@oregonian.com The Oregonian/OregonLive A day after Mayor Ted Wheeler called out right-wing group Patriot Prayer for bringing a cache of guns to a downtown rooftop before a summer protest, the mayor and police clarified significant details about the discovery and response. Police said they found four people on top of a parking garage at Southwest First Avenue and Jefferson Street on Aug. 4 with three rifles, all in cases. The men let a sergeant inspect the rifles. None of the rifles was loaded. One was disassembled. All the men had concealed weapons permits, according to police. The men told police they planned to stay at the garage and "act as a quick extraction team'' in case someone from their group was injured during the demonstration. A sergeant instructed the men to store the rifles in a locked container in the back of one of their pickups and place any ammunition in a different part of the truck, and they complied. Police made no arrests. No laws were broken and there was no imminent danger to the public, police said Tuesday. The follow-up details contrast with a "cache of guns'' positioned on a garage rooftop that the mayor, who serves as police commissioner, referenced in a Monday news conference. Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson of Vancouver, who had publicly encouraged supporters to bring firearms to the rally, called Wheeler a liar by suggesting his group had posted snipers looking down over the demonstration site.
