Disabled Portland Antifa protester, 60, who was shot dead at BLM riot 'by far-right FURRY, 43,' who was then shot and critically-injured by left-wing activist

2022-02-23

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

June Knightly, 60, a disabled Antifa activist in Portland, was shot dead from a close-range gunshot wound on Saturday at a BLM protest

Benjamin Jeffrey Smith, 43, reportedly killed her after leaving his home across the street and walking up to her and shooting her

Knightly had been 'corking' - protecting protesters from dangerous situations

Smith has reportedly made anti-Semitic comments online and has often criticized the Black Lives Matter movement

He is also a member of the furry community who don cartoonish animal costumes

Naturally there is more to it, as explained by PJ Media:

Armed Portland Antifa Pick Fight With Violent Biker Gang Then Blame POLICE When Things Get Violent

Since when are biker gangs far right, as opposed to chaotic evil?

Gunfire erupted when ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
forces of Evil appear to have picked a fight with a notorious Portland

...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others...
, Ore. area biker gang.

Antifa lost.

At least one person ended up dead and five others were maimed in Portland Saturday night.

Portland Police are still sorting things out, but what we know is that police were called on Saturday night shortly after 8 p.m to a disturbance that quickly escalated into gunfire.

Portland Police said, "this incident started with a confrontation between an armed homeowner and armed protesters."

As Portland Police Public Information Officer Lt. Nathan Sheppard attempted to update the media on the shooting melee in Northeast Portland, two known Antifa forces of Evil took over the news conference, commandeered the microphones, and began blaming the police for failing to do their jobs to protect them.

According to Antifa protesters who took over the presser, identified by the Post Millennial as "Hailley Nolan and Dustin Ferreira," the previous night their comrades had gone to confront members of notorious Portland area biker gang the Gypsy Jokers.

One of the so-called 1% of motorcycle clubs openly steeped in criminality, the Gypsy Jokers were featured in Hunter Thompson’s book about the Hell’s Angels, which drove them out of San Francisco in the 1960s. Since relocating to Oregon in 1967, they’ve added 35 branches elsewhere in the US and in Germany, South Africa, Norway, and Australia, where they inspired targetted anti-bikie laws.

Police say at least one of the Antifa forces of Evil was armed (which they usually are).

Nolan, who appeared to have trouble breathing, said it was the Portland Police Bureau’s fault when a woman died in the shooting melee and five others were maimed.

"They are sending Gypsy Jokers to kidnap us," she breathlessly announced. She pointed to Lt. Sheppard and accused the police of encouraging the violence against Antifa, saying "they are sanctioning this violence against us. We are dying. We are trying to peacefully protest and they are killing us. And I want to know if any of you care. I want to know if Ted Wheeler
...Poindextrous lefty Dem mayor of Portland, Oregon. Allowed a year and a half of Antifa/BLM riots to destroy downtown sections of his city while playing catch and release with the perpetrators and hamstringing his police. He got reelected in the course of all that because the alternative was worse. He has yet to accomplish anything of substance, unless destroying a fairly pleasant city counts...
cares."

She indicated why they took over the news conference by admitting "we are not going to let them capture the narrative and lie," as she pointed to the police.

We can understand why. When you’re Antifa and you pick a fight with a biker gang, Antifa looks pretty dumb.

While the media watched, the Antifa goons chased the lieutenant back to his patrol car and attempted to surround it — their favorite trick.

I grew up in Portland. Ever since I was a kid I’d heard about the Gypsy Jokers. You. Don’t. Mess. With. The. Gypsy Jokers. Capice? The Portland Gypsy Jokers are reputedly among the most ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful, drug dealing, anti-social biker posses this side of the Hells Angels. They’re some bad dudes. Worse than Corn Pop.

Antifa and their BLM wingmen have done nothing but denigrate the Portland Police for the past two to three years, demanding they be defunded because "they are killing us," according to the white woman at the presser.

Let’s just step back for a second to observe the irony that Portland Antifa has been at the forefront of calling for defunding police. Portland’s police department has been decimated by the defunding after city commissioners and the mayor took these Antifa dunces’ word that there should be fewer cops. Forced vaccinations took another swath of cops off the job. Portland’s Antifa was part of Gov. Kate Brown’s mask and vaccine shock troop enforcement as well.

The ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful, childish Antifa came up against a notorious, ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful biker gang, which, unlike police, will fight back.

Antifa 0, Gypsy Jokers 1.

Here’s a look at the hijacked presser. LANGUAGE WARNING:

Benjamin Joseph Thornton was arrested and denied bail

Police charged 224 alleged offenders and shut down six clandestine laboratories

Former Bandito bikie Benjamin Joseph Thornton, 31, was arrested after police seized two mobile phones and a small quantity of cocaine. He was denied bail and will reappear in court next week.

The bust exposed new details about how one of Australia's most wanted fugitives gave police extensive access to the world's criminal underworld.

Drug kingpin and Comancheros bikie associate Hakan Ayik has spent the last decade on the run from Australian authorities after fleeing the country in 2010.

Now living in Turkey, he was tricked into distributing messages to his criminal associates around the world via encrypted communications app AN0M, unaware it was being run by FBI special agents.

Three years ago, Australia Federal Police identified Ayik as a key influencer to successfully distribute the encrypted AN0M devices due to his high status in the criminal underworld.

Then known as Joseph Hakan Ayik, the Sydney bikie associate and gym junkie fled Australia in 2010 to avoid arrest over a $230 million heroin importation.

Ayik, subbed one of the world's most prolific drug-smuggling masterminds, was later detained in Cyprus but then escaped and fled to Turkey, where he has created a new life.

He invested his proceeds of crime in hotel and resort developments while living a lavish lifestyle that extended to flashy cars and private yachts.

His Dutch wife, hair transplant business owner Fleur Messelink publicly flaunted the couple's elaborate lifestyle on Instagram until this week.

AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw said the alleged syndicate included 'some of the most dangerous criminals to Australia'.

'We allege they are members of outlaw motorcycle gangs, Australian Mafia, Asian crime syndicates and serious and organised crime groups,' he told reporters on Tuesday.

'We allege they've been trafficking illicit drugs into Australia at an industrial scale.

'Sadly, criminal gangs are targeting Australia because it is one of the most profitable countries in the world to sell drugs, and for three years, this operation has been overt.'

Mr Kershaw said detectives have arrested the alleged 'King makers' behind the alleged crimes, prevented mass shootings in suburbs and 'frustrated serious and organised crime by seizing their ill-gotten wealth'.

'And these figures are likely to increase over the coming days. Collectively, these alleged offenders are facing jail terms that could run into hundreds of years and some of the charges they are facing carry life imprisonment,' he said.

New Zealand Police Arrest 2 British Men in Huge Meth Bust

2019-08-10

In Australia they’ve been finding large amounts of drugs smuggled in by the so-called bikie gangs — Moslem colonists who include drugs among their other methods of financing jihad. Could this be related on the next island over?

[AnNahar] New Zealand police said Friday they had arrested two British men after finding a huge stash of methamphetamine in an Auckland apartment that would have been worth tens of millions of dollars if sold on the street.

Police said they've been targeting a foreign criminal organization working in New Zealand as part of what they're calling Operation Essex. They say the bust was one of the largest of its type in New Zealand.

Police said they searched the apartment last week and found plastic storage containers inside cardboard packing boxes that were filled with more than 200 kilograms (441 pounds) of meth with a street value of 144 million New Zealand dollars ($93 million).

In part due to New Zealand's isolated location, drugs like methamphetamine tend to bring a higher price here than in many other parts of the world.

Detective Inspector Paul Newman told news hounds they arrested a 60-year-old man at the apartment and a 49-year-old man at Auckland Airport. Both men remain in jail and have been charged with possessing methamphetamine with intent to supply.

"We're making inquiries with police liaison officers overseas and hopefully tapping into our law enforcement partners overseas to try and work out the threat that this syndicate poses to New Zealand," Newman said.

And in an unrelated drug find, police said Friday they believe that packages of cocaine that washed up on an Auckland beach this week likely drifted for a year and over hundreds of kilometers (miles) across the Tasman Sea from Australia.

Detective Inspector Colin Parmenter said that in August 2018, Australian authorities intercepted an inflatable boat off the northern coast of New South Wales. He said two people who were arrested at the time were seen dumping packages of cocaine into the ocean.

Parmenter said most of the cocaine had since been recovered. He said that the drugs that washed up in New Zealand matched the markings and packaging of the Australian drugs. The cocaine found on the beach had a street value of about NZ$3 million, he said.

Australia meth bust: shipment of speakers used to hide largest onshore seizure

2019-06-07

[CNN] Australian authorities made the country's largest onshore methamphetamine seizure when police found 1.6 tons of drugs hidden in a shipment of stereo speakers from Thailand, the federal agency announced on Friday.

Australian Border Force (ABF) officials discovered the drugs when crews X-rayed the packaged boxes of speakers and anomalies were detected. A total of nearly 1.6 tons of meth, which officials said is equal to almost 16 million drug deals, was recovered from the cargo shipment at the Melbourne Container Examination Facility.

The speakers were packaged and sealed in a cargo shipment.

"This is the largest meth bust we've ever seen in this country, and demonstrates not only the brazen nature of those involved in this criminal activity, but the resolve of the ABF in Victoria and around the country to stop these imports," Craig Palmer, ABF Regional Commander Victoria, said in the statement.

Authorities said the record drug bust had an estimated street value of $1.2 billion Australian dollars, which is equivalent to $837 million US dollars. Along with meth, 37 kilograms of heroin was also found stashed in vacuumed-sealed packages inside the speakers.

"Last financial year the ABF made 43,000 detections of illicit drugs weighing more than 11.8 tons -- so this seizure is equal to more than 13% of the total drugs we seized last financial year," said Palmer.

At this time no arrests have been made as the investigation continues.

In January, US authorities confiscated almost a billion dollars' worth of methamphetamine bound for Australia, in the largest-ever seizure of the drug on American soil, Australian police announced after a joint operation. In that seizure, the drugs were found hidden inside electronic equipment.

We had a report of that January bust. On the Australian side, the recipients are the so-called bikie gangs — Middle Eastern lads, primarily Lebanese. There are Sunni bikie gangs, Shiite bikie gangs, and even one called Soldiers of Islam. Along with the usual, they’re fond of stolen rocket launchers and molesting women on Australian beaches. The January article showed new linkages between Australia’s narco-jihadis and the Hispano-American drug routes that have been connected to Hizbollah and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp. One wonders what connections are revealed by the Thai sourcing.

US and Australian authorities intercept 1.7 tons of methamphetamine bound for Australia from Los Angeles/Long Beach Seaport

2019-02-09

[ICE Newsroom] LOS ANGELES ‐ A joint collaborative effort between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and members of HSI’s Border Enforcement Security Task Force (BEST), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of Field Operations, and Australian federal authorities resulted in the seizure of a mixed narcotic load of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin weighing in a more than 1.7 tons and artfully concealed within a shipment of loud speakers and destined for Australia.

As a result of the investigation, Australian Federal Police (AFP) yesterday arrested two U.S. citizens and four Australian citizens allegedly involved with the U.S.-based transnational crime syndicate suspected of conducting the record-making shipment.

The drugs, which consisted of three containers targeted for inspection, were seized at the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport by officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on January 11 ‐ intercepting the shipment before it could reach Australian shores.

There’s no question that the criminal organization behind this scheme has been dealt a significant blow, said Joseph Macias, Special Agent-In-Charge for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Los Angeles. "Along with our law enforcement partners here and around the world, we continue in a day-to-day battle against the blight of methamphetamine that continues to devastate our communities. Through a collaborative effort ‐ pooling our information, resources and expertise ‐ we are keeping this dangerous contraband from reaching our streets and potentially saving lives."

"This is an extraordinary example of the superb and effective collaboration between CBP, HSI, DHS and Australian law enforcement partners in targeting an international high-scale narcotics operation, and the unity of effort in protecting our communities from the irreversible harm of harsh drugs like methamphetamine," said Carlos C. Martel, CBP Director of Field Operations in Los Angeles.

The investigation began when the Australian agents assigned to the Joint Organized Crime Task Force (JOCTF) alerted Homeland Security Investigations special agents about a planned large-scale drug importation by a suspected drug smuggling group operating out of California.

An Nahar adds:

The bust revealed new ties between Mexican cartels and Aussie biker gangs.

The investigation appeared to reveal cooperation between Mexican cartels and Australian biker gangs, developing what authorities say is a worrying new vector for drugs to arrive to Australia.

"This is a serious warning, we now believe the Mexican cartels are actively targeting Australia," said Assistant Commissioner Bruce Hill of the Australian Federal Police.

"They have been sending smaller amounts over the years, this is now flagging their intent. Australia is now being targeted," he said.

"The cartel is one of the most powerful and violent drug trafficking syndicates in the world," he said, without naming the cartel involved.

Hill pointed to high Australian street prices and prevalent drug use as a "drawcard" for organised crime.

Colombian and Mexican cartels have long looked to local partners to open new markets for their produce and shift legal risk.

Australian police indicated that the country's biker gangs, with deep involvement in organised crime, were willing interlocutors.

The Ozzie slang term is bikie gangs. A search of the term in the Rantburg archives yields the information that almost all the motorcycle gangs in Australia are now Middle Eastern, primarily Lebanese: there are Sunni bikie gangs, Shiite bikie gangs, and even one called Soldiers of Islam, which is certainly suggestive. Along with the usual, they’re fond of stolen rocket launchers and molesting women on Australian beaches.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton orders deportation of Sydney bikie boss Sam Ibrahim

2015-09-05

[ABC.NET.AU] Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has signed papers ordering the deportation of Sydney bikie boss Sam Ibrahim.

Ibrahim is in jail, charged with running an illegal firearms syndicate.

He was born in Leb and came to Australia as a child.

The ABC understands Mr Dutton is revoking Ibrahim's residency visa on the grounds he has failed the Government's character test for foreign nationals.

Oooooooohhhh. That was absolutely delicious. Someone is to be congratulated, especially if that is official verbiage.

Ibrahim has 28 days to appeal against the decision.

Mr Dutton's office said it could not comment on individuals or individual cases but issued a statement saying: "Protecting the Australian community is the number one priority of this Government.

"We won't tolerate people coming to our country and thinking they can commit serious crime and remain here.

"If they're here on a visa and involved in criminal activity, we will act to remove them and eliminate the threat they pose to that community."

In June Mr Dutton said 415 criminals had had their visas cancelled this year after not meeting the character requirements.

He said of the group 57 had been "removed from Australia".

Four bikies arrested in pub brawl

2013-09-20

Four bikies, thought to be from the new gang Soldiers of Islam, have been arrested after a wild brawl at the Mermaid Tavern this afternoon. Police confirmed four men are in custody after they were called to the tavern following reports three men were assaulting each other.

Soldiers of Islam, also known as Sons of Islam, is thought to be an offshoot of outlaw bikie gang the Bandidos, which has a clubhouse at Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast. Sources report the gang, comprising young Muslim men who sport "SOI'' tattoos, has sprung up on the Glitter Strip in recent years.

While still small in membership, the gang is coming under increasing attention from police looking into bikie links to crimes involving drugs, guns and violence.

Sunni-Shiite biker wars in Australia

2009-02-16

The ultimate "Cycles of Violence"...

AN ANCIENT religious enmity is at the centre of a new conflict in the Sydney bikie scene, with a new gang comprised mainly of Sunni Muslims warring with a group of bikies with a Shiite Muslim background.

While detectives continue to investigate the February 4 bombing of a Hells Angels clubhouse in Crystal Street, Petersham, police and other sources are indicating that the city chapter of the Comanchero is involved in an escalating feud with a new club, Notorious.

The president of Notorious is a Lebanese-Australian with a long-standing association with a bikie from a colourful Sydney Sunni Lebanese family. The two are among Sydney's original "Nike" bikies - sporting white sneakers, fashionable T-shirts and clean-shaven instead of the traditional boots, dirty vests and bushy beards - and both are from Sunni families from Sydney's west.

Notorious is considered by gang squad detectives to be the prime suspect in the Crystal Street bombing. One of its mottos is "Only the dead see the end of war" and its "colours", or coat of arms, is a turbaned skeleton holding twin pistols with "Original Gangster" beneath it. Today is the first time the club's colours have been revealed publicly.

On the other side of the conflict is the president of the Comanchero City Crew, a Beirut-born Shiite who grew up in the St George area. Comanchero has been one of the motorcycle gangs that have embraced the new breed of "Nike" bikie, and have been recruiting from the Lebanese and Islander communities for several years.

Traditionally, Lebanese Muslim migrants to Sydney have been geographically and religiously divided. The Sunni majority live in Sydney's west and south-west, mainly around Auburn and Bankstown, while the Shiite minority live in the St George area. "The two groups have no love lost between them," a senior police source told the Herald. They have been fighting since the Sunni bikie, one of Sydney's most well-known gangsters, became president of the Nomads Parramatta chapter in the late 1990s.

In 2006, he was jailed over a Newcastle shooting. The following year, the Parramatta chapter's Granville headquarters was bombed, allegedly by the Comanchero, and the chapter subsequently disbanded. A few of its members formed Notorious, probably at the request of the Sunni bikie.

"[The Sunni bikie] left the Nomads while he was on remand," said an investigator who has watched the two groups for years. "He was telling people he was planning to start up his own club. Around about the same time, Notorious appeared."

Unlike the Sunni bikie and the Notorious president, the Comanchero City Crew president was born in Beirut and grew up in Sydney's southern suburbs. He appeared on television in 2005 following the Cronulla riot and Maroubra reprisal violence, when he met members of the Bra Boys to calm tensions.

When the Herald asked the president of the Hells Angels city chapter about the bombing, he was succinct: "I've got nothing to say, thank you."

But bikie sources said the Angels believe Notorious may be responsible for the attack, which closed down Crystal Street for a day and damaged seven neighbouring businesses. Neither police nor the Hells Angels have established why Notorious may have attacked the club, though the senior police source offered a simple answer: "They're just bloody crazy."

In the latest violence, a Comanchero member was shot in the leg when he was confronted by five Hells Angels at a park in Silverwater on February 7.

Aussie bikers foil robbery

2008-02-28

h/t Tim Blair
Machete wielding masked bandits picked the wrong club to rob yesterday - 50 bikie club members were meeting there.

Police said the robbers raided the Regents Park Sporting Club about 8.50pm yesterday, ordering people at the bar to lie on the floor. But the robbers failed to notice 50 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club enjoying a drink in the nearby auditorium. "Fifty of us jumped out of our seats and raced out to the main bar," said club president Jerry "Jester" van Cornewal.

On seeing the bikers approaching, the robbers fled. One sprinted past patrons playing poker machines towards the back of the club when he came to closed glass door. He charged through the glass, leapt off a five-metre balcony and ran through a bowling green.

The other escaped through an exit behind the bar. But Jester ran to the back of the club, waiting for the robber to emerge from the back roller door. "He came out the door wielding what I thought was a tyre lever, but was actually a samurai sword. I raced in and tackled him to the ground, footy-style, onto the concrete," Jester said.

The man wriggled free, but was pursued by Jester and two other club members named "Bulldog" and Brad, and was crash-tackled again. The trio hogtied the man and waited for police to arrive. Police soon also located the second robber nearby.

Bikie gang linked with rocket 'plot'

2007-01-09

POLICE investigating an alleged terrorist plot using stolen Australian army rocket launchers are close to arresting more suspects, including a member of Australia's biggest outlaw motorcycle gang.

Toecutter lives!

The Rebels bikie from Sydney's southwest is one of several people suspected of playing a part in a stolen weapons trail leading to alleged Sydney arms dealer Taha Abdulrahman and his clients - one of whom is a terror suspect. It is believed that police are close to making a number of further arrests in connection with the illegal sale of the anti-tank weapons which police allege were intended to be used to attack targets including the American Express headquarters in Sydney.

Mr Abdulrahman, 28, was arrested and charged on Friday with 17 offences, including unauthorised possession of a prohibited weapon and unauthorised supply of a prohibited weapon. The charges relate to five shoulder-mounted, anti-tank rocket launchers among seven allegedly stolen from the army. Police have recovered one of the launchers after cutting a deal with Sydney underworld figure Adnan Darwiche, who is serving a double life sentence for murder.

"Give em up, Adnan, and we'll cut one lifetime off your sentance"

It has been revealed that the Darwiche family, which was caught up in a string of shootings in western Sydney stemming from a feud with the rival Razzak family, had access to some of the rocket launchers. Five of the stolen rocket launchers are believed to have been sold to a Sydney man who is now facing terrorism charges. Community sources have said that a member of one Middle Eastern crime family has privately boasted of possession of at least one rocket launcher.

No doubt a holy relic handed down from his granpa

Police said last week that Mr Abdulrahman had no immediate connections to the Australian Defence Force and that no ADF members were said to be under investigation at this point.

But the focus of the police investigation is now on how the weapons were moved from the army to the Rebels, Mr Abdulrahman and then into the hands of a potential terrorist cell.

But NSW Police Assistant Commissioner for Counter Terrorism Nick Kaldas said the arrest last week of Mr Abdulrahman was "one phase of the operation". "It is by no means the end of the investigation. A number of significant lines of inquiry are being actively pursued and that effort will be sustained until the matter is resolved," Mr Kaldas said.

Mr Abdulrahman is accused of knowing several of the 23 terror suspects arrested in Sydney and Melbourne in late 2005 during the nation's biggest counter-terrorism sweep, known as Operation Pendennis. But how he may be allegedly linked to the Rebels bikie gang is still being investigated.

In recent years there has been a rise in the number of Middle Eastern Australians joining motorcycle gangs but experts say they have been mainly swelling the ranks of rival clubs, such as the Nomads.

And here we thought all those jokes about this war loking like scenes from "Mad Max" were just jokes...

Former federal agent turned academic Michael Kennedy said the links between the Rebels and the Middle Eastern community in southwest Sydney were likely to be more entrepreneurial. Dr Kennedy said the Rebels members would know "someone" who would know someone else who could move the weapons on the black market.

Biker gangs seem to be the same worldwide

Last week police said they would allege one of the 66mm portable rocket launchers was destined to be fired at a Sydney target. Australia's only nuclear reactor and the Australian headquarters of AmEx in Sydney were touted as among the likely targets for Mr Adbulrahman's alleged terrorist clients.

Or on each other. The biker gangs in Scandinavia use RPGs on each other all the time

The country's intelligence and spy agencies are conducting a nationwide audit of the defence forces' weapons and munitions stocks.
