(So I apologize in advance for not knowing about this earlier, but this deserves some attention.)
Michael Strickland is the man behind the YouTube channel LaughingAtLiberals which exposed a lot of the progressive looniness going on in the PDX area. I've posted some of this videos here before. We're like ground-zero for Canada-style SJW cult bullshit which threatens to engulf the entire country.
Michael is a CHL holder and felt threatened at one of these BLM "protest" events (basically a mob of Commies using violence) and pulled his gun for 7 seconds while putting his hand out and backing up. Now, while many, many progressives who have committed assault and battery, called in bomb threats, incited violence, chased media away, thrown bombs etc. (and have been ID'd) walk free, Michael has been railroaded by an anti-gun judge:
“If I could I would take all the guns in America, put them on big barges and go dump them in the ocean. Nobody would have a gun. Not police, not security, not anybody. We should eliminate all of them.” -Judge Kenneth Walker
One of the BLM assholes also called him a racist (without a scintilla of evidence) which upgraded his charges to menacing and so on. He's now facing 60 years in prison for standing up to these Communists. A video proving his innocence was suppressed until the last day of the trial, after which the criminal Judge pronounced him guilty.
Video is long but a good recap of all the bullshit going on in Portland including specific facts concerning the case.

A good point to remember, guys: if you're going to get railroaded into a near-life sentence, anyway, you might as well start shooting.
He's just a youtuber, not Rambo
Too bad.
Agreed, but think of this: pulls gun, actually fires. Since these are BLM, they'll probably start swarming. So he'll have to gun them all down. At the end of the day, he will have genocided a mass of them. Even if his life was in danger, people will say "oh the horrors, I doubt he had to kill this many". Although, it would at least make his jail sentence more "worth it".
tl;dr damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Hopefully he'll appeal this decision. But yeah, if you're in an insane liberal state like Oregon or California, you might as well just shoot. Because according to the legal system, if you draw your weapon without using it, then you weren't in enough danger to have drawn it in the first place, thus you're just threatening people with it.
This would be one of the times our reddit allies by necessity would be useful. If it could be signal boosted enough how bullshit it is that someone who was threatened by commies and defended himself in a manner which amounted to nonviolence and yet commies throwing modified m80's.. literal ied's.. walk free after being positively identified.
We need to force Trumps hand to either issue a pardon or intervene otherwise.
That being said.. I really hate sticking up for this guy. Something about him screams plant. But even if he is a plant we need to cry havok every time someone even appearing to be in agreeance with us gets locked up on absolute bullshit charges.
Oh please, they would run home to their mothers' basements
I wouldn't underestimate feral blacks drunk on the feeling of security of being in a mob.
Oregon and California are different animals.
In Oregon it's a very small number of nuisance Commies creating noise (useful idiots) and a bunch of politicians and activist judges making power grabs for an ever greater socialist state.
Oregon still had fairly decent gun laws (although definitely not as good as they used to be). The politicians want to ban guns outright.
