The Omaha Man Who Shot a BLM Attacker in a Videotaped Open-and-Shut Case of Self-Defense Was Indicted to Appease the Mob.
That Man Has Now Committed Suicide.

BLM will attack you, and unless you allow yourself to be murdered or to have your head bashed in and left with brain damage, the agents of the state will then act as BLM's enforcement officers and imprison you for defying the illegal demands of BLM.

It's now legal to resist a police officer but it's illegal to resist a BLM rioter and street thug?

Had enough yet?

Jake Gardner -- awaiting arrest after a grand jury in Omaha indicted him last week -- shot himself outside a medical clinic in suburban Portland, Oregon, two law enforcement officials told The World-Herald. Police in Hillsboro, Oregon, found the 38-year-old former Marine dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound about 12:20 p.m.

Gardner's attorneys, Stu Dornan and Tom Monaghan, said Gardner shot himself on the day he had said he would surrender in connection with manslaughter and three other felony charges stemming from the May 30 confrontation that led to the death of 22-year-old James Scurlock.

Now, both men are dead. By the same hand.

Sunday, Dornan and Monaghan blamed Gardner's apparent suicide on a cocktail of behavioral health problems stemming from head trauma he experienced during military service; the belief that people were out to kill him; and an "incessant rush to judgment" by social media jockeys.

Monaghan alleged that after Gardner shot and killed Scurlock, people sent Gardner death threats on social media and by text to Gardner's personal cellphone, though Monaghan later acknowledged that he didn't think the threats were credible enough to report to law enforcement.

Dornan said Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine -- who defeated Dornan in 2006 to become county attorney -- had made the right call in ruling Gardner's actions justified. Gardner had claimed that Scurlock had him in a chokehold and wouldn't let go, despite Gardner's repeated pleas to "get off me." At the end of the 18-second struggle, Gardner switched the gun to his left hand and fired over his shoulder, killing Scurlock.

Grand jurors, under the guidance of a special prosecutor, ruled out self-defense as a justification.

Bottom line, Dornan and Monaghan said, Gardner had lost his bars (a landlord ended his lease after the shooting), his home, his livelihood. And he was about to lose his freedom. Add in behavioral health concerns, Dornan said, and suicide was not a surprise, even though his attorneys fully expected him to turn himself in Sunday night. Monaghan said Gardner did not leave a suicide note.

The special prosecutor must be sued for wrongful death.

I retract anything I said before about sovereign immunity. This prosecutor straight-up killed someone on behalf of his BLM allies.
