"It was organized and it was strategic" says John Barnett Slaughter of the plan to confront and forcibly remove me from the protest on July 7th, 2016, where I was peacefully filming until a gang of masked thugs, led by Benjamin Kerensa, attacked me, which eventually prompted me draw my Glock in self defense while I was retreating and the mob continued to pursue me. Slaughter's admission of being one of the conspirators and orchestrators of the attack on me is perhaps the only thing he said that was true. Listen in as we hear him tell Portland police detective Nathan Wollstein that I had been pulling my gun out and "click clacking" it multiple times to load and reload it during the protest, which is a lie. Then John B. Slaughter says people couldn't see my gun because I was concealed carrying. Then he says he doesn't know for sure because he didn't actually see anything. He repeats this on the witness stand in court in front of Judge Thomas Ryan, at first telling my attorney that I was open carrying and that anyone standing near me could have seen my gun, which is not true, but then later says I was concealed carrying, but finally admits he is relying on third hand hearsay because he didn't actually witness it.
