A mentally ill homeless man was shot and killed by police just outside the security perimeter of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

In a scenario eerily similar to a police shooting in Juneau on Monday, the man, reported to be known by the neighborhood, was wielding two knives, swinging them at officers, when a police officer from Columbus, Ohio took him down.

On Monday in Juneau, a well-known vagrant who lived in doorways downtown lunged at police with a knife and was shot and killed.

  4. It really is unbelievable that the left is so bloody stupid! They just keep stepping in it. I’m proud to be among all you Patriots on MRAK. We are witnessing history right now. We are a part of the changing tides. TRUMP/Vance 2024🇺🇸

    • How’s that?
      His idiot surrogate has been running Alaska for several years now and look at the shape we’re in.

      Oh, no wonder my brilliant posts don’t go through?!

      You have to be a patriot

      • Well DD if your commentary above is any indication of your “brilliance”, you should not be surprised.
        Being a patriot is not the purview of political parties, but how you see yourself in relation to the founding principles of freedom, liberty, small government and loyalty to the country. J Kirk is correct we are witnessing history.
        Your comment would indicate that you see yourself as NOT being a patriot! Why is that?
        Calling people names never advances the dialogue. So whose that surrogate and what shape are we “in” in your opinion and do you have examples to back it up or better yet make improvements?

      • Dr Dolittle, Apparently no one needs to ponder whether your posts are brilliant or not. They merely need to ask you if they are. However, its obvious they don’t need to ask about your ego.

      • How is Governor D responsible for the sh*tshow that is 50% of Alaska..aka Anchorage? This city has been a polar opposite of what Gov D has done or wanted. Gov D’s collaborator Mayor B got NOWHERE with the liberal assembly. Thank you to Chris C or Meg “line my own pockets” Z, we have weaponized and monetized homelessness into a Mega-Millions Jackpot for the libtard left. We now have polluted trails and parks, a wrecked downtown, out of control spending and crime wave in what should be revenue producing areas of town. I have stopped coming into ANC unless it’s critically necessary!!!!

        We need less libtard BS and more “Beer for my Horses”. It’s the wild west on the streets of Anchorage WITHOUT the guys in white hats.

        APD cannot hire enough officers…why because if they shoot someone, they are on trial before the blood on the sidewalk is dry. Keep beating the police up and see who takes the job. The HOMELESS in Anchorage (and Alaska) are treated better then are most precious resource…Our LEOs.

  7. I have a problem with police shooting and killing homeless people………how about tear gas or something non-lethal?

    • The last person you ever want to fight is a crazy person. Their attack is not as measured as a sane person.
      People on drugs or alcohol are in that category. Anyone charging a cop with a lethal weapon is definitionally in that category. In that scenario, time is of the essence. The cops must play it safe.

  9. Dr Dolittle,
    Hope this doesn’t offend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙄

  10. Oh, the irony! A homeless man swinging a couple of knifes is dropped by a police officer as a perceived threat, but a man carrying a rifle climbs up a ladder to the roof of a building overlooking a Trump rally and a police officer takes a picture of him and calls it in for instructions as to what to do!

    • The fact the man is homeless is totally irrelevant. Anyone charging someone else with a deadly weapon, cop or otherwise, has started the end game. Finishing the end game is not something to be pondered or trifled with.

  12. If things keep up at this pace the DNC won’t have any voters left once November rolls around.

  13. Was this really news? I dare say that it would not get one line of text in this publication if the words “outside GOP convention” could not be included in the headline and even still its clear that this incident had nothing to do with the RNC or its delegates.

    • Over 100 Alaskans who were at the convention and their families who love them think it’s news, but you keep on being you Bob, in your own little bubble. Unless it impacts you directly, it’s not news. Got it.
