Jury finds self-proclaimed Proud Boy Alan Swinney guilty of assault, menacing, unlawful use of firearm
A jury Tuesday found Alan Swinney, a self-proclaimed Proud Boy, guilty of assault, menacing and unlawful use of a weapon for pulling out a loaded revolver, firing paintballs and spraying bear mace at counterprotesters in Portland last year.
Prosecutors called him a “one man police force,” and “vigilante cowboy,” while Swinney and his lawyer argued he was just acting in self-defense against “agitators” who wouldn’t stop harassing him….The jury found Swinney, 51, guilty of 11 of 12 charges: one count of second-degree assault, three counts of unlawful use of a weapon, pointing a firearm at another, attempted second-degree assault, two counts of unlawful use of mace, fourth-degree assault, attempted fourth-degree assault and menacing.
