Colin Smith, who was fatally stabbed in Portland, Oregon, on July 2, died protecting a friend who was facing anti-LGBTQ harassment.

Colin Smith 32 had gotten off work and headed to a bar with friends. Once at the bar having a nice night a man came up and started harassing his friends using homophobic slurs, Smith defended his friend and the man retaliated by stabbing Smith multiple times and fled the scene. Unfortunately, he had passed away by time that Officers arrived.

“He died being the person we all knew him as, The protector”

The suspect was later arrested on the 7th of July by US Marshalls, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced Thursday that a grand jury had indicted Rahnique Usef Jackson, 24, on three charges relating to Smith’s death: murder in the second degree, unlawful use of a weapon and bias crime in the second degree.

This is why I give free shooting lessons to anyone even remotely close to the lgbtq+ community

I've been known to provide the ammo when the person doesn't know what to use.
