Here’s Oregon Public Broadcasting’s take on it (I particularly like the title):

Far right brawler Alan Swinney found guilty on several counts by Multnomah County jury
A Multnomah County jury returned several guilty verdicts Tuesday in the trial against Alan Swinney, a far right extremist who faced 12 charges stemming from his role in violent political clashes in downtown Portland during the summer of 2020.
Swinney was found not guilty on one second-degree assault charge, but was convicted of the remaining counts, including unlawful use of a weapon, attempted assault, pointing a firearm at another, second-degree unlawful use of mace, among others.
Swinney has been held in Multnomah County jail since being arrested Sept. 30, 2020. He now awaits sentencing, and could face several years in prison.
...at one point Swinney pulled a revolver and pointed it at the crowd of counterprotesters.
He said in testimony he drew the gun because he ran out of paintballs and mace.
Answers one commenter’s question about what he’d been acquitted on. And clearly, he had no remorse!
And wow — thanks for getting this on the Trending list!
