Aaron & #39;Jay& #39; Danielson (Shadle Park HS alum) was killed in downtown Portland on Saturday. Talked to his dad & stepmom, who now keep finding themselves in situations they want nothing to do with: from Danielson& #39;s shooting to his murder being used as a political talking point. https://twitter.com/KHQLocalNews/status/1301288054196441089">https://twitter.com/KHQLocalN...
Danielson& #39;s dad & stepmom have been ignoring calls from reporters, but called KHQ after they heard @JoeBiden talk about their son today. Biden spoke about the need to hold shooters accountable, including the person who shot Danielson.

Here& #39;s the problem: Danielson& #39;s parents only heard a cut-off version of Biden& #39;s words, which excluded his take that Danielson& #39;s shooter should be arrested. They& #39;re still upset with the characterization of their son, but agree with Biden& #39;s overall point. BUT the other problem...
Even if the clip is fully shown, that doesn& #39;t mean the politicization will stop (example attached). Danielson& #39;s dad and stepmom consider themselves moderates, so the idea that their son& #39;s death is being used by either side of the aisle? It upsets them. https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1301215696442060800?s=20">https://twitter.com/stillgray...
