Tough week for the Alford Brothers of #SpringfieldOR.

First, Tyler shows up to the National Shutdown solidarity protest with his firearm across his chest (didn't Trump say that was bad? 😅)

Three days later, his brother Joseph is arrested by SPD for *checks notes* threatening motorists with a gun.
A screenshot of The Register-Guard's reporting showing Chris Pietsch's photo of Tyler Alford, who self identified, brandishing an AR-style rifle. A screenshot of SPD's press release on Facebook.
