Portland Rioter Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison For Setting Fire to an Occupied Police Precinct
Epoch Times ^ | 06/14/2021 | Zachary Steiber

A man who set fire to an occupied police precinct in Portland, Oregon, during the nationwide riots has been sentenced to five years in prison in a plea deal that will see him avoid a harsher sentence.

Gavaughn Streeter-Hillerich pleaded guilty to first-degree arson before being sentenced.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by The Epoch Times, Streeter-Hillerich was filmed along with five others looking at an overturned dumpster that had been placed against the wall of a beauty supply store in Portland on June 26, 2020. Streeter-Hillerich then lit something inside of a tire that had been placed on top of the dumpster. The lit material blew out of the fire, prompting him to pick it up and put it back in place.

As a person who chose to remain anonymous filmed the scene, Streeter-Hillerich kept lighting additional items as others placed them inside the tire.

At one point, the man pulled down his mask and talked to the growing group of onlookers. The video zoomed in on his face, which was lit by the glow of the fire, which was growing “significantly bigger,” according to court documents.

Streeter-Hillerich was soon seen preventing someone who tried to extinguish the flames.

He was later arrested. During an interview with a detective, he admitted he was at a protest and used a lighter to try to light the fire.

“He said he thought lighting the fire might help get his anger under control and that he was angry about police using tear gas. He said he believed the fire was going to go out because there was no air and that he was surprised when the fire went up the canvas awning. He said it had burned him and showed Det. Hopper a burn on his arm,”

Gavaughn has three last names.
Gavaughn doesn’t sound too bright in his decision making.

So...he lit a fire and was shocked to see that it didn’t go out. So I sense a sough of skepticism amongst the hard-hearted on this board?

There must be some mistake.

Antifa/BLM get a free pass.

Trump supporters get solitary confinement in lieu of bail.

I thought that breaking into a police station, taking equipment, then setting fire to it were the acts of “mostly peaceful protesters”. Is Veep Harris still paying for the legal defense fund for these “heroes”?

“He said he thought lighting the fire might help get his anger under control..”

Be honest here. Who among us hasn’t thought that setting a building full of duly deputized officers of the law ON FIRE isn’t a perfectly rational way to deal with our anger issues?

"Hope he is raped by the Homo Bubba’s in Prison everyday."

He's already practiced "assuming the position" for bubba.

Should have been 25 to life. Why in the world did they plea bargain him down?

Speaking of people getting "waved in" in order that they may cause trouble:

JUNE 9, 2020 : (SEATTLE CITY COUNCILWOMAN KSHAMA SAWANT [see INDIA?] UNLOCKS THE DOORS OF CITY HALL... AND ADMITS ANTIFA TO ENTER AND OCCUPY THE BUILDING ...)To: OKSooner "So this Sawant creature is in charge of CHOP?" She conspires with them to undermine the police and local authority. She is the one who unlocked City Hall on June 9th and allowed protesters to occupy the building. The mayor didn't have the balls to have her arrested for it. 27 posted on 6/20/2020, 9:20:25 PM by ETCM
