Trump-loving grandma outs Portland ‘bomber’ to feds — and it’s her own grandson
New York Post ^ | August 1, 2020 | Andy Ngo

Posted on 08/01/2020 6:53:04 AM PDT by karpov

Shortly after midnight on Tuesday morning, videos captured the moment a makeshift bomb was thrown at the Portland federal courthouse during another night of violent protest. A Trump-loving, 69-year-old woman soon stepped forward to out the suspect publicly — as her own grandson.

Karla Fox says she recognized the alleged bomber as her daughter’s son, 18-year-old Gabriel “Rico” Agard-Berryhill.

In the hours after the IED attack, social-media users analyzed videos showing a slim male, wearing a distinctive olive vest with the word “ICONS” printed on it, throwing something over the fence at the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse. Seconds later, a large explosion erupts, covering the front door in flames. The man picks up something off the ground and sprints off-camera. Police said the concussion could be “heard and felt more than a block away.”

Fox instantly identified her grandson because she gave him the vest.

“I bought the vest for him after he found one online after getting hit with rubber bullets the night before at the protest,” Fox told The Post. (She even left a positive review on clothing site Hibbett: “I got this for my grandson who’s a protester downtown, he uses it every night and says it does the job.”) She posted a photo of him posing in the $26 non-bulletproof apparel.

Agard-Berryhill seemed to confess to misguided involvement in the incident in text messages to The Post on Thursday, although he did not confirm he was the bomber.

“The device I’ve been accused of allegedly throwing was allegedly given to me by an unknown protestor with full face coverings,” he wrote. “I was allegedly told that it was a strobe firework that wouldn’t damage the building or harm anyone around it.”

Everybody should try to learn one new word a day. For that guy I guess the word of the day was “allegedly”.

I was allegedly told that it was a stroll firework...

So he’s not even sure if someone told him that.

That’s quite a command of the English language. And that he was stupid enough to throw anything that was handed to him, he belongs in prison

Fox says when she last saw her grandson last week, he said that he was peacefully protesting and “protected a girl.”


Forgot to tell ya, Gram, the girl was a naked prostitute.

“Late that same night Agard-Berryhill told his probation officer he wanted to turn himself in.”

Nice, law-abiding kid ... before he threw the bomb. /S

Agard-Berryhill has alleged allegiance to allies of not just alleged but proven EVIL!

This is on the surface a feel-good story. But these rioters are dangerous people. So I hope the local cops are keeping an eye on the grandmother’s house.

It’s not the grandson I’m concerned about. It’s the grandson’s running buddies.

Waiting for this leftist punk to claim: A black guy gave it to me! It was a black guy!

A person claiming to be the kid’s sister tweeted that both of them had spent their entire childhood in foster care. This family seems to be quite a piece of work.
