Portland Anarchists Openly Plot Mass Attack On Federal Aircraft
Daily Caller ^ | 10/09/2025 | Hudson Crozier

Posted on 10/09/2025 1:00:37 PM PDT by DFG

An online anarchist platform encouraged people on Wednesday to shine lasers at federal helicopters in Portland, Oregon, a crime that law enforcement officials say can create extreme danger for pilots.

A post on the leftist, Portland-focused website “Rose City Counter-Info” tells viewers to scatter throughout the city’s streets on Saturday for the attack — nicknamed “Laser Tag” — as federal agents respond to demonstrations near the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The goal is to “ground” the helicopters by making it difficult to safely fly them and flash too many lasers for law enforcement to hunt down those using them, according to the anonymously-written post.

“All you need is a laser. Leave home – they can see where the laser is coming from,” the post reads. “Go to a park, a field, or some other public place, and once the clock strikes 9 unleash your beam at the cop copter. Mask up. Coordinate with friends to throw a laser party!”

“Let’s take back the night together!” the announcement continued. “It won’t take many of us to ground the helicopters!”

The post also tells allies to wear gloves and clean their laser pointers with alcohol in case they must dispose of it. A link in the text offers tips on keeping one’s DNA off an object.

Rose City Counter-Info did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously called out the website in July for “doxxing” ICE officers by publishing their names and home addresses. The agency promised prosecutions for such activity.

Federal prosecutors also charged a man with the crime of aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft in Portland days before the Rose City Counter-Info post, alleging he aimed it at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopter in September.

“The laser can cause blindness and spotting in vision, making it a challenge to find other aircraft and obstacles, which could lead to a catastrophic event,” an FBI agent said in a criminal complaint. One crew member in the helicopter had to avert his eyes while in flight due to the laser, the complaint said.

The DHS did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment. The FBI’s Portland office declined to comment in an automated email response, citing the ongoing government shutdown.

President Donald Trump is pushing to bring National Guard troops to Portland over months of chaotic anti-ICE protests, which have corresponded with nearly 150 arrests near the local ICE facility. Oregon and Portland are jointly challenging his plan in court.

Other tactics by the protest mobs have included forcing homeless people to help distract or confront law enforcement at the ICE facility, according to Portland police.

Protesters should no longer tolerate “the federal regime” spying on them from helicopters, the Wednesday post declares.

“Actions that aim at destroying the capacity of our enemies to enforce control in simple and concrete ways can make more daring actions possible,” it says.

Those who use lasers in such a manner are an imminent threat of death or serious injury to those in the aircraft, and deadly force to stop them should be authorized.

How ironic...their poster complains about the chopper noise, but antifa has been beating drums and making loud noise at night every night for MONTHS. The poor citizens have to put up with their crap and neither the city, the police, DAs, governor will do anything about it.

Cloud Elvengrail says she can’t sleep due to the protesters and violent clashes and says the city has completely let her and others like her down. “If you’re poor, black, and disabled, … ‘You’re on your own,’ ” she said through a lawyer. Katie Daviscourt/X

Time to start carrying door gunners with laser protective goggle and live ammo. They light your aircraft up with a laser perfectly justified response is to light them up with an M-60 oops showing my age.

Domestic terrorism. A new rule of engagement: source pointing the laser will be shot.

Laser tag should be countered with lead tag.

Intentionally attempting to disable a helicopter is a serious crime under both Oregon state law and federal law and would likely result in multiple felony charges.

Endangering aircraft (ORS 164.885): It is a Class C felony to knowingly tamper with an aircraft or its operating systems in a way that impairs its safety or operation without the owner’s consent.

Attempted murder (ORS 163.115): If the attempt is made while people are aboard the helicopter, a person could be charged with attempted murder. This is supported by a 2023 case in Oregon where an off-duty pilot who tried to disable a plane’s engines mid-flight was charged with 83 counts of attempted murder.

Just get as many as they can and throw the book at them. Attempted murder is not a light crime and bail is going to be a lot different.

This is coordinated insurrection INVOKE THE ACT ALREADY.

Send in the Marines with orders to shoots on sight, rioters anyone attacking aircraft with energy weapons and let out the “Eye of Sauron” drone along with Reapers that are holding hundreds of AI guided FPV drones that kamikaze into these enemy combatants and domestic terrorists. 5 grams of RDX or TNT removes the individual and won’t even break windows 50 feet away. Argus uploads the image of the person in multispectral to the FPV drone and provides mid course guidance as it persistently tracks the combatant once the smaller kill drones are in visual range they go AI control and home in on the person’s face, multispec print, walking or running gait or the reaper can coded IR laser mark the target and the drone seeks that. A single reaper could carry hundreds of dropable FPV killers. Ok ok don’t want to kill them have the FPV spray them with UV and shortwave IR indelible dye then have the agents and troops with NVG and UV lights and multspec goggles search for anyone glowing arrest on sight or if they resist well back to killing them.

Take the gloves off we are in a civil war stop fighting it with hands tied.

Position the best sniper teams on the roofs of buildings with the best field of vision on the area.

Equip them with all the required equipment, including night vision.

Authorize them to immediately fire on all lasers pointed upward.

Repeat daily.

“justified response is to light them up with an M-60 oops showing my age.”

These are the droids you seek... That gimble sensor is hardened to laser light. Times to roll out the full weight of the American military on those in full insurrection of our government.

That is a serious federal charge along with whatever conspiracy charges that can be tacked on. They would probably end up doing less time if they hit an officer with a bat.

Why bother when cluster munitions work so much better and can be fired from 10s of miles away.

Look at the link I posted , put the rifles on drones and fly them over the area each drone has a 2000 meter radius of if you shine a laser at a help a 338 or 50 cal round is coming your way.

For city work the guided 50 cal round homing on a laser from either the drone itself or from a 3rd party designator like a Argus drone or a Reaper extends the range to 4000+ meters and it homes on running and moving targets.

This is the way.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YoOaJclkSZg

You can see it homing on a rapidly moving target it won’t miss, this tech can be scaled up to 20mm for payload carrying rounds read AP incendiary or better yet proximity air burst in 30mmx113mm with a 10 meter kill radius to take out a group of insurrectionists the drone help can carry either or both a 50 and a 30mm. We have the means we lack the will.
