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.

My escape and evasion training started early that night. Lucky for us we knew where a small cave was located that was large enough near the mouth to seat six nervous teenagers. They stayed in the area for about 1 1/2 hours, combing the woods. I bet they had a blast.
You just warmed my heart.
Yep.
I have about sixty years to give away. Then I’ll be in my prime again.
Move folks from the ICE facility, state they are moving illegal scum at a certain time (false time, folks have already been moved), at the height of insurrection... several 1000lb JDAMS.
Tell ANTIFA you’ll help rebuild if they surrender unconditionally otherwise the bombings continue.
We should ask him. Oh wait. We can't. Because the tolerant left killed him. And they'd do the same to you in a heartbeat. Don't fool yourself. Some people cannot be reasoned with.
I am all for it. I think they stupidly don’t want to shoot the idiot antifa women though. Personally, sex makes zero difference concerning criminals and terrorists. And it shouldn’t.
Identify, arrest, convict and FEDERAL prison terms.

For that to happen, America’s judicial systems would have to be cleansed of all anti-American Marxist judges. IOWs, all the ones who slithered onto the benches upon being turned loose by Obama and the other snake handler who succeeded him.
The latest (It’s like whack a mole with these judges. You can tell this is an organized leftist plot to stymie the Trump administration):
“A federal judge in Chicago on Thursday temporarily restricted National Guard operations in Illinois, voicing concern that the Trump administration’s version of events was “simply unreliable” and that deploying troops anywhere in the state would “only add fuel to the fire.”
A lawyer for the federal government had said in a hearing earlier in the day that the troops were needed to protect immigration enforcement personnel and property, including around an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in suburban Chicago that has been the center of protests. But the judge, April M. Perry, sided with lawyers for the state, saying that she had “seen no credible evidence that there is a danger of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.”
The extent of the temporary restraining order was not immediately clear on Thursday, and the order has not yet been entered into the court system.”

Everyone involved should be indicted for attempted murder and upon conviction sentenced to 20 years in prison with no possibility for parole.
Shut up!! This is war and they are the enemy.
“Go to a park, a field, (blah blah) Mask up..”
well, thanks for telling our guys where and how to id the troublemakers...Let’s have a paintball tracer tag game followed with a tazer tag game. Do these clowns think nobody will track who’s entering parks and ‘fields’? Or that they’ve already been facially and body profile ID’d? Wolverines they’re not. But good luck with that ski mask, ladies.
“...Do you really want to kill these people?...”
When the politicians fail ya,
When the legal system fails ya,
When the judicial system fails ya,
When law enforcement fails ya,
It’s just about all that’s left...and no, I really don’t want to see anyone killed.
However, I do want to see em held completely accountable for their illegal BS. IF that means shipping em out of the country to GITMO, CECOT, etc never to be seen or heard from ever again...so be it.
FWIW, IF the tables were turned, they’d outright kill you, me and everyone else in heartbeat. They’ve already proven that.
Yes, yes we do. And no, we're not "better than this," FFS. Perhaps you hadn't noticed, but there's a war going on. A war against those who would happily see us dead, no exceptions for you, whatever your pretentions to neutrality might be. And there's nothing that Charlie Kirk can say now because he's dead. I'm done talking. And I'm not alone.
I've never seen a photo of the Mk47 Automatic Grenade Launcher mounted for a helicopter door gunner but I assume it would be easy enough to do.
Time to get rid of these rabid dogs.
