Judge Exempts Antifa from Noise Ordinance [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 17 August 2025 | John Semmens

Resident Cloud Elvengrail filed a complaint that "the 24-hour Antifa occupation outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland is disturbing the peace. Every day for months I've had to endure around the clock loud and shrill noises. It's pure torture. I want the police to enforce the City's anti-noise codes."

Elvengrail also complained of harassment and and intimidation. Other witnesses from the neighborhood corroborated her testimony, saying they "didn't feel safe." Video evidence of assaults on federal agents, members of the media and residents, as well as arson attacks on the ICE facility were also presented.

Elvengrail's attorneys argued that "the city has failed to enforce its anti-noise codes and the Portland Police have failed to respond to ongoing unlawful assemblies outside the ICE facility, which the agency is obligated to quell under a Department of Justice consent decree."

Attorneys for the city argued that "forcing police to respond the way one resident wants them to respond sets a scary precedent."

Multnomah County Judge Ellen Rosenbaum ruled against Elvengrail, saying "there is insufficient evidence to prove that the police have not done their duty as they see it. While I have sympathy for the impacted residents, the free speech rights of the protesters outweigh the residents' expectation for peace and quiet after midnight."

Give the judge a taste of her own medicine. After midnight is the preferred timing. Be sure to wear black bloc.

"...the free speech rights of the protesters outweigh the residents' expectation for peace and quiet after midnight."

One solution (besides the wood chipper) is to publish the judge's address and organize a protest in front of "its" house...

good internet rumor "isn't this the judge secretly helping ICE with midnight star chambers"..
Maybe someone should let antifa know.

A few loud protests outside the judges home during the wee hours, on and off, for about a month sounds like a fun - and totally fine with her, outing.

Another disgusting piece-of-crap liberal judge.

“...no expectation for peace and quiet after midnight.”
