PORTLAND, Ore.—U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams announced today that 18 people have been arrested and are facing federal charges this week for their roles in recent weeknight protests at the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse in Portland.
According to court documents, since May 26, 2020, protests in downtown Portland have been followed by nightly criminal activity including assaults on law enforcement officers, destruction of property, looting, arson, and vandalism. The Hatfield Federal Courthouse has been a nightly target of vandalism during evening protests and riots, sustaining extensive damage.
U.S. Marshals Service deputies and officers from the Federal Protective Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection working to protect the courthouse have been subjected to nightly threats and assaults from demonstrators while performing their duties.
Five people have been charged for alleged criminal conduct during a protest beginning July 20, 2020 and continuing into the early morning hours of July 21, 2020. Jennifer Kristiansen, 37, is charged with assaulting a federal officer; Zachary Duffly, 45, is charged with creating a disturbance; Wyatt Ash-Milby, 18, is charged with trespassing on federal property; and Caleb Ehlers, 23, and Paul Furst, 22, are charged with failing to comply with a lawful order.
Seven people have been charged for alleged criminal conduct during a protest beginning July 21, 2020 and continuing into the early morning hours of July 22, 2020. Jerusalem Callahan, 24, is charged with willfully damaging government property; Joseph Ybarra, 21, is charged with arson; Marnie Sager, 27, and Ella Miller, 26, are charged failing to comply with a lawful order; and Taylor Lemons, 31; Giovanni Bondurant, 19; and Gabriel Houston, 22, are charged with assaulting federal officers.
Six people have been charged for alleged criminal conduct during a protest beginning July 22, 2020 and continuing into the early morning hours of July 23, 2020. Joseph Lagalo, 37; Baily Dreibelbis, 22; Nicholas Kloiber, 26; David Hazan, 24; Hailey Holden, 30; and Cameron Knuetson, age unknown, are charged with failing to comply with a lawful order.
All defendants are presumed to be local residents.
All 18 defendants have made their first appearances in federal court and were ordered released pending jury trials or other follow-up court proceedings.
These cases are being jointly investigated the U.S. Marshals Service and Federal Protective Service. They are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.
Criminal complaints and informations are only accusations of a crime, and defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
I’m not sure I understand the rational to engage in Portland. Let it rot and be an example to the rest of the country.
Our government has an Active Denial System ( military truck that can project sound waves that creates intense heat). Why are we not using them on these mindless idiots.
OREGON PING
If you’d like to be on or off the Oregon ping list, please freep mail me
Would it affect people in nearby apartments/condos?

I would play into leftist tactics. They are trying to falsely portray Trump as “hurting” people with “shock troops” etc. Trump is navigating tough political waters. He is trying to keep enforcement recognizable (similar to what the cities have seen in other riot situations). Active Denial System use would no doubt result in prostrate women in children screaming that Trump is burning them.
First put them to work cleaning up this mess.. Scrubbing off all the graffiti.. Then give them long sentences in Leavenworth..
Id create a large vat filled with liquified brown sewage and throw them all in there for a mid-summer swim. They are filth and act as such.
Gotta eat with something. Lots of plastic there including
water bottles.
Worth noting that theyre throwing frozen water bottles. One of the live-streams caught a guy asking for a water bottle, the response to which was For drinking or throwing?
That kind of plastic burns well.

I believe the local PTB specifically mandated no use of *sound cannons* along with a list of other non-lethal response.
And they only arrested 18 people over three nights of rioting? Should have filled Multnomah Stadium with prisoners by now, social distancing be damned.
Apparently, the socialists are very well hydrated...
I heard two policemen may have been permanently blinded by those lasers..
So do you just let them torch the high-rise Federal building?
At some points in that video you see how long and often the lasers are focused on the federal officers eyes. Sad that the left applauds and excuses this illegal and inhumane behavior. They have managed to do a great job of keeping it out of the main stream media, though.
Yeah. Im sure the National Lawyers Guild commies were behind their release. This catch and release is really undermining the rule of law.
No release, swift trials, 40 hear sentences with no possibility of parole would end a lot of this.
I wonder how many of them will return to trial.
Yeah. The ridiculously low numbers, the catch and release own recognizance...it is just pathetic. Use black helicopters to drop nets over a couple of city blocks and herd them into the stadium.
Then administer a loyalty oath like at the end of the CW. If you want to continue enjoying the privileges of being an American citizen, pledge loyalty...or get sent away for 40 years.
That would put the fear of God into those young white female leftists.
The leftists would swear to anything, though, and laugh because they got over on the system. A promise or oath means nothing to someone with no concept of personal honor.
And most judges wouldn’t enforce any penalty for breaking the oath, either.
True and true. Just a pipe dream.
These people have zero honor.
