PORTLAND, Ore.—Eva Warner, aka Joshua Warner, 25, of Beaverton, Oregon, has been charged by criminal complaint with civil disorder, a felony, after targeting the eyes of multiple law enforcement officers with a high-powered laser during an August 8, 2020 riot in North Portland.
According to court documents, in the late evening on August 8, 2020, a riot was declared at the Portland Police Association office on North Lombard Street in Portland after individuals broke windows and set fire to the office. The crowd also used vehicles and dumpsters to illegally block nearby vehicle traffic.
Oregon State Police officers notified the Portland Police Bureau’s Rapid Response Team that Warner had directed a high-powered, green laser into the eyes of numerous law enforcement officers attempting to disperse the riot. Warner resisted arrest, prompting officers to use force. Officers found a black, pen-style laser pointer on Warner’s person. Warner was taken into custody and later released.
On September 2, 2020, Warner was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in a southeast Portland apartment without incident.
Warner appeared in federal court today before a U.S. Magistrate Judge and was released pending further court proceedings. If convicted, Warner faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.
This case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service. It is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.
A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
Good! I wonder how many of these fools thought it was basically a virtual reality game.
He said Beaverton.
Arresting officer was Sgt. Mike Hunt.
Trannie in Beaverton.
Are freaks now naming their daughters Joshua?
Did I read that first sentence correctly? Is this “thing” a tranny?
So has Eva become Joshua or Joshua become Eva? Need pic.
She should be charged with assault and attempted maiming.
This may be a great thread.
Tektronix stuff was pretty cool and very useful back in the day.
I agree. Civil disorder? WTF?
He/she??
A he pretending to be a she and the Justice Department takes part in the insanity.
Perhaps they can get it on jaywalking too
What is the sentence for civil disorder?
In prior news reports from either Portland or Seattle, we’ve heard reports that several officers were “blinded” by these lasers. Of course there has been little follow up. I’m quite aware of the power and danger of lasers pointed into someones eye. I wonder, is this permanent blinding? Because, I along with any sane person would consider that grievous bodily harm, among the most serious forms possible. And I know that any one of these lasers carries a prominent warning label as to this danger. Were those cops permanently blinded? Because if she’s convicted, that’s a 20+ year prison sentence as far as I am concerned, as well as a serious fine to pay for lost wages and therapy.
A lot was on original BSG’s ships.
These are the devices they are using.

You can start fires with them and yet they are shining them into people’s eyes. This is assault with a deadly weapon. Also, many states require registration, so there is probably some law being broken there. Civil disorder? Really? That’s like the guy who beat the tar out of a retired police officer in New York and got “Aggressive Panhandling”. More Democrats thumbing their nose at rule of law.
I see no difference between someone pointing a powerful commercial laser at a LEO and someone pointing a gun.
Shoot the laser operators dead on sight and I suspect this activity will quickly diminish.
