PORTLAND, Ore. — A woman who lives near the South Portland ICE facility and its near-nightly protests is suing the city over the noise.
Sirens, bullhorn messages from protesters, buzzers, bells and revving engines are among the cacophony Cloud Elvengrail says are making her home, where she's lived since last July, "akin to a torture chamber."
According to the lawsuit, Elvengrail lives in low-income housing, Gray's Landing, across the street from the ICE facility, as well as near a Tesla showroom. She said the noises have been happening well into the night for weeks, with the lawsuit describing an incident in late June, when Elvengrail "felt pressure in her left ear... When she reached up to touch her ear, she saw her finger was covered in blood."
Though Elvengrail in the lawsuit stresses that she supports peaceful protest and did not vote for President Donald Trump, the noise and activity are "non-protected speech activity" that's been "occurring at all hours of the day and night."
Efforts to confront said demonstrators, as well as contact police, have been unsuccessful, including multiple instances where protesters made violent threats and have allegedly tried to get her evicted. In the lawsuit, Elvengrail said she is trying to move elsewhere but cannot afford to do so, and she was forced to stop crowdsourcing funds in order to leave because it could render her ineligible for "state and federal housing, nutrition, health care and disability payments."
"I am living in constant pain, my ears are ringing, the sound is so loud it made my left ear bleed, and there is no peace or quiet because the sound weapons they’re using day and night are killing us. And we’re trapped with no escape. It’s got to stop.
He'd likely tell you, "Sit down, shut up, and pay more taxes."
She had better not to complain publicly about it, or she’ll get arrested and jailed. Probably without a trial for 2 years or more.
They have ear protectors.
Portland clears protest camp outside ICE days after noise ordinance lawsuit filed
Portland’s libtard mayor is probably attending those protests, lady.
He’d likely tell you, “Sit down, shut up, and pay more taxes.”
Did you miss this part?
because it could render her ineligible for “state and federal housing, nutrition, health care and disability payments.”
She will never stoop to paying taxes. We will foot her bill for legal aid as well.
Your article dated July 11, says the protest camp was cleared up, but the one I posted dated July 12 says it’s still going on. Hmmmm.
saw that...confusing.
Subsidized housing, and she has complaints.
where are the other neighbors?
down for the revolution?
City will say the protesters have freedom of sound 😂😂😂
Well she voted Democrat. This is what she asked for and voted for. I believe the Polish expression most apt is “tough shitski”
At some point a completely fed up honest citizen is gonna hang out the window with a rifle and shut these punks up for good.
I wouldn’t condone it.
But I would understand it.
L
She calls herself “Cloud Elvengrail”? I can practically smell the patchouli from here.
Notable: These antifa thugs have developed their own sonic weapon and have been ‘firing’ it at the ICE building, which is a noise that’s both indescribable and impossible to accurately record in a video or on a phone.
The city of portland is responsible for having destroyed the city in favor of activism & deviancy.
I hope the lady punishes them well but, having stated that, the current residents will pay the price ($$).
Hence city administration learns nothing.
Cloud Elvengrail?
Maybe she should move back to Middle Earth. Somewhere orc-free.
I doubt she is paying taxes. Interesting that she is part of one group Dems pretend to love,poor and on every welfare program there is
But Dems love protesters trying to stop ICE more
So she loses
Walked downtown Portland past the ICE station and ran into a couple of Antifa punks. I now have my 4th of July 4th fireworks.
RE: City will say the protesters have freedom of sound 😂😂😂
How about this one:
Sue because the 5 times a day Muslim Call To Prayer cannot be heard over the raucous shrieking of the rioters.
Better be careful. Antifa is a vengeful god, and the meager prayers “I support peaceful protest,” and “I didn’t vote for Trump” are not going to assuage the god’s wrath
