A Portland Democrat who once called for homeless individuals to be given housing suffered an ironic and cruel twist of fate last week.

As The Oregonian reported, 51-year-old homeless man Vashon Locust was arrested on Tuesday after starting a fire that torched Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos’ townhome and car.

He faces charges of reckless burning, second-degree mischief, and trespassing. These are all misdemeanors.

According to a police affidavit obtained by the paper, Locust snuck into a shed near Avalos’ home on October 26 and attempted to use an electric outlet.

When that failed, he set a fire to stay warm, but he later claimed that it got out of control and tried to put it out.

“He shared that it was very cold that night and his clothing was wet,” the affidavit reads. “Locust attempted to extinguish the fire with his foot.”

Rush Limbaugh used to say that a conservative was just a liberal who got mugged.

I had a college teacher who was fairly liberal. Then, one day, she spent 45 minutes face down on the floor of a bank during a robbery. The next day she wanted the death penalty for all dirtbags.

Feel good story of the decade.

Avalos and her cat managed to escape the incident unharmed. She claimed afterward that she was targeted for her political beliefs.

I am sincerely glad that she and her cat got out, but boy, is she dumb.

Karma at work.

Shoulda’ rubbed her stupidity in her face, AFTER you graduated....she probably was, and still is, a person who cannot understand life or herself.

IMHO, of course.

I’m glad the cat got out. Cat didn’t deserve to die because its owner is an idiot. She needs more than losing her house ..maybe a tiny taste of 1500 degree acrid smoke inhalation. So she won’t support defunding fire department or cops.
Ya’ reap what ya’ sow ...Avalos the dummy....

I see an image of two cats leaning back in their chairs and laughing hysterically.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH,NOW THAT’S FUNNY. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[AppyPappy]

Even better, torching a liberal politicians house is a misdemeanor now

[Dave911]

Karma can be such a bitch.

[CommerceComet]

Now Candace Avalos can put her money where her mouth is and rebuild her house as a shelter for the homeless.
