Inside a Portland Antifa cell: arrests, weapons and an attempted murder.
PORTLAND, Ore. — Two trans members of an Antifa cell in Portland, Ore. were arrested over an attempted murder shooting attack.
Rem Heathen, real name Michael Richard Fadich (born May 20, 1987), and Jennifer “Feya” Michelle Bitgood, real name Shawn Michael Bitgood (born May 1982), were allegedly involved in an attempted murder on Dec. 21, 2025 in the Mt. Tabor neighborhood of southeast Portland. A man was found with gunshot wounds in a parking lot of an apartment complex. He was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Fadich and Bitgood were located at the scene and identified. Their weapons, an AR-15-style rifle with a muzzle device and two semi-automatic pistols, were seized in the investigation.

The two were not arrested that night and Fadich later fled out of state. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s office successfully secured felony secret grand jury indictments against the two, and arrest warrants were granted on Jan. 2. 
Michael Fadich fled to California after the shooting
On Jan. 8, officers with the Mt. Shasta Police Department in northern California arrested Fadich after someone called police at a gasoline station. Fadich was extradited back to Multnomah County, where he has been charged with six felonies: attempted murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, two counts of unlawful use of a weapon, and coercion.

Late on Jan. 10, Bitgood was arrested at a far-left riot outside the Portland ICE facility on the warrant. He was in a group of masked militants dressed in black. Bitgood was charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon and felony coercion.
Both were booked into jail as “female,” even though they are men. Oregon law allows for self-identification of sex. Fadich remains in custody, while Bitgood was released without bail. He has regularly returned to the far-left direct actions at the ICE facility.
In 2009, Fadich’s wife divorced him. He went further into far-left politics in the years since.
The two suspects are members of an Antifa cell in Portland and have a years-long history of militant Antifa involvement. Both have in recent months been attendees of the riots outside the ICE facility.
.......SNIP.......
These are CRAZY people.
Do all of these crazies try to look the same so it’s easy to find them
Trantifa strikes again.
The costumes and cosplay gets worse and worse, and they continue down a path further and further from mental help.
Someone is pumping a lot of money into these antifa cells. Who is paying for members food, hotel, transportation and firearms?
It’s time to reopen the insane asylums.
Yes. Mentally ill individuals who attack themselves sometimes attack and kill innocent others. At that point of pre-meditated attack, they should be terminated whenever possible. Look for visual clues. Listen for audio clues. Watch for behavioral clues. Stay alert. Stay alive.
Wrong. They are demon-possessed.
Rem Heathen?
Any relation to Bam-Bam Heretic?
The alleged terrorist Pretti in Minneapolis had no ID, had been trained in agitation and defiance of law enforcement, and carried a handgun WITH TWO MAGAZINES.
During his Thoreau and MLK like saintly expression of policy disagreement with ICE, what was the role he saw for two magazines? /S
Two magazines would not be necessary to repel a carjacker or a mugger. Yes, IF he had ID he would have a right to carry the weapon and magazines. But why would he plan to confront ICE agents in a fluid situation of arrests and defiance by loud protesters, carrying two magazines?
A long shootout. Killing a dozen people like the church shootings and school shootings?
What hormone drugs was he on?
Photos.
They look like the extras in the inevitable club dancing scenes in The Trip and many cop movies and TV series. Colored lights, strobe lights and maybe a mirror ball overhead.
Colorful freaks in the background as someone is questioned at a table by police. With a song playing that is a studio tie-in to a record release as well as the soundtrack album. Best ever in my opinion was To Live and Die in LA with Wang Chung doing all the music. But best closing credits scrolling song was “Slow Ride” by Foghat for Dazed and Confused.

That spiked dog collar would usually be on a female dog, you know, a bitch. 🐶
Maybe not inappropriate after all.
Look at how scrawny these turkeys are.

I know all the tricks of you jungle beast men. You ask me on a candle lit dinner date and then lean across the table to kiss me on the cheek. I’ll pull out my mace and spray your eyes. I’m way ahead of you.
The county DA will drop Al, charges. Portland IS antifa. Nothing there happens without antifa. Antifa took over the government there when the soviets fell in the 90s.
PS. Oregon is a shall issue state for CCW. Anyone who lives there should be carrying. Avoid the I5 corridor and you’ll be OK.
I live in the I-5 corridor.
Rules I live by:
1. Know where the enemy is.
2. Do not go there.
3. If the enemy is encountered, retreat, do not engage.
4. If the enemy impedes my retreat, use incrementally increasing force to neutralize the enemy threat.
5. If needed, shoot to kill.
To that end, I carry at all times (where legal to do so) mace spray, mace gel, a tactical light, a tactical knife, an Asp baton, a Springfield Armory XD-M in .40 S&W, with three magazines of 16 tactical duty hollow points.
I pray to God every time I leave the house, that I should never need to draw my weapon, but if I do, then guide my shots.
I hate what my city has become.
