'I am antifa': Sarah Iannarone forces runoff in bid to become Portland's mayor
By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, June 2, 2020
Voters in Portland, Oregon, will decide in November whether to elect an Antifa mayor, even after President Trump vowed to declare Antifa a domestic terrorism organization. Longtime Portland community organizer Sarah Iannarone has made no secret of her political sympathies. She declared last year that “I am Antifa” and wryly embraced the “Antifa mayor” label. She and her campaign manager, Gregory McKelvey, were featured in a December article in Playboy with the headline “Antifa in Focus.” “I am antifa,” she tweeted in September. “I stand proudly beside the good people of this city organizing in countless ways every day to oppose hate in its myriad forms.” Two months later, she tweeted, “If they’re going to call me ‘Antifa Mayor,’ then I might as well fight fascism.” Despite her proud stance, or maybe because of it, Ms. Iannarone placed second in the crowded May 19 mayoral primary with 23.8% of the vote. That landed her in the November runoff with Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who came up just shy of the 50% threshold needed to win the race outright. A former Oregon state treasurer, Mr. Wheeler is as liberal as the next big-city mayor. He is a Democrat, though the office is nonpartisan, but the often-violent clashes between Antifa and right-wing groups such as Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys have placed him in a difficult position. Mr. Wheeler, 57, has sought to discourage right-wingers from rallying in Portland, but he has run afoul of leftist extremists by refusing to ban right-wing groups from holding rallies on city property, given the free speech issues involved. “He’s in a no-win situation,” said Oregon Republican Party Chairman Bill Currier, mayor of Adair Village. “He’s somewhat sympathetic to [Antifa‘s] objectives, but he is loathed by them. With the Antifa folks, you’re either all-in or you’re against them.” Ms. Iannarone has taken advantage of the tension by accusing the mayor of using the “militarized” police to create a “safe space” for “white nationalists” while “abusing” anti-fascists. Her “rethinking public safety” plan calls for exploring “all legal avenues to prevent hate groups from crossing state lines” and “speaking out against hate groups with the goal of destigmatizing antifascism and clearly demonstrating that the people of Portland wish to stand up to the rise of fascism and white nationalism.” “Sarah rejects the notion of ‘both sides,’” her platform statement reads. “When the people stand up, the mayor should stand with them. The demonization of antifascism is dangerous for democracy.” Ms. Iannarone’s no-tolerance position on “hate groups” may be a First Amendment lawsuit waiting to happen, but it has without a doubt made her a popular figure on the far left, a not-insignificant percentage of the Portland vote. “There is a subculture in Portland that goes along with their unofficial motto of ‘Keep Portland Weird,’ where a certain amount of anarchy is embraced,” Mr. Currier said. “It’s about sticking it to the man to achieve social justice goals.” She may toe the Antifa line, but Ms. Iannarone, who placed third in the 2016 mayoral primary, has the political sense not to look the part. With her short, elfin red hair and round glasses, the 46-year-old looks more like a cool college professor than a street radical. She was savvy enough to take advantage of Portland’s little-used campaign financing program, which matches donations of $50 or less by 6-to-1, bringing her $330,892 in public funding, according to Willamette Week. Ms. Iannarone also has been careful not to espouse violence. She frequently defends Antifa activists as peaceful and blames law enforcement and the far-right for skirmishes. Instead of hurting her, the rioting spurred by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody may have helped Ms. Iannarone by giving her political ammunition. Mr. Wheeler has looked overwhelmed by the thousands of protesters descending on Portland. The mayor has imposed a curfew and called for Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, to send in National Guard troops to bolster local officers. Ms. Iannarone promptly condemned the action. “I oppose calling in The National Guard to stop the peaceful protests our community desperately needs to heal,” Ms. Iannarone said Monday in a written statement. “The mayor of Portland should not be taking marching orders from Donald Trump’s tweets.”

Portland police, who have made at least 75 arrests, may have a different view of whether the protests are peaceful, but Ms. Iannarone said the presence of law enforcement is making matters worse. “The solution to outrage over police brutality is not a more militarized presence in our streets,” she said. “This perpetuates the ‘us vs. them’ attitude that is ripping our city apart. I stood proudly beside our community in protest this week. They need to be heard, not hurt.” Mr. Wheeler has strong union support and will undoubtedly outraise her campaign, but Republican political consultant Jonathan Lockwood warned that Ms. Iannarone should not be underestimated. “On one hand, you have the incompetent, impotent Ted Wheeler, and on the other, you have an Antifa candidate who was able to force a runoff by pumping taxpayer funds,” Mr. Lockwood said. “I think it should be taken more seriously that she’s out and proud Antifa, and the people scoffing at her campaign should realize she now has until November to drag Wheeler out of City Hall.” Asked about his candidate’s Antifa affiliation, Mr. McKelvey said the campaign had no comment and took issue with questions about whether Ms. Iannarone belongs to the loosely organized anarchist group. “We cannot respond to an inquiry which implies one can be a part of Antifa or which intentionally confuses the default position of antifascism with membership with any group,” he said in an email. In her Playboy interview, Ms. Iannarone said she felt a “responsibility to change the public discourse around anti-fascism, absolutely.” “Our society’s lack of awareness and understanding of the issue is extremely disappointing to me,” she said. “Because this problem exists within the system, it’s important we use radical tactics — though I definitely think electoral politics matter, and that’s why I’m running.”

A Portland man who faced no prosecution for allegedly assaulting Portland cops with a powerful laser is now being federally charged instead. Hugo Ryan Berteau-Pavy, 26, was arrested on Wednesday by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and has been charged with felony civil disorder by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon. Berteau-Pavy was identified and photographed by a Portland Police Bureau officer watching the crowd of hundreds of BLM-antifa protesters and rioters who surrounded the Multnomah County Justice Center in downtown Portland on June 13. The complaint says he was standing in the street and shining his laser into the faces of officers protecting the building, which had been broken into and set on fire two weeks prior. Rioters at the time attempted to topple and dismantle the fence set-up around the building. As the protest continued into the early hours the next day, Berteau-Pavy joined a march to Mayor Ted Wheeler’s condominium in northwest Portland. There, he was also observed shining a laser into homes in the building, according to the complaint. In recent weeks, BLM-Antifa protesters have returned to Wheeler’s home to protest and riot. On Monday, rioters broke into a business in the area and set the building on fire. At the time, Portland Police charged Berteau-Pavy with unlawful directing of light from a laser pointer, interfering with a peace officer, and disorderly conduct in the second degree. His bail was quickly paid and he was released. The Multnomah County DA did not pursue any of the charges. None of Hugo Berteau-Pavy's charges from his two arrests this summer were prosecuted by the Multnomah County DA. Previously, Berteau-Pavy was among 48 arrested at a June 6 unlawful assembly when a commercial grade firework was launched over the Justice Center fence, injuring two deputies. He was charged with interfering with a peace officer and bailed out. The Multnomah County DA did not pursue that charge either. Berteau-Pavy appeared for the first time in federal court on Thursday and was released pending further court proceedings. If convicted, Berteau-Pavy faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.

In the latest case of federal crackdowns on Portland riots, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon moved to prosecute a local man with felony civil disorder following an FBI investigation that found he allegedly assaulted Portland cops with bear mace during a riot. According to the Justice Department, 26-year-old Kevin Phomma was armed with a shield and a can of bear mace when he sprayed multiple officers at an unlawful assembly on Aug. 26 outside the local Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility. When he was eventually taken into custody, police found him carrying a three-inch dagger on his hip. Phomma was charged by Portland Police with 11 felonies and misdemeanours, including interfering with a peace officer, disorderly conduct in the second degree, three counts of harassment, three unlawful tear gas misdemeanours, and three felony counts of unlawful macing. His bail was set at $33,000, which was paid. Phomma lists his pronouns as “they” and “he” on social media, and previously listed a web address for an “Antifa facilities department”''' on his Instagram profile.
Kevin Phomma
That evening on the 93rd night of organized violence by Antifa, approximately 200 people surrounded the ICE facility in SW Portland and blocked nearby city streets. The intersection they occupied is located near a hospital. As the building was vandalized, one officer was injured by a large-sized rock launched at law enforcement. Officers with the Department of Homeland Security declared a riot just before the Portland Police Bureau instructed the crowd to disperse. On Friday, Phomma turned himself in to the U.S. Marshals Service. He was released by a US magistrate judge pending further proceedings. If convicted, Phomma faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.

Feds charge Everett man linked to Seattle police rifle stolen during early Black Lives Matter protests
Sep. 4, 2020 at 6:52 pm

Federal prosecutors have charged a 24-year-old Everett man with possession of an assault-style rifle belonging to a Seattle police officer whose vehicle was torched during Black Lives Matter protests downtown May 30. Criminal charges filed in U.S. District Court allege Jacob D. Little is the masked and black-clad man photographed reaching into the back of a burned-out police patrol vehicle and removing a case containing the M-4 rifle, which was fitted with a suppressor and a red-dot sighting system. The rifle was one of five firearms stolen from police vehicles that afternoon near Sixth Avenue and Pine Street after protests turned violent. Five police cars were vandalized and burned. Three of the stolen guns have been recovered, according to the complaint. Two, including the loaded M4 rifle allegedly taken by Little, remain missing. The charges allege agents recovered electronic messages indicating Little was trying to sell the rifle. He faces a single count of possession of a stolen firearm, a crime punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. The protests were among the largest the city has seen and were in response to outrage over the May 25 death of George Floyd, who died while handcuffed with an officer’s knee on his neck in a Minneapolis. Protests over systemic racism and police violence have rocked the country since, and resulted in repeated clashes between Seattle police and crowds, mostly downtown and on Capitol Hill, in the ensuing weeks. The charges said Seattle police, with the help of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, used images captured by Seattle Police Department photographers and a tip from the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office to identify Little. He is not among the five people allegedly connected to the gun thefts whose identities are being sought by Seattle police through subpoenas of video taken that afternoon by news photographers and other journalists. The legality of those subpoenas is being challenged by a consortium of local media outlets, including The Seattle Times.

‘All I heard was gunshots’: Neighbors, investigators provide details about officers’ fatal shooting of Portland homicide suspect

OLYMPIA — For much of Thursday, a fugitive task force led by U.S. marshals surveilled a brick-face apartment building in a suburban neighborhood in Thurston County.
Shortly before 7 p.m., Michael Forest Reinoehl, a 48-year Oregon man suspected of killing a pro-Trump protester in Portland on Saturday, left the building and got into a silver Volkswagen station wagon. Four law enforcement officials unleashed gunfire soon after that took his life. “He made it to the car and started it up and attempted to leave,” Thurston County Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Brady said Friday, as more details emerged about the shooting near Lacey. “As he did, [task force officers] pulled in and attempted to box in the vehicle.” While Reinoehl was still in the car, officers fired into the vehicle, and they fired more shots after he got out. He died at the scene, Brady said. Reinoehl was a veteran of Portland summer protests who once described himself as “100% ANTIFA,” or antifascist. He was a suspect in the Aug. 29 fatal shooting of a supporter of the right-wing Patriot Prayer group, Aaron “Jay” Danielson, on a downtown block in that city, where supporters of President Donald Trump — who arrived in a motor caravan — and other protesters had clashed. On Thursday, law enforcement obtained a court-authorized warrant for Reinoehl’s arrest. The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office filed a “charging instrument” accusing him of “murder in the second degree with a firearm,” according to a statement and documents released Friday. The state was “prepared to prove that Reinoehl unlawfully and intentionally, using a firearm, caused the death of Mr. Danielson,” according to the statement from the district attorney’s office. The effort to apprehend Reinoehl, which involved the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI and state and local law enforcement, came just as Trump is pushing a law-and-order theme in his reelection campaign.

And Reinoehl’s death was noted Friday by U.S. Attorney General William Barr, who in a statement called him a “violent agitator” and a “suspected murderer.”…In the Pacific Northwest, the deaths of Danielson and Reinoehl escalate tensions after a long summer of protests spurred by the May 25 death of George Floyd under a police officer’s knee in Minneapolis, as well as right-wing rallies. In Portland, the police, at this difficult moment in the city’s history, will receive assistance from the Oregon State Police, which have been deputized by the federal government. This could lead to federal prosecution for some protesters who are arrested. Labor Day weekend events expected in the city include a rally and march scheduled Saturday to mark the 100th day of protests against police violence and racial injustice. Then on Monday, Trump supporters are expected to organize another rally, and there could be more clashes with protesters. Danielson died on Portland’s Third Avenue Southwest from a single shot to the chest. He wore a Patriot Prayer cap and his friend, Chandler Pappas, who was there at the time, alleged that he and Danielson were “hunted down.” Reinoehl, in an interview that aired on Vice News Thursday evening, said he feared for his life and that the killing of Danielson was justified. Reinoehl was named earlier this week by The Oregonian as a suspect as well as in social media posts, and his family received death threats. “In our last conversation Mike talked constantly about wanting his children to be safe if something were to happen to him,” wrote Tiffanie Wickwire, a friend, in a Facebook post that noted his children were also being targeted. “Our last words to each other was telling each other to stay safe!!” A protester told The Seattle Times Reinoehl sometimes acted as a scout who watched out for those who might want to harm protesters. Some photos and videos taken during the protests show him wearing a white vest and other clothing similar to that worn by the tall, thin man seen on a video of Saturday’s fatal shooting. Reinoehl was committed to the Black Lives Matter movement, which he described in a June 8 Instagram post as a “revolution” with a need for people who are “willing and ready to fight.” Reinoehl, in an interview this summer with Bloomberg QuickTake News, said he sometimes brought his daughter to the protests as a form of education and described how he had been “working security” during the protests and wrestled a gun away from another man threatening some young Black protesters. Evening gunfire in Lacey. The fugitive task force located Reinoehl in the apartment complex in the Lacey area, a couple of blocks off a main thoroughfare. Residents described it as mostly quiet and a neighborhood where children play outside, outdoor birthdays are held and residents decorate for the holidays.
