22 rioters facing federal charges in Portland's 'mostly peaceful protests'

Twenty-two additional rioters have been busted and charged over their alleged violence in Portland protests, federal prosecutors said Monday.

The charges of criminal conduct were tied to the "mostly peaceful protests" of symbolic fire-setting to honor the memory of George Floyd, object-chucking to show disapproval of 'the system', laser-firing with intent to blind federal officers to demonstrate disapproval of systemic racism', and defacing federal property outside the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse because that's where the law thing happens.

The incidents occurred between July 23 and early on July 28, U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams said.

The excuse for protests began after the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and “have been followed by nightly criminal activity including assaults on law enforcement officers, destruction of property, looting, arson and vandalism,” Williams' statement read.

Two of the protesters, a man and a woman in their 30s, are accused of "protesting violence" by assaulting federal officers during a demonstration that started Thursday night and lasted into Friday morning.

Four others, including an 18-year-old quasi-man, are charged with failing to obey lawful orders at the same protest.

Ronald Bernard Hickey, a 44-year-old from Canada, eh, and a world-renown neck-sucker, was charged Friday for allegedly harassing and stalking federal agents sent to Portland in response to the protests.

Prosecutors allege the Canadian released the personal information of the agents on his Twitter account in order to threaten, intimidate or incite violence against them. He is hoping that he will not be deported to Canada with winter not that far down the road.

At a protest overnight Saturday, seven anarchist scumwafers were arrested for allegedly assaulting federal officers and one slime bucket was charged with operating a drone in restricted airspace.

On the following night, seven more rioters were arrested and accused of assault on federal officers.

Federal prosecutors have announced charges against at least 27 additional rioters in connection with the protests since the beginning of July.

It seems to make sense that if a rioter is threatening to, or causing bodily harm on law enforcement officers, they should have the absolute legal right to react with an equal or greater response for self-protection.

Also, it seems to make sense that if those officials on the left deny the level of violence that is taking place every day at these riots, they should be deputized and put alongside the agents sent to quell the "mostly peaceful" protests and report back to the mainstream media after they change their underwear.

Oregon judge being investigated after helping illegal immigrant to escape ICE

Oregon -- Judge Monica Herranz is being investigated for allegedly aiding an illegal immigrant escape from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in January. The incident took place in her courthouse where she let the DWI suspect exit the building undetected from her own private entrance.

The incident occurred on January 27th, and if it can be shown that Herranz helped Diddier Pacheco, 22, escape from her Multnomah County courtroom where federal agents waited outside to deport him, she will be in serious trouble.

But it all depends on whether or not the case is brought before leftist lawmakers now that everything, including lawful decisions, have become politicized.

John Schlosser, the attorney for Pachenco, said he doesn't know how his client left the courtroom but acknowledged both he and Pachenco knew there were ICE agents inside the building who might have been there to arrest his client as they passed them as they made their way into the courtroom.

"I found my client, told him that I'd seen ICE agents outside, that I had no way to know if they were there for him or not, but it was possible," Schlosser said.

Herranz is under internal investigation and she is cooperating with the probe, which is expected to be completed within a week.

Pachenco's exit options were limited to three doors: one for the Sheriff's Department to bring inmates in and out of the building; another for the public; and the third for the judge and courtroom staff.

Billy J. Williams

It is a federal crime to "conceal, harbor or shield from detection" illegal immigrants. The U.S. Attorney in Portland elected not to prosecute after ICE officials told him they were against an investigation of the judge.

Instead, the Portland AG, Billy J. Williams, a Democrat, met with most of the county judges and told them that similar actions in the future would not be tolerated. Uh, okay.

Herranz is a board member of the Oregon Hispanic Bar Association and remains working in the Multnomah County courts, but there's a minute chance that she could face internal discipline once the so-called investigation is finished.

Wanna bet she gets a Richard Simmons-style slap on the wrist?

When judges use their political ideology to make decisions, because they believe theirs is the moral high ground, they are no longer law judges and should be removed from the bench. 

Herranz broke the law if she allowed Pachenco to escape the law.

Pachenco was subsequently caught by ICE agents outside the same courthouse two weeks later following another court hearing. He has been taken to an ICE detention facility in New Mexico where he awaits deportation.
