Saudi national charged in fatal hit-and-run believed to have fled to Saudi Arabia

When a Saudi national kills a 15-year-old infidel girl from Oregon in a hit-and-run, it appears his Saudi government will help with his getaway.

Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah, the Saudi national in question, was arrested in August 2016 and indicted for first-degree manslaughter, hit-and-run, reckless endangerment and reckless driving after allegedly killing Fallon Smart in Portland.

He was required by the court to wear a monitoring device.

The consulate of Saudi Arabia posted Noorah's $100,000 bond on September 11, 2016, according to court documents, and in early June 2017, he removed his monitoring device and vanished.

Initially, his whereabouts were unknown but then U.S. officials learned from the Saudi government that he returned to the Kingdom,The Oregonian reported Sunday.

U.S. Marshal Eric Wahlstrom told The Oregonian "We're doing everything we can to get him back." But the U.S. doesn't have an extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia, only an oil business arrangement.

Noorah was a student in Portland since 2014 and received a little over $1,800-a-month as a stipend from the Saudi government for living expenses, according to the newspaper. He is from Jeddah and was housed by a host mother.

After the deadly accident, Noorah was jailed on $1 million bail. Under Oregon law, a defendant must post a minimum of 10 percent of the bail to be released. The consulate reportedly shelled out the $100,000 possibly from the oil money the Kingdom gets from us.

Noorah was then placed into the supervision of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and returned to the Portland house where he had been living, and was allowed to continue going to classes at Portland Community College while his case proceeded, but was initially placed under house arrest.

On June 10, he was allowed to study on campus after receiving permission from his release supervisor. But later that afternoon, he was picked up in a black GMC Yukon XL and had his monitoring bracelet cut.

It wasn’t until the next evening his naive release supervisor discovered he was gone. Investigators later discovered a bag packed at the home.

After the U.S. launched an international manhunt for Noorah, the Saudi government reached out to the Department of Homeland Security in July and admitted to officials that Noorah returned to Saudi Arabia on June 17.

Federal officials believe Noorah was given a passport with a different identity to help him get out of the U.S., according to The Oregonian.

This is a Kingdom that does what it wants regardless of the nation's laws in which they do it. They even kill people in their overseas embassies.

Saudi Arabia has, on several occasions, paid bail for its nationals who've been charged with crimes – including a man accused of rape in Utah in 2015. He also fled and was subsequently convicted.

They also posted bond for a Missouri resident in 2013 who was accused but later acquitted of murdering a bar owner. That same year the government put up $5 million bail for a Saudi princess charged with human trafficking in California, yet those charges, too, were dropped for reasons that are murky.

Businesses leaving progressive, dangerous Portland

Portland, Oregon -- Columbia Sportswear is considering closing its downtown office in the Democratic-led town after multiple encounters of the homeless person kind have threatened their employees and caused other problems.

There have been car break-ins, human feces deposited by the doorsteps of the business, direct threats to employees and garbage strewn about.

The Oregonian had an op-ed piece this month in which Tim Boyle, Columbia Sportswear President and CEO, voiced his concerns over these conditions and questioned whether he made a mistake opening a headquarters for the company's Sorel footwear brand downtown. He called the situation "outrageous and unacceptable."

"In fact, I am so concerned about the safety of our employees at the Sorel headquarters that we are taking the next 90 days to re-evaluate our location decision," Boyle wrote.


After moving 50 employees downtown, they immediately reported being threatened and harassed by homeless people near the new location. 

Boyle wrote, "A few days ago, one of our employees had to run into traffic when a stranger outside our office followed her and threatened to kill her. On other occasions our employees have arrived at work only to be menaced by individuals camping in the doorway."

There have also been so many employee car break-ins, the company began to refer to parking downtown as its "laptop donor program."

What a yuk!

"Given these experiences, it is a relief when the only thing we are dealing with is the garbage and human waste by our front door. Think about that for a minute," Boyle wrote.

Other businesses, such as Judith Arnell Jewelers, has decided to close up shop after concerns of panhandling and safety of Arnell's employees and clients became too much.

"It's very difficult to do business here right now. Our customers are afraid to come in," Ms. Arnell said. She had been in business there for over 20 years, but the large decrease in sales due to the homeless population has sent her packing.

Anne Bocci, a boutique owner in the Pearl District was threatened by a man when she confronted him as he stole clothing from an outside rack.

"Everybody saw it and everybody called the police," she told Fox12. But she said the man came back later and threatened her life once more.

Boyle met with Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, a progressive Democrat, with whom Boyle is a "big fan." 

A representative of Wheeler's office said the mayor is "dedicated to improving public safety," as attested to by the huge rise in homelessness and lack of public safety.

I suspect he condemns the current problem in the strongest possible terms.

"As we prepare for the holiday shopping season, the Mayor is dedicated to improving public safety in the downtown business district," the statement read. "People from around the region and beyond come Downtown for a great retail, culinary and cultural experience [if they can get past the odor emanating from the human excrement dumped liberally in doorways]. We are working with our partners in the business community to provide visitors a great experience this holiday season."

So consumers, don't shop online or cook at home . . .  come on down! It's worth the risk.

And don't forget--vote Democrat and never show 'em you're scared.
