On Sunday, police arrested a man who confessed to starting a brush fire with a Molotov cocktail in Portland. They booked him in Multnomah County Jail. Portland being Portland, the authorities released the suspect that evening. The man then went on to start six more fires before the police arrested him yet again. The cops took him to a hospital for a mental evaluation.
“On Sunday, September 13, 2020 at 4:35p.m., East Precinct officers were dispatched to assist Portland Fire and Rescue with a brush fire in the 9600 block of East Burnside Street,” the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) reported. “Officers saw that a section of grass along the I-205 freeway was burning. Firefighters extinguished the fire. No one was injured and no structures were damaged.”
A witness identified a suspect in a nearby tent and “officers arrested the suspect, who confirmed he lit the fire with the device,” a Molotov cocktail.
Officers booked 45-year-old Domingo Lopez Jr. into jail on charges of Reckless Burning and Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree. “Arson investigators are also doing a follow-up to see if other charges are warranted.”

The story did not end there, however. Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt has notoriously taken the side of violent antifa rioters against the police they attack, and he announced that his office would not prosecute many riot-related crimes, even when some of those crimes endanger the lives of police officers. Perhaps that attitude helps explain why Domingo Lopez Jr. left jail on Sunday evening. Apparently, the suspect had enough time on his hands to set a whopping six more fires before the police again detained him.

The above info is wrong Sorry
Let’s face it, those officials were aiding and abetting the enemy.
Turning the Blue States Red one fire at a time....
*************
Insightful observation that just might prove to be true in some blue states in November. Even one or two flips could be crucial.
Yet another judge who has his/her head in a very dark, warm, stinky place. How embarrassing to our “justice” system.
This is from last month.
There was a discussion today with county managers saying cans of gas and chainsaws were found.
An attempt to “collapse the system” when Trump wins again.
Why should they? The DA is on their side and helping them avoid jail.
Euthanize it
>>So you condone arson and terrorism. You’d likely murder 10 million conservatives living in blue state California too.<<
I guess hyperbole is lost on you.
Portland as a city is almost as evil as Ithaca. But, just as in CA, MA and even Ithaca there are some conservatives. I know that. But I shed no tears when it burns itself down.
Won’t happen. That is like saying Christians will reject their God and become Muslims when calamity strikes.
There’s a quote, attributed to Winston Churchill, mentioning appeasers,like the DA, is one that feeds the crocodile in the hope it eats him last..
The faster the crocodile gets to feeding on the DA,the faster Portlandia has of restoration to just weird, and not seditious.
As should be done with all liberals.
Yes, because he MUST be mentally unstable, not a criminal.
Oregon is a lost cause, they still are going to vote Democrat.
True!
This is where I start to favor martial law, arsonists put down.
And shooting him is far more merciful than handcuffing him to a tree, so he could face the agony of humans and creatures caught in these fires.
WTH were cops or judge thinking to release an atsonist.
Of course he was released, he had mission he was ordered to complete.
I said this on another thread and I seriously believe it.
If the intentional setting of these fires promotes the theory of global warming/climate change then the damage, suffering and even deaths are justified.
I really believe some leftists are OK with it to push their agenda.
When someone is seen throwing a firebomb that person must be neutralized on the spot. The left doesn’t want that, and so it is responsible for all the firebombings that happen after that.
Send the DA and the judge each the bill for damages to date.
Then arrest and imprison. Accessories to the crime - before, during. and after. Providing material support to terrorists.
So now they’ll release him again and blame President Trump. Maybe they’ll pay the guy since he worked so hard.
