Bands of armed Oregonians blocked roads and demanded identification from motorists after a small fire was ignited intentionally on Saturday, police said.
Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese said the blaze was started by an illegal firework and was put out quickly, according to a Saturday tweet from the department. Oregon has been plagued by wildfires in recent days, as 22 people on the West Coast have lost their lives and large portions of the state were covered by an orange hue, ABC News reported.
“We started receiving reports of local residents establishing roadblocks in East Multnomah County,” Reese said in the tweet.
“Deputies responded to reports some people were armed and asking for identification of the folks they stopped. We told people engaging in this behavior that roadways are open to all users, and their actions are illegal and they could be subject to citation or arrest.”

So much for trying to protect your environment.....
Gee, who might be using illegal fireworks. Of course the law abiding citizens are the ones the Sheriff wants to stop.
This is what can happen when law enforcement refuses to do their job, or worse — throws in with the mob.
Well, the “authorities” are turning the arsonists loose to light more fires, so the citizens have to protect themselves.
“Mostly Peaceful,” no doubt.
At first anyone daring to point the possibility of the BLM/Antifa thugs starting any fires, was immediately put down by most of the media mediots in Oregone/California.
Now, we are evolving to this point!

This is why you have law enforcement from the federal, state, and local levels get involved to stop the riots and fires that are going on. Nobody is doing their job and they don’t care.
But it was only a “small fire.”
HOORAY armed Americans! United We Stand? No, Armed We Stand. Disarmed We Fall.
Anyone who arms themselves to defend against the Mob must be White Nationalist Militia Vigilantes. Arrest them.
Dammed scabs on the police union, those dammed residents!
“...a small fire was ignited intentionally on Saturday, police said...”
The largest fires in the world have started from “small” fires....
Notice how the Sheriff didn’t deputize the people and ensure they had proper instructions for the stops. Since his deputies were required to be at the station to play cards, there were not enough deputies to patrol and protect against those “illegal fireworks” setting the countryside afire.
He parked a police car out front of my house all night long. I slept great and did not know it was so easy to get great service!
You can't make this sh!t up. This is in the same Oregon land where marxist BLMers get to shut down ANY road, highway, sidewalk or park they want, at ANY time of night or day, with complete impunity and zero fear of arrest.
This two-tier system of justice has to stop or the rule of law is completely and irrevocably dead.
Don’t arrest terrorists for burning the state down, but arrest John Q Citizen for trying to protect himself.
preventing or, almost as bad, quenching Burn Loot and Mayhem fires means you’re a PURP! (privileged uncaring racist pig)
