Gunfire on Saturday night at a Portland, Ore., park where people had reportedly assembled to protest the officer-involved shooting of Amir Locke has allegedly claimed the life of one woman and wounded five others.
The incident occurred at about 8 p.m. at Normandale Park in the northeast part of the crime-ridden city around the time the march was set to begin. “The shooting took place near a park in Portland that has been the staging ground for a number of protests against police killings in recent years,” the New York Times recalled.
According to the Portland Police Bureau, “When officers arrived they located a female victim who was deceased. Additional shooting victims, two men and three women, were transported to area hospitals and their status is unknown at this time…Additional information will be released at the direction of investigators.”
Two suspects are reportedly in custody, and the investigation is ongoing. As part of a longer thread, tireless independent journalist Andy Ngo posted this video clip to Twitter:

Portland FM station KXL separately claimed that “Reports are that a neighbor in the area confronted the group about blocking traffic when the gunshots were exchanged.”

Earlier this week, Portland CBS affiliate KOIN indicated that “Gun violence continues to plague Portland after it escalated to record highs in 2021,” which included six shootings between Thursday night and Friday morning. “Authorities recently told KOIN 6 News the first month of 2022 outpaced January 2021, already setting a dark precedent for the year.”
Last year, a record-setting 90 murders occurred in the Democrat-controlled city that sought to partly defund the police before reality caused officials to reverse course.
Rep. Cammack told 'Campus Reform' that the American Dream is alive and well for today's college students.
She advised students to pursue college with an open mind toward careers that point toward essential careers.
Update. Natomas Unified Taking Steps To Fire Teacher. Just the other day we showed where this teacher was caught bragging about his Antifa ties and socialist indoctrination of our youth.Well the school board is taking action. This needs to happen more often. Sacramento is a good place to start and weed out those poisoning our youth.
The Natomas Unified School District said it is taking steps to fire the teacher placed on paid leave after allegedly being caught on video claiming he keeps an Antifa flag in his classroom and encourages students to go to protests.
The district said it is taking the legally required next steps to place the teacher on unpaid leave and remove him from the staff.
Right-wing organization Project Veritas filmed and edited the video they say shows Inderkum High School government teacher Gabriel Gipe having a controversial conversation off-campus.
“I have 180 days to turn them into revolutionaries,” Gipe allegedly said in the video, and later continued, “I have an Antifa flag on my wall. A student complained about that and said it made them feel uncomfortable. Well, it’s meant to make fascists feel uncomfortable, I don’t know what to tell you.”
The district said the evidence gathered so far shows the “teacher violated the district’s political action guidelines.” All signage and posters have reportedly been removed from the classroom and the district said it believes the best course to rebuild the learning environment is a fresh start.
“There is no excuse for communism on American soil,” explained Natomas resident, David Aria. “The principal, the vice principal and the board has to go.”
Frustrated families flooding Wednesdays Natomas school board meeting looking for immediate action. Angry parents in the dozens are concerned with what their students are being taught.
“Not only does his termination need to be taken effective immediately but I believe a criminal investigation needs to happen,” said one parent during public comment.
“This does not begin and end with him. He was enabled for years. Complaints were filed and nothing was done,” said parent, Richard Gilbert.
Parents like Monique Hokman calling for a full investigation into the teacher and district and changes in policy. Parents are also concerned with claims made by Gipe that he is not the only teacher that is teaching his viewpoints inside the classroom.
“I have a problem with people teaching our kids things without our knowledge,” said Hokman. “The one teacher is not just the problem, we would like to see some steps that are going to protect all our children now and all the ones that are coming up in the future.”
The classroom controversy stopped abruptly in the middle of public comment. A lawyer representing the district said the meeting was stopped because of lack of decorum and would be rescheduled for a later date.
Board members left the meeting out of the back side of the building. The boards actions prompted some in the meeting to run after them and leaving parents still looking for action.
“It really comes down to accountability, who is monitoring the classrooms,” questioned one parent.
Gipe allegedly also purchased rubber stamps depicting Josef Stalin, Fidel Castro and Kim Jung Un, among others, with insensitive phrases. The district said it found Gipe had used those stamps to mark student work on at least 13 different days.
Around 100 people attended a school board meeting Wednesday evening to protest and for public comment.
Parents called for a full investigation and for Gipe to be fired. They also called for a change in district policy to prevent this from happening again.
A mother and her kids took the stage during an Antifa press conference Friday in Portland.
“People attacked me and my family,” she said. “And it is not the Proud Boys — it is you… My black children were almost hit with bombs.”
“If black lives matter, you better back up!”

The woman is angry in part because her family was assaulted two weeks ago when antifa threw firework explosives at a group of Christians having a worship event in Portland. Antifa then pepper sprayed them, including the children. pic.twitter.com/67qgTGFv27
On 20 Aug., 2021, a black woman crashed a Portland press conference organized by several antifa-allied groups (e.g., Don’t Shoot Portland, Oregon Justice Resource Center, United Mutual Aid Network, etc.) ahead of a riot announced by antifa for 22 Aug., 2021.
The attack on Evangelical Christian worshippers on the Portland waterfront was ignored by the local press. Video recorded by “The Black Conservative Preacher.”
Antifa and BLM Biden supporters who rioted are not being charged. Why? In January you had folks who trespassed and caused minor property damage. All are being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But two well noted hate groups riot, loot, assault, and even kill folks, and they’re not charged. Again why?
Between May 25 and Oct. 7, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon filed federal charges against 97 people connected to the Portland unrest. Since then 58 of those cases have either been dismissed outright or are on track for dismissal through a deferred resolution agreement. Thirty-two cases are still pending, with many likely to also end in dismissal according to sources. Seven people have entered guilty pleas.
Biden Supporters show their true colors. Attack a lady wearing a T-Shirt with a picture of the American flag and George Washington. How disgusting. Only from the Biden Alt Left do we see things like this. Fact Check.
Joe Biden countered criticism that he’s been soft on aggressive protesters, arguing he’s disavowed antifa while President Trump hasn’t distanced himself for its far-right counterparts.
Back in 2017 President Trump has condemed the hate groups from the right. But to this day Joe refuses to recognize that this has been done. Why is that Joe?
The 2020 Democratic presidential nominee and two-term vice president was asked whether he denounced antifa, a left-wing protest movement that says it opposes fascism but that critics say is actually an effort to foment violence.
“Yes, I do — violence, no matter who it is,” he told Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based NBC affiliate WGAL on Sunday.
Now America is waiting to see if he will also condemn BLM, A VERY LARGE PORTION OF HIS BASE.
