Someone just explained to me what demisexuality actually means and 25 years of my life flashed before my eyes. I could actually literally weep. I get it. It makes sense. How did I make it to this age and not know my own fucking identity.

And usually that help was food or shelter or transportation or money. But other times it was simply terrorizing people who made folks in our small community unsafe. She stood up and proved that there were consequences for hurting people. She showed the fuck up.

Some people are distressed by the idea that sometimes it’s necessary and good to terrify an abuser into not exploiting the power imbalance that allows them to victimize the vulnerable. I struggle to believe these people have any real experience confronting genuine threats.

We were unarmed traffic safety volunteers who weren’t with any protestors. Four women trying to de-escalate & he unloaded a 45 into us because he didn’t like being asked to leave and stop calling us terrorist c*nts. We were in high vis and dresses. He murdered a disabled woman.
A victim says a man approached her and a few other women and screamed that they were “terrorists” responsible for violence in the city
He yelled a misogynistic slur at them and said “If I see you come past my house, I’ll shoot you.”
Later, he shot them

My best friend and I walked out of the ER with 11 total bullet holes and multiple grazes. Walked out. Limped out I guess. How are we alive? Why are we alive? They just… sent us home. How do you just go home? I kept asking if this was real. Is it?

Demisexuality is not a prudish social preference rooted in purity culture!

TRex— 58 at the time— was arrested by PPB for giving water to someone they were harassing and detaining. 58 year old woman with a cane, handed someone a bottle of water. Cops saw the BLM sign on her car and decided it was time to teach her a lesson.

As much as y’all want this to be a fight between protestors and a local homeowner, it isn’t. It was an angry alt-right apartment-renting monster with a history of violence versus a traffic safety volunteer with a cane. And my GoPro proves it. Sorry this doesn’t fit your narrative

The rally was over a block away from us. It wasn’t even visible from our location. We were alone. We were a small group of women, alone. He saw us alone and he came for us. He didn’t go to the crowd. He came for us. This wasn’t a protestor altercation.

It was a 50-60 year old white man. The exchange lasted under two minutes. He came there to kill us, I am positive. He thought we were protestors.

Need to clarify this. The cops wouldn’t let EMTs approach because they “didn’t know the scene was secure.” But the shooter had long been tackled and disarmed. Me running at them covered in blood and screaming that they were letting us die convinced them I guess? I feel so broken.

Correction: immediately he shot us. 4 unarmed women who were not even with the protest and who were trained de-escalators. Including a 60 year old woman w a cane. We were alone, and he gunned us down. We’re traffic safety volunteers & the protest was on the other side of the park

I couldn’t wash off the blood until I got home and someone talked me into it. It’s all I had left of her. Holding my hands carefully apart for hours in the ER, terrified they would hand me some water with condensation on the bottle and it would start to wash off. Why. Why. Why.

Remember when Portlanders were called terrorists for throwing half-empty White Claws at cops comfortably nestled in wartime body armor while blanketing their city in tear gas, and then the OREGON CAPITOL was stormed by the alt-right and DHS was like “sorry we’re busy with Antifa”
A Senate investigation finds the Department of Homeland Security failed to predict the Jan. 6, 2021, violence at the U.S. Capitol in part because... they were too preoccupied with Portland: "everything relating to [Portland] was treated as being urgent."
