Portland DA Nathan Vasquez Declares Zero Tolerance for Criminal Protesters

#portland #zerotolerance #protestviolence

Portland’s new District Attorney, Nathan Vasquez, has taken a bold stance against protest violence, declaring a zero-tolerance policy for criminal acts. During a press conference, Vasquez praised Portland Police and Oregon State Police for their swift response to recent violent actions, including an Antifa demonstration that escalated into vandalism and property destruction.

"If you break the law, I’m going to seek to hold you accountable. End of story," Vasquez announced, signaling a major shift from the policies of his predecessor, Mike Schmidt, who had opted not to prosecute many protesters. Vasquez emphasized that all crimes, regardless of political affiliation, will be prosecuted, and vowed to restore law and order to Portland while protecting individuals' rights to free speech.

Vasquez also addressed the negative impact of unchecked criminal behavior on Portland’s community, citing smashed windows, graffiti, and fires as examples of how such actions harm the city’s beauty and livability. He pledged to work closely with law enforcement to ensure accountability, adding, "When we allow that criminal behavior, it detracts from people's ability to exercise free speech and from the city's overall well-being."

This marks a turning point for Portland, where Vasquez's leadership promises to prioritize public safety, restore trust in law enforcement, and uphold the rule of law.
