A person who seeks vengeance for vengeance breaks the code of "eye for an eye". The initial infraction results in punishment; seeking revenge on the just punisher is a new infraction in addition to being highly unethical.
That's what I said. The attacker attempted to blind the cop, therefore the just punishment is that the cop gets to try to blind the attacker. It is highly unethical for anyone to further retaliate against the cop.
That's a really horrid thing to do and he had to understand what he was doing before hand. So premeditated and it's a war crime! Typical behavior for a Stalin style communist.
If this does not rate federal terrorism charges then those laws need to be rewritten.
The US Marshall’s deputized the Portland PD. So now they are arrested under federal prosecution bypassing the local jurisdiction. 4D move by trump to stop these riots
In Oregon, Class B felonies are punishable by as many as ten years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both.(Or. Rev. Stat. Ann. §§ 161.605, 161.625 (2019).)
About time. These are not your ordinary, everyday laser pointers. These high-power lasers can burn through paper and scorch wood. Imagine what they can do to your eyes.
The kind of lasers that comes plastered with warnings to never use them without proper eye protection because they will cause instant permanent blindness just from reflections.
And eye protection from lasers is very specific to the freq they operate in so there is not just some magical glasses you can wear. They are specific to the nanometer wavelength of that specific laser not other lasers
It's about time this was prosecuted. Intentionally blinding someone is a horrific crime. I would not be surprised if this weapon is banned in any updates of the Geneva Convention.
That's a good point. You could probably cross-reference videos near the federal court house, and find instances of him shining that same laser at the Feds.
At least one member of RRT realized that Mr. Kelley had repeatedly directed a laser into the RRT member's eyes, causing injury. Eventually, members of RRT were able to locate and arrest Mr. Kelley near Southwest 4th Avenue and Southwest Jefferson Street. He was found to be in possession of a laser (photo).
Detectives followed up on this case, and wrote search and arrest warrants, which were reviewed and signed by a judge. This morning, Portland Police Bureau detectives served those warrants and arrested Mr. Kelley
Sounds like they caught him on the same day, but these specific charges were filed later. My guess is that the Portland police were persistent in ensuring these charges were pursued, because otherwise they're putting their officers at severe risk for blindness.
Damn, I'm a little surprised to see them actually pursuing charges like this in Portland. I mean they absolutely should, but the leftist DAs seem to want to let everyone go.
If given a choice between $250k cash and having eyes that work, I'd pick working eyes any day. I would actually be okay with snipers executing persons who use lasers or throw molotovs, but it would be bad PR. I also have an idea for blinding people who shine lasers, but dare not post it publicly.
I hope he's put a way for a very long time. BTW, if you didn't click the link, there's a video of that laser burning a hole in paper.
These guys are idiots. You don't use visible spectrum lasers if you want to get away with it. Infrared or UV are invisible to the human eye and most cameras. They can still fry your eyes or optical sensor in an instant though if hit by a high enough power.
Throw the book at him with the force of Thors hammer.
What a psycho does this kind of shit? Maximum penalty! He needs lots of time to think about his dispicable actions.
As soon as you see "his bail is" you know the rest of the sentence doesn't matter. he'll be right back on the streets and you know he ain't the one who paid bail.
How about we just blind him with his own laser? That'd be fair, right?
Imagine going straight from your mother's basement, to jail.
Hammurabi lives!

He tried to blind the cop, now the cop gets to try to blind him. What's unfair?

This is nonsense.
It was the law for thousands of years, and, yet, curiously, back then the whole world was NOT blind.
I'd get behind punishments like this. There was a reason theft wasn't common when they cut your hands off for it.
Fair yes, 8th Amendment lawsuit against the police/courts and this guy becomes a millionaire on the backs of the tax payers.
They need to fry his ass. A laser like that can blind from a considerable distance faster than you can blink.
Dude, what the fuck. That is insane.
What kind of psychopath wants to blind another human being over nothing
Retardifa.
This is what happens when you convince a moron that wealth inequality is violence
That's a really horrid thing to do and he had to understand what he was doing before hand. So premeditated and it's a war crime! Typical behavior for a Stalin style communist.

Just an FYI directed energy weapons are against the Geneva Convention, so he literally committed a war crime
There are a couple of threads on /pol that might interest you my friend.
They are saying they have footage of a DEW being used in California to help kindle the wild fires.
I'm sure it's completely BS but the webm I saw looked pretty cool.
The Geneva Convention doesn't cover Civil War. Only declared wars between signatories.
Uniformed combatants is the language, or close to it, iirc.
Put him in the cell with the guy that wants to kill white men.
I like this but only if we give him the laser back first.
Poetically, that really should be his only means of defense.
Call it Thunderdome 2020 and stream it live.
We may be sitting on a gold mine here people.
it may seem funny but when fights devolve like this would we are talking about scratching and biting and screaming.
I have a feeling Portland is going to start calming down now that the DA can’t stop them from being prosecuted.
Why is that?
The US Marshall’s deputized the Portland PD. So now they are arrested under federal prosecution bypassing the local jurisdiction. 4D move by trump to stop these riots
Didn't they deputize the Oregon State Patrol?
Maybe you are right
Definitely oregon state pd
That's what I thought I had read. Thanks for confirming that is the case here.
Have fun fuckwad.
It'll get plead down as much as they can get away with.
The fact you can assault a police officer and then get bail is truly beyond me...

Nice eyes. Need some lasering.
Good. FUCK that guy.
Revoke his bail, set his pre trial hearing for 2037
Portland Police? DA will let him go...
I'd just like to point out that if multiply his bail by 8, it equals the bail of Kenosha Kyle.
Feds should step in and charge him with a war crime.
That's a good point. You could probably cross-reference videos near the federal court house, and find instances of him shining that same laser at the Feds.
Let me guess - public school teacher?
Well he isn't bright enough for us to trust with a garbage truck. That leaves barista or public school teacher
POS
“Got to do a quick eye check for booking Mr. Kelley. Go ahead and look into these for me please. ZAP, Gotcha bitch!”
A 36 year old man that spends his time doing this must be a real loser.
Matthew Perry really did hit bottom this time
How did they know it was him? Did it take a month to track him down? Pretty impressive.

Lasers point both ways?
Blind him and put him on an island full of scattered rabbit shit and dry dog food.
Very sick people put pricetags on the eyes of cops in the form of bailout money.

Good
This asshole should get life in prison. Blinding somone is one of the most horrific crimes. Fuck him and rot you commie.
Terrorist.
He needs a harsh punishment to send a clear message this is NOT ok behavior
huh, guess that shit wasn’t worth it.
His parents spelled Brian with a Y. Heathens.
They should just fire back an infared laser at these lowlifes with the lasers, they wouldn't even know what hit them.

Death penalty.

Unreal. Meanwhile a corrupt judge put a $2,000,000 bail on Kyle.
This guy can bond out with $25,000. Kyle needs to pay the full $2,000,000.
Yeah but most of the night he wasn’t blinding people with lasers.
and he’s out....
It's a war crime to. He can be brought to the Hague after he served his local time.
36 years old...
What a loser.
Oh noooooo secret police snatching ppl off the streets oh noooo
He's going to see how much his life matters to the blacks in prison.
