On the morning of Feb. 10, 2022, far-left extremists gathered for a direct action at Fields Park in the Pearl District of Portland, Ore. Secret video captured three militants getting out of a burgundy 2005 Saturn Ion with the Washington state license plate "AYV8117." The three gathered multiple rifles and put on body armor and face coverings.
The direct action was organized by Letha Winston, the mother of Patrick Kimmons, a black gang member who was shot and killed by Portland Police in 2018 after he shot two people. (More details about Winston and Kimmons can be read in my book, 'Unmasked'). Winston is herself an extremist, with many times giving speeches calling for deadly violence against police. [Watch:

The direct actions Winston organize have led to violence before. On May 6, 2021, an armed street protest by the same group marched through a residential area of north Portland, attacking civilians on the road. One driver had their windows smashed out and all the tires slashed. Another older driver was stopped on the road and had multiple guns aimed at him. They then mobbed him, assaulted him and stole his personal firearm. The man was hospitalized for his injuries. [Read about what happened to him:

The Portland Police are still seeking suspects involved in the attacks of that day. Please read their press release and look at the suspect photos:
