More than a year and a half after the Black Lives Matter riots in Portland, Oregon, an Indianapolis man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to 14 felony charges that included attempted murder.
On Tuesday, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt released a statement regarding the grand jury sentencing of 25-year-old Malik Muhammed. That statement explained the actions taken by Muhammed on four separate dates in question that led to the numerous felony charges.
“In the late summer of 2020, Muhammed traveled to Portland, Oregon with the intent to violently engage in area protests,” Schmidt’s statement read. “His criminal activity spanned September and October of 2020 and included four separate criminal incidents.”
“On September 5, 2020, Muhammed constructed multiple Molotov cocktails. He then brought those explosive devices, along with baseball bats, to a planned protest event that evening at the East Portland Police Precinct Building,” he went on.
An update on this infamous 2020 scene from Portland in which a Molotov cocktail set this protester's feet on fire:

“During the event, Muhammed handed out the bats and threw multiple explosive devices in the direction of police officers. One of those devices landed short and caused a fiery explosion which engulfed a fellow protester in flames,” Schmidt explained, “causing sever injuries to that person’s legs.”
For that date, Muhammed was charged with Assault in the Second Degree, Unlawful Manufacture and Unlawful Possession of a Destructive Device and Riot. On September 21 and 23 he received charges of Attempted Murder 2 and Riot for throwing Molotov cocktails at police.
The explosive device from the September 21 protest at the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Penumbra Kelly Building failed to detonate and was used as evidence to aid in the investigation to identify Muhammed. The September 23 protest occurred at the Multnomah Country Justice Center and Portland Police Central Precinct.
Schmidt explained that “During the event, a separate protester set the building on fire (See State v. Cyan Bass) and police moved into the area to extinguish the fire. When police advanced, Muhammed threw a Molotov cocktail at the police officers…narrowly missed multiple officers and caught the clothing of one of the officers on fire.”

Lastly, Muhammed was charged with four counts of Criminal Mischief in the First Degree, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and his fourth Riot charge for his actions at an October 11 protest near Directors Park in downtown Portland.
“During this event, Muhammed used a baton to smash the windows of the Oregon Historical Society, Portland State University, and multiple other businesses in the downtown Portland area,” the statement explained. Muhammed attempted to hide a loaded firearm during the arrest.
The convicted felon is now expected to pay $200,000 in restitution in addition to his decade long sentence. According to The Oregonian, Muhammed had been indicted on 28 charges in June 2021 and the Portland Freedom Fund had posted $212,500 of his $2.1 million bail. However, he was arrested two days later on federal charges and he remained in jail until his sentencing Tuesday.
Malik Muhammad’s bail was set at $2.1m, which was covered by far-left group @PortlandFreedom.@DefensefundPDX sent him money each month when he was rearrested on federal charges. #Antifa held rallies in support of him & supported his plans to kill people. https://t.co/oTipPgyZ3b pic.twitter.com/zPKiO5j0GY

Journalist Andy Ngo relayed how Muhammed continued to be funded throughout his term in jail and indicated how this directly supported “his plans to kill people.” As the Oregonian reported, social media posts by Muhammed included captions like, “Kill cops. Shoot back. We say no justice no peace we mean NO PEACE.”

How is it that a conservative news reel like BPR continues to use Twitter as a means to show videos of events. There are other conservative feeds that can be used to provide footage instead of left wing feeds like Twitter? C’mon are you ” woke ” too?
Ten years is only a slap considering he tried to kill several people and will only serve a partial sentence after his good time is credited. How does the Defense Fund justify bailing people charged with attempted murder and fire bombing with serious injuries? Someone needs to look into who his funding them..
10 years is a slap on the wrist for attempted murder and for the violence and injuries that this career criminal caused. And why was this attempted murderer allowed to post bail while the January 6 protesters who have been held for over a year, not allowed to be out on bail for trespassing on public property? Because they’re not black? And why is the bail bondsman not held accountable for this career criminal Black Lives Marxist lawlessness while out on bail?
The Republican congress is going to have its hands full next year if they mean what they say about restoring law and order and equal justice.
“Because they’re not black?” NO, because they are not part of the communist, brown shirt brigade!
YO NANCY. … THIS is insurrection! THIS is sedition!!
Libs think this is great. Of course, libs are filthy human beings, so…
just another black dude that thinks he is above the law.
He’s a terrorist who should be deported back to the country he came from.
When he is in the prison shower I hope he drops the soap dish !

But, yet, the truly peaceful protesters at the Capitol on Jan 6 are still in jail, with no charges filed after 1 1/2 years. Yeah, they are the bad guys, but the rioters in the pictures here are okay? Let’s go Brandon. FJB
ten yrs solitaire , done deal .
That’s what He should have got .
Malik Muhammed’s sentence should have been a lead lobotomy.
He needs to be executed.
What a surprise! I didn’t thing anyone was ever arrested or tried for any crime in Portland.
Should have gotten life.
10 yrs simply not enough. Jan 6 peaceful protestors in line for that and more, this guy is a waste of space.
I do not like the new plus minus buttons. The plus never seems to work! Who do we notify?🤨
This ENTIRE “new format” is REDICULOUS! It was fine the way it was with posters being able to reply and have back and forth conversations ! Now there are posts that can be replied to but for the most part there is NO reply function. THEN there all this signing in to post. WHO thought this new system was a good idea ???
Someone who thought this would be nice, when something is working Great why Change It ?
I suspect that someone in the BPR management considers allowing comments to be a nuisance. They really don’t want their reader’s comments.
A Lot of us Don’t
Hope he dies in prison – horribly.
No, he only had a 10 year sentence. He’ll be hailed as a political prisoner, and he will have the admiration of the other inmates for his attempts to kill cops.
While he is bended over
He’ll be on the street within five years, and will use his enhanced street creds to organize new hate groups.
Pardon me if I dont feel sorry for him or the protestor. Ill bet the protestor wont be running towards any other protest. Then again they are slow learners.
