Latest event at Portland's 'red house' generates nearly 2 dozen 911 calls
|
 [OREGONLIVE] The North Portland property where police and protesters engaged in a tense standoff late last year was the site of a large party Tuesday that spilled into the surrounding neighborhood and prompted nearly two dozen 911 calls.The party at the so-called "red house" was advertised on Instagram, featured live music and drew between 100 and 150 people, according to neighbors who say they worry the site will continue to be the source of nuisance complaints as warmer weather approaches. The property is located at 4406 N. Mississippi Ave.
One neighbor, Dylan Kruse, said he called 911 to report trespassing on his property and later spoke with a police officer about the assault of a woman associated with the party. Kruse said he heard the woman screaming. Kruse said the officer told him that police would not "insert officers into the situation."
Kruse said his fence was tagged with an anti-police message overnight.
The red house and adjacent empty lot remain largely unchanged since becoming a flashpoint for protesters late last year after authorities arrived to evict people from the home, though a makeshift stage for performers appears to have been added. Signs around the mostly boarded up house say, "Land back," "Protest the red house" and "Indigenous solidarity for black liberation."
A Moroccan flag still flies in front of the house, a nod to the Moorish sovereign beliefs of William Kinney, who goes by William X. Nietzche. The home previously belonged to Kinney’s parents, who lost the property through foreclosure. Kinney embraces the sovereign citizen movement, a fringe belief system whose adherents profess they are above the law.
| It’s more than that, actually. The Moorish Sovereign Citizens movement, also known as the Indigenous Moors, have the queer idea that they are the native people of North America and therefore entitled to ignore the laws and retake title to any property that catches their eye, which they’ve done with distressing regularity since the 1990s. Both the Indigenous Moors and the Nation of Islam split off from the Moorish Science Temple movement.... |
Meanwhile,
...back at the laboratory the smoke and fumes had dispersed, to reveal an ominous sight...
talks about both properties appear to have stalled. Libra Forde, chief operating officer at Self Enhancement Inc., a prominent nonprofit that has long served the area’s Black youths and families, said her organization remains interested in acquiring the empty lot, but the review process continues.
