That’s Lighting a Fire Under Them

GP –

A Portland Democrat who once called for homeless individuals to be given housing suffered an ironic and cruel twist of fate last week.

As The Oregonian reported, 51-year-old homeless man Vashon Locust was arrested on Tuesday after starting a fire that torched Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos’ townhome and car.

He faces charges of reckless burning, second-degree mischief, and trespassing. These are all misdemeanors.

According to a police affidavit obtained by the paper, Locust snuck into a shed near Avalos’ home on October 26 and attempted to use an electric outlet. More

  2. OH, well, a ‘democrat’ trying to show empathy for one of their ‘possible’ voters that gets charged with numerous ‘misdemeanors’, (one of which should have been a felony), will be coddled in the best of fashion in order to save face for both dip-shits.

  3. “Locust has been arrested more than 50 times for various felony and misdemeanor charges since 2006, according to court records…”

    To sum up:

    He has trouble with electrical outlets and is just not very good at burning things down. In this case, that’s a shame.

    LOL, there’s a reason he’s homeless, he’s stupid.

    “Avalos and her cat managed to escape the incident unharmed. ”

    Just one? Bull shit.
