Alissa Azar on Nostr: Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos woke up to her car and home engulfed in flames ...

Portland City Councilor Candace Avalos woke up to her car and home engulfed in flames late last night. She had to grab her cat and escape to safety. In a statement, she said:

“Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further,” Avalos said in a statement. “The incident is under active investigation, including as a possible arson. I’ll share more information as it becomes available.”

Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a “member of Antifa.” On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence.
