Classy folks down at Occupy Portland:

From a simple Google search

In 1996, Soldani was convicted for driving under the influence after crashing his car through the yards of three houses. He served 2 days in jail.

In February 2000, Soldani was cited for driving under the influence. In March, he was cited again and his license was revoked.

On June 24, 2000, Soldani, driving drunk and without a license, hit a runner, Buffalo Zobel. Zobel had been training in an attempt to run the 26 mile marathon in under four hours, a prodigious athletic feat.

The crash broke both of Zobel's legs, fractured a bone in his back, separated a shoulder and left him with severe facial injuries. The driver, Soldani, fled, but was apprehended with pieces of Zobel's hair and skin embedded in the windshield of the car.

In January 2000, Soldani was convicted of second-degree assault and other charges and sentenced to 8 years and four months in prison.

Now, I understand that the man served his sentence and we should not judge him based on his past transgressions, but between this, the guy that registered as a sex offender, and the 24 year old married to the over 50 guy profiled in the Willamette Week, the Occupy folks have PR problem because whatever message they want to send and whoever they want to send it to (and I'm not real clear on either of those), just gets overshadowed by this sort of silliness.

The city likely won't do anything until the sexual assaults start becoming more frequent.
