Wondering what happened to the man wielding a gun yesterday afternoon at Occupy Portland?
After being taken into custody for carrying a gun after engaging in a fight on the Occupy Portland grounds, 32-year-old Jason Charles Parker (a concealed handgun license holder) was released this morning from Multnomah County Jail.
According to the Portland Police Bureau officers, Parker was filming Occupy Portland happenings at Lownsdale Park when he was “verbally challenged” by several occupiers. This sparked a verbal argument between Parker and the occupiers where a racial slur was directed at Parker. Thus, the handgun was revealed.

You pull a gun because someone calls you the N-word? No permit for you, shithead.
Wouldn’t it be shocking if there were a few skinheads mixed in the crowd down there? I’d be shocked.
White people being assholes, black person arrested.
No Complaint–case dismissed. I wonder if the Occupiers who got charged with disorderly conduct and harassment were–oh, wait…
You pull any crazy shit like flashing your piece on the lanes, I’ll take it from you and shove it up your ass and pull the trigger until it goes click.
Your title bespeaks your horrible excuses for journalism on these pages. What evidence do you have that this person was a member of the camp?
