Multnomah County Circuit Judge Heidi Moawad said the assailant, Blake D. Hampe, will remain under her supervision for three years and is banned from possessing weapons or participating in unlawful assemblies or riots during that time. He may attend lawful demonstrations.
Hampe, now 46, was caught on video stabbing right-wing activist Andrew Duncomb, 28, outside the graffiti-smeared barricades surrounding the federal courthouse just after 2:30 a.m. on July 25, 2020, according to court documents.
"Right wing activist" = Journalist who was trying to film the riots.
Defense attorney Alicia Hercher said prosecutors struck a plea deal after seeing evidence that Duncomb’s injuries weren’t life-threatening.
That's fucking bizarre.
he said the knife entered his back and narrowly missed his spine.
Hampe pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree assault under the terms of the deal. He was previously convicted of possessing child pornography in federal court in Maine in 2008, according to court papers.
LAST LINE OF THE STORY.
I won't link it but the local Portland subreddit is essentially calling this guy a hero and supporting his actions. It is one of the more disgusting things I've seen in this shithole of a city.
Man, I do not like in any way the idea that “we’ll mitigate because the effect of the attack was not life threatening.” Fuck that, you stab a guy, you don’t really have much control over those margins if “half an inch this way, dead; half an inch that way, survives.” Intent to kill or cause grievous bodily harm, bam, give him a sentence commensurate with attempted murder. Knock a year off the 20 for the luck of not actually killing the dude
