On this day, March 28, 1942, Japanese-American lawyer Minoru Yasui (1916-1986) violated a military curfew in Portland, Oregon, and demanded to be arrested after he was refused enlistment to fight for the US. He was one of the few Japanese Americans who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese Americans or Japanese immigrants following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In 2015 he was among 17 people awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom.
Also on this day March 28, 1939, the front page of the Eugene Register-Guard blared the headline: "Mighty Oregon Scramble Ohio State to Take Hoop Title of All America," right under a declaration that the Spanish War had ended, of course.
Portland Oregon is a dangerous city lately
Portland Oregon is out of control in 2020. Unspeakable crimes seem to happen with regularity under Ted Wheeler and Kate Brown's leadership -- while most of the media remains silent.
On Friday, October 23rd at about 10:48pm., Portland Police
responded with Portland Fire & Rescue to a vehicle fire in the area of Northeast 148th Avenue and Northeast San Rafael Street. Responders determined there was a person, deceased, in the vehicle.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy and determined this death was a homicide. Additional information will be released at the direction of the investigators. It is not known if this incident is related to the Antifa and/or Black Lives Matter riots that have plagued the City of Portland for months.
Portland Police homicide detectives are investigating and ask that anyone with information about this incident contact
Detective William Winters via email or at 503-823-0466 or
