New article out on Melissa Berntsen aka NicoOregon. She is a grifting livestreamer who is trying to build a career on transphobia and liberal use of bear spray. She is also facing bias crime charges because of this. stumptownresearchcollective.noblogs.org/melissa-bern...
Melissa Berntsen, a boring looking white lady with blonde hair.

Update - Melissa Berntsen (aka NicoOregon) has been charged with a bias crime for her behavior at Hillsboro Pride, as well as harassment and unlawful use of mace. We still encourage the victims to pursue civil action against her, if they have not already done so.
Court docket for Oregon case 26CR35731 showing the charges against Melissa Berntsen.

Finally, Melissa asked the cops about why the alleged phone-tosser wasn't arrested & says she wants to press charges. They say they tried looking her up & couldn't find her, so she admits she gave them fake info, and that cops have let her do that before "to avoid doxing".

Regarding that incident, she admits "I get angry...yes I jacked him with my metal tripod...it didn't damage him, it didn't hurt him, unfortunately." She makes it clear throughout her stream that she enjoys assaulting people and showed up to the event with that intent.

This alleged happening was at the start of the event, before Melissa maced anyone, for context since it's out of order here. She says on her stream that the person was banned from the park for a year, and then goes on to say she gave the police a fake name and phone number. True genius shit.

A cop literally got maced, but they never even took away Melissa's bear spray let alone charge her for assaulting the event-goers or the police themselves. Here you can see her celebrating this.

The cops ended up excluding the chuds from the park, but let them stand at the entrance yelling slurs at attendees & even went out of their way to bring them water bottles since they couldn't use the water fountains in the park anymore, enabling them to continue harassing the event.

A cop then explicitly states to her that their biggest concern is "your guys's [the chuds] safety", and secondarily "then also the hundreds of people here."

A cop even admits that he got affected by her bear spray and was coughing, but just kinda jokes about it with her. If one of the pride event attendees maced a cop while commiting an unprovoked assault, they would 100% be charged with assaulting a police officer.

So they watched that & did nothing. This is not surprising because Hillsboro PD sucks (ACAB but also them in particular), and also Melissa even called it. She literally said "the cops aren't gonna do shit, thank god" after macing two people for laughing at her and her friends. And she was right.

Here's Melissa lying to the cops. The cop tells her "we saw what was happening here [2nd incident], I didn't see what took place down there [1st incident]." So the cops admit to watching as she bear sprayed two people for laughing.

Melissa & Tommy both tell cops that her first victim assaulted Tommy, and that it's on video. The cops either never watched the videos or just didn't care, bc all 4 of the chuds filming captured it on their streams & it's very clear that they are blatantly lying. Here's Tommy lying to the cops:

Melissa & her crew see her 1st victim getting into an ambulance & proceed to mock them. Then she says "I'm taking off [from streaming] for a couple days so I had to get a couple of those in." Someone says "well you got two in one day" and she replies "Yup, yup. God bless the makers of bear mace"

Moments later she states "I do not fuckin stand for this shit [pride events]. I wanna get sponsored by the bear mace company, I hope they sponsor my Youtube channel because I love their product."

After speaking to the cops, which we will cover in a sec, Tommy complains about being maced by Melissa & suggests getting non-aerosol maces. She says "But those people who were laughing, they got it REALLY good. Don't fucking laugh at us man", admitting she sprayed the 2nd victims for laughing.

Next, Melissa says that she should hide her bear spray before the cops come over. Tommy tells her (re the 1st macing) not to use spray when he's next to her & she responds "sorry he was getting so close to you, it was pissing me off". She knows the 1st victim didn't assault anyone.

Here's another angle of that same incident, where you can clearly see her moving towards the victims and demanding they back up before she sprays them.

2nd incident: As Tommy washed out his eyes, 2 attendees were cackling at him. Melissa got angry, saying "You want some too? I'd shut the fuck up" and "I'll fuckin mace your ass next". She yells at the victims to back up while she advances on them, and then she bear sprays them.

1st incident: Tommy intentionally walks into an attendee's flag, then destroys it and claims he was hit with it. Video clearly show that he is lying. When the victim got upset that Tommy destroyed their flag, Melissa bear sprayed them (and got Tommy too LOL)

Meet serial macer Melissa Janell Berntsen, aka NicoOregon, who went to Hillsboro Pride w/ Tommy Allen on 6/6 and assaulted many attendees with bear spray, including children. Her stream was wildly incriminating & we encourage the victims to sue her. Highlight clips below ⬇︎

Wish we didn't have to say this, but.....actually call them y'all. We're talking to you. Yes you, the person reading this right now. Call CCC. Comment on their social media. Print & distribute these flyers. Don't just scroll past, assuming others are doing the work. That's not how shit gets done.
An image of a flyer, with two photos of Tommy Allen and the headline "Why is Central City COncern protecting Tommy Alllen?" The text below it is "Tommy Allen is a far right agitator with a history of violent assaults. He gereates income from his lievstreams far beyond what is allowed in income-restricted housing. And yet Central City Concern continues to give him leeway that  they will not give to others who are in greater need of housing.
Call Central City Concern and the City of Portland and ask why exceptions are being made for Tommy Allen.
CCC: (503) 294-1681
City Hall: (503) 823-4000"
