Violent Portland Antifa member Heather Clark among 9 militants arrested during anti-police attack

Heather Ashley Clark, of Portland, was arrested on trespass charges. She was booked into jail and later released on own recognizance, jail records show.

Clark testified as a star witness against Post Millennial senior editor Andy Ngo in his civil trial against Rose City Antifa and its affiliated members last summer. During court testimony, the violent comrade painted Ngo as a "villain" to the jurors and herself as a victim of Ngo's reporting on extremism in the Pacific Northwest.

Clark has a history of violence and has long been active in extremism in Oregon, dating back to at least 2018 when she launched an attack on sound equipment during a James Damore event at Portland State University featuring biologist Heather Heying, who discussed differences between male and female sexes. She also attempted to attack members of a right-wing group in Portland in 2019 but was knocked to the ground when someone went to ward off her attack.

On Wednesday, Portland Police made multiple arrests after black bloc Antifa militants launched an attack on the north precinct. Police officers made surprise arrests, leaving the Antifa rioters shocked as this was the same police station they regularly attacked in 2020 with impunity, video footage shows.

The organized attack was in response to an Illinois sheriff's deputy receiving first-degree murder charges for the killing of Sonya Massey on July 6. Massey died from a gunshot wound to the head when Deputy Sean Grayson responded to Massey's 911 call of reports about a prowler. Prosecutors determined Grayson's use-of-force was not justified.

The Portland Police Bureau (PPB) issued a press release and said that nine people were arrested during the demonstration on various charges including resisting arrest, illegal firearm possession, disorderly conduct, interfering with a peace officer, criminal mischief, escape, and trespass.

Portland Police said Antifa militants approached the main entrance of the precinct around 7:20 pm and began vandalizing walls and windows. PPB moved in and made targeted arrests. Officers issued an order to disperse. Most of the group retreated but others returned to the main entrance minutes later. Portland Police warned that if the Antifa militants entered a prohibited area then they would be arrested. Members of the group entered the prohibited area and were ultimately arrested, according to the press release.
