Portland Antifa Leader Found Guilty; Courthouse Assault Leads to Arrest

Alissa Azar convicted of felony riot; John Hacker detained for attacking a man outside the trial.

A jury convicted Alissa Azar of felony riot and disorderly conduct for her role in a 2021 Antifa riot in Clackamas County.
John Hacker, another Antifa member, was arrested for assaulting a man outside the courthouse following Azar's verdict.
Azar's trial was marked by heavy security and intimidation from Antifa members, including harassment of journalists and officials.
Azar's defense argued her actions were in self-defense and framed the victims as far-right extremists.
The trial highlighted ongoing tensions between Antifa and conservative groups in Oregon.
