Flyer posted on Antifa-affiliated website appears to call for laser attacks on police helicopters in Portland

A flyer allegedly created by far-left radicals calls for activists to use laser pointers against law enforcement helicopters in Portland, Oregon.

Portland has been the site of violent rioting against officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement by Antifa protesters. The situation has deteriorated to the point where the Trump administration has ordered National Guard troops to protect federal facilities and the White House has threatened to cancel federal funding to the city.

'All you need is a laser. Leave home — they can see where the laser is coming from.'

On Thursday, a flyer surfaced on social media that seems to call upon activists to commit a federal crime.

"Every night for weeks we are forced to listen to the threatening rhythm of helicopter blades as the federal regime spies on us. The only limit power knows is our refusal to submit. This Saturday, October 11th, at 9 pm you are invited to fight back. All you need is a laser. Leave home — they can see where the laser is coming from," the flyer reads.

"Go to a park, a field, or some other public place, and once the clock strikes 9 unleash your beam at the cop copter. Mask up," the flyer continues. "Coordinate with friends to throw a laser party!"

The flyer can be traced back to a post on a website titled Rose City Counter-Info that publishes "anarchist and anti-authoritarian" material. The website also publishes material promoting Antifa.

Leftist protesters have previously used laser pointers to attack federal agents in Portland, most notably in 2020. In July of that year, several protesters were arrested for violence including the use of lasers as weapons.

Journalist Andy Ngo captured video showing Portland protesters using high-powered laser pointers at that time.

"It’s not surprising to see Antifa announce their intention to commit a federal crime," national correspondent Julio Rosas told Blaze News. "Their goal is to cause disruptions to the federal government in any way they can. It would be amusing to see if they follow through on it as four illegal aliens in Portland were recently arrested for doing the same thing."

Rosas spoke at a roundtable about Antifa at the White House on Wednesday to describe his experiences in dealing with the left-wing group.

Blaze News' requests for comment from various Portland Antifa websites were not immediately answered.
