Approximately twenty white youths
blocked the entrances and exits of
an apartment complex in North
Portland which is occupied by
several SE Asians families. The
youths began to go door to door,
kicking the doors and yelling ra­
cial epithets. One resident called
911. It took the Portland Police
approxim ately thirty minutes to
respond. One police car arrived
with one officer, who stayed in the
car, observed the activity for five
minutes, then left. The harassment
continued. One resident asked
the youths to leave. Upon refusal,
the resident fired two rounds in the
air with a handgun and shut his
door. After he fired the shots the
harassers left the prem ises and
went across the street. At this
point, a white neighbor shot rifle
rounds in the air, and told the har­
assers to leave.
Upon leaving
they yelled, "W E W ILL BE BAC K” .
Upon leaving the area they
yelled, “ W e will be back” . They
cam e back with a gas can and
poured gasoline around the apart­
ment com plex and set the gaso­
line on fire. W hen the fire started

Operator said that it was the Fire
Department not the Police, who
was needed. At this point several
refugees got guns and fired
rounds in the air. The harassers
dispensed. The Portland Police
